Human rights are fundamental individual rights, these rights are the right to live in the political, economic, social, and cultural fields. Amid efforts to maximize the fulfillment of human rights, both nationally and internationally, there is a conflict in China between the Chinese government and Uighur Muslims which has resulted in human rights violations. This study aims to look at the regulation of human rights protection from the point of view of national law, namely the Law of the People's Republic of China, and from the point of view of International Law. This type of research is a literature study, the approach used is normative, the data collection technique is through data collection in the form of readings such as journals, books, and the internet, the results of which are directly analyzed through qualitative methods. The results of this study indicate that the protection of human rights is stated in the Chinese Constitution but its implementation is very difficult because it is contrary to China's use of communism, while the protection of human rights from international law is very possible because it is regulated in an international legal instrument, namely the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. , 1949 Geneva Conventions and the Rome Statute.
