TJC Marks Independence Centenary by Releasing Updated Report on Tibetan Sovereignty and Self-Determination

February 13, 2013 is the centenary of the Tibetan proclamation of independence, issued by the XIIIth Dalai Lama. It is a fitting anniversary on which to re-release Tibet Justice Center’s report The Case Concerning Tibet, which clearly lays out the evidence and arguments that demonstrate Tibet’s sovereignty and the Tibetan people’s right to self-determination – issues just as pertinent now as they were at the time of the report’s first release in 1998. It is also an opportunity to present new evidence that has since come to light that strengthens Tibet’s case, in the form of an update section. A complementary short briefing paper summarises the issue and the report’s main arguments.
