ICT urges UN Committee to focus on Tibetans’ deteriorating economic, social and cultural rights

May 6, 2014 ・ International Campaign for TibetNews

The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) urged a key UN Committee to review China’s policies on the right to housing, education and cultural life of Tibetan people. On May 5, 2014 ICT Germany’s Executive Director Kai Müller made a statement in Geneva ahead of the UN Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) review of China.

The CESCR will review China’s compliance with the Convention on Economic Social and Cultural Rights on May 8, 2014. The Committee monitors the implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights by its State parties and reviews each State every five years. China’s second review was scheduled to occur in 2010, but it was four years late in submitting its report to the Committee. Therefore, this review comes 9 years since the first.

On May 5, non-governmental organizations, including ICT, were given the opportunity to make statements with regard to China’s compliance with CESCR.

The full ICT statement is available here.
