Relatively wallet-friendly starting rates make this a welcome addition.” Harbor View Hotel, Martha’s Vineyard: “In a $15-million renovation, the hotel’s Historic Building has been given a chic, contemporary update, and a new four-room penthouse has been added to the top floor.” READ MORE: Boston Police Arrest Uber Driver Accused Of Sexually Assaulting Woman Life House Nantucket: A “fresh, beautifully designed retreat along the cobblestoned byways of New England’s famed island seaport. . . a comfortably modern way to inhabit a seafaring dreamscape.” Miraval Berkshires, Lenox: “ The vibe is more summer camp than boot camp at the adults-only, 100-room Miraval Berkshires, which unfolds across 380 piney acres. . . Aside from its easygoing ethos, the draw is Miraval’s program of inventive, and decidedly active, wellness experiences.” The Newbury Boston: “ The Newbury Boston is the latest incarnation of the Neoclassical 1927 building that formerly housed the Ritz-Carlton.

Group urges UN to probe China for crimes against humanity
KASHGAR, China — A human rights group appealed to the United Nations on Monday to investigate allegations China’s government is committing crimes against humanity in the Xinjiang region. Human Rights Watch cited reports of the mass detention of Muslims, a crackdown on religious practices and other measures against minorities in the northwestern region. It said they amount to crimes against humanity as defined by the treaty that established the International Criminal Court. China is not a member of the court and could use its veto power as a permanent U.N. Security Council member to block action against Chinese officials, Human Rights Watch said in a report. However, the New York-based group said the U.N. Human Rights Commission should create a body to investigate the charges, identify those responsible and provide a road map to hold them accountable. More than 1 million people have been confined to camps in Xinjiang, according to foreign governments and researchers. Authorities there are accused of imposing forced labor and birth controls. The Chinese government rejects complaints of abuses and says the camps are for job training to support economic development and combat Islamic radicalism. The government is pressing foreign clothing and shoe brands to reverse decisions to stop using cotton from Xinjiang due to reports of possible forced labor there. Then-U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declared in the final days of the Trump administration that China was committing genocide in Xinjiang. His successor under President Joe Biden, Antony Blinken, has retained that designation. The parliaments of Belgium, the Netherlands and Canada have accused Beijing of genocide, though Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been reluctant to use the term. A spokesman for the ruling Communist Party on Monday rejected accusations Beijing has committed genocide or crimes against humanity in Xinjiang. Such remarks by Pompeo and others “are totally opposite to ...
