Their real report is this one is quite extensive.

The last paragraph is:

In 2022, a report assessing the human rights situation in the Uyghur Region by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) documented serious human rights violations against Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim ethnic minority communities, corroborating the findings of Amnesty International and other credible organizations. The UN report concluded that these violations may constitute crimes under international law, including crimes against humanity.

The report is here.

The report cite Zenz 2 times directly and probably more indirectly.

Can you tell me about why he is untrustworthy?

He is a propagandist that works for Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. And What Dr. Zenz has to say about gaza? NOTHING in fact he's spend his time criticizing Palestine: prints

Apologies, I’m not seeing any direct citing of Zenz. Am I missing it? I did a Ctrl+F search to make sure and I’m not seeing his name on that report at all.

Zenz is not the OHCHR and had never been one.

Additionally, I have people arguing with me in the comments that the UN says genocide was debunked but that quote shows the opposite.

Ehhh quotes normally is with the surname and abbreviate name. Ctrl + f returns 2 A. Zenz in the OHCHR report.

The thing about Zenz, almost every thing about Uyghur genocide cites him direly like OHCHR did or indirectly like Amnesty did(citing another source that cites him).

What OHCHR is quoting is: "Thoroughly Reforming them Toward a Healthy Heart Attitude" and “Wash Brains, Cleanse Hearts”: Evidence from Chinese Government Documents about the Nature and Extent of Xinjiang’s Extrajudicial Internment Campaign both written by Zenz
