Interesting article. I'm particularly interested in learning more about population transfers by non-European cultures, including any identified pre-historic or proto-historic actions in and among what we might now characterize indigenous groups. Most of the literature I see is about actions by Europeans (where it's certainly not hard to find examples). Have any significant advances been made by the international community in defining and establishing standards around population transfer, in war or peacetime?
Tibet today and for the better part of the last century is being culturally and ethnically cleansed by Han Chinese with policies intend to make Tibet an integral part of China and control desire for Tibetan self-determination, including population transfers of Tibetans into urban China and Han Chinese in significant numbers into Tibet. These practices have included use of forced labor resulting in the deaths of thousands of Tibetans; forced sterilization of women; widespread famine from the destruction of farmland and irrigation systems; destruction of trade and commerce, devastating the livelihoods of thousands of Tibetans; systematic religious persecution and forced indoctrination into Communist ideology; large-scale bombing; confiscation of property from monasteries, private individuals, and former Tibetan officials; imprisonment, deportation, torture, and murder of thousands of people; and the transfer of Han majority people into the region.
Since 2014, these same practices are also happening against the Uyghurs, a Turkic Muslim minority in Xinjiang Autonomous Region in western China.
There were no such falsehoods such as the "international community" in much earlier times, where conquest was the overt goal and population transfers or exterminations resulted such as the Bantu expansion.
In 2013, an advisor to Tony Blair's New Labour government, which was the architect of mass migration into Britain, admitted that mass immigration was deliberately pursued as a social policy to change the makeup of Britain. New Labour wanted to "rub the Right's nose in diversity" and make it harder for a truly right-wing party ever to get elected again.
“The fact that none of us can know Truth individually does not spare us the duty of seeking it...” well said.

Peter Mandelson, one of the most important figures in the New Labour regime, admitted that his government was so keen to bring in as many immigrants as possible, that they actually sent out search parties across Europe to encourage people to come.
