U.S. would push for greater international recognition of Tibetan leaders.
The U.S. would push for greater international recognition of Tibetan leaders. This bill would make it official U.S. policy to support the Central Tibetan Administration as the legitimate voice of the Tibetan people. It would direct U.S. diplomats to advocate for their inclusion in global organizations and engage with their officials at high levels.
Today, the U.S. supports the human rights of Tibetans and a peaceful resolution to their dispute with China, but the Central Tibetan Administration lacks formal international recognition. If this bill becomes law, the U.S. would officially recognize the Central Tibetan Administration as the legitimate representative of the Tibetan people. U.S. diplomats would then actively push for their inclusion and observer status in the United Nations and other international bodies, and engage with their leaders at a higher diplomatic level.
