 Other areas of interest

Human rights
Although China is a signatory of the UN Declaration of Human Rights, abuses of fundamental rights abound in occupied Tibet. 

 

Culture & society
Restrictions on freedom of religion and educational opportunities are only two elements of the assault on Tibetan culture and society. 

Economy & environment
