Supporting Southern Mongolian Human Rights in China
This act aims to support the human rights of Southern Mongolians in China, including their freedoms of expression, assembly, and religion. It seeks to protect their culture, language, and traditional way of life, as well as to condemn human rights abuses and impose sanctions on those responsible. US citizens can expect their government to actively work towards protecting the rights of ethnic minorities abroad.
