UN human rights experts have issued a strong statement raising serious concerns about China’s planned interference in the succession of His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

This is a significant turning point for Tibet, echoing His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s own recent clarification: that only his institute holds the exclusive authority to recognise his reincarnation.

This unprecedented action is a direct result of sustained pressure from global Tibetan groups and supporters like you. Now, we need to harness this momentum to demand concrete action from global governments.

Add your name to our petition to demand that governments take the following actions:

● Publicly affirm that the Dalai Lama alone has the authority to determine the process of his reincarnation.
● Reject any attempt by the Chinese government to select or impose its own candidate.
● Support coordinated international efforts to uphold Tibetans’ right to practice their religion, including through targeted sanctions on officials who attempt to interfere.
