Are western media free from propaganda though?

Also when did UN called it a genocide? I googled it but found nothing specific. Mind sharing a link to the claim?

The ICC has not yet prosecuted China [1]. One would have to be quite thick to ignore Beijing's wanton criminality in its west.

Is the ICC part of the UN?

Sort of. The UN Security Council refers cases to the International Criminal Court for prosecution [1], and the ICC, both present and historical ad hocs, is a creature of it [2]. China isn’t a state party to the ICC, which limits its jurisdiction, and vetoes UN criticism of it, so pointing to either of these bodies as exonerations is tantamount to asking Beijing is the CCP is committing genocide.
