Summary

Finds that China's one child-per-family-population control program, with its reliance on coerced abortion and resultant increase in female infanticide, violates human rights and constitutes an ongoing crime against humanity. Calls upon the Chinese Government to cease this policy and upon other governments to oppose the institution of such policies in their own countries.
