Some of the most visible and egregious human rights offences committed by China occur in Tibet; a country occupied by China for over six decades.
Since 1950 China has enacted a series of region-specific measures in Tibet. As a result, the Tibetan people’s human rights have been grossly violated, in spite of the efforts of various concerned governments and civil society organisations to focus attention on the problem.
It is vital therefore that China is held accountable to its international obligations. The Human Rights Action Plan for Tibet (HRAP-T) is a tool devised to enable governments, international human rights monitoring mechanisms and civil society organisations to monitor, and evaluate China’s compliance with, and progress towards, the implementation of accepted recommendations and international human rights promises made to the UN.
The HRAP-T is compiled by The Tibet Advocacy Coalition; Tibet Justice Center, Students for a Free Tibet and International Tibet Network.
