Resolution

Date: Apr 7, 2011

Topic

Tibetan Democracy

Summary: The resolution condemns Nepal’s ban on Tibetan exile elections, imposed under pressure from China, as a violation of fundamental democratic rights. It calls on the Government of Nepal to allow Tibetans in exile to freely organize and participate in their democratic election process, which has existed since 1960. The European Parliament urges Nepal to respect Tibetans’ rights to freedom of expression, assembly, and association, guaranteed by international law, and to include these protections in its new constitution. It calls on Nepal to resist Chinese pressure, uphold the “Gentlemen’s Agreement” on Tibetan refugees, and ensure UNHCR access. The EU is urged to monitor the situation closely and raise the issue with Nepalese and Chinese authorities.
