European Parliament adopted three resolutions on Thursday addressing human‑rights situations in Haiti, China and Venezuela. In Haiti, lawmakers warned of a sharp rise in child trafficking and gang recruitment, calling for disarmament, reintegration and stronger protection for victims of sexual violence. They urged the UN arms embargo to be fully enforced and increased international aid. The Chinese resolution demanded the repeal of the “ethnic unity and progress” law, condemned its impact on Tibetan, Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia peoples, and called for the release of political prisoners such as Ilham Tohti. Finally, the Venezuelan resolution criticized the limited scope of the recently ended Amnesty Law, highlighted that 470 political prisoners remain detained, and urged the regime to lift repressive measures. The resolutions passed with 511‑21‑42, 439‑52‑71 and 507‑31‑35 votes, respectively.
