China Tribunal

The China Tribunal was an independent non-governmental "people's tribunal" established to examine allegations of forced organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience in the People's Republic of China and to consider whether any international crimes were committed. It was headquartered in London. Chaired by Sir Geoffrey Nice KC, it conducted public hearings and received testimony from witnesses, experts, and investigators. The Tribunal had no formal legal authority in any domestic or international court system.

It released its Judgment in June 2019, concluding that forced organ harvesting had been carried out for years throughout China on a significant scale and that Falun Gong practitioners had been the principal source of organs.
