Tibetan Autonomy and Self-Government – Myth or Reality

Workshop in New Delhi

Academia Nr: 21 (Dezember – März / dicembre – marzo 2000)

by Jens Woelk

Much work has been done and many studies have been carried out on the

right of the Tibetan people to self-determination and there are plenty good

legal arguments for the support of the Tibetan quest for independence. The

reality, however, is that even though Tibet continues to be occupied by

China and despite the suffering of Tibetan people and culture, the

international community does not exercise the same pressure on China as

it has recently applied in other cases.

In the Workshop, organised by the Tibetan Parliamentary and Policy Research

Center (TPPRC), autonomy and self-government for Tibetans were analysed and

discussed as “internal” application of the right of self-determination which is the

essence of the Dalai Lama’s Strasbourg Proposal. The scope was to examine

the various options of autonomy for Tibet under various aspects: first under

international law, second under a practical and comparative view and third in the

context of Chinese law and the actual situation in China, taking into account also

history and future developments. Besides Tibetan scholars and politicians, a

number of scholars from all over the world participated and contributed to give a

very rich and complete overall picture which should help the Tibetans imagine

how an autonomy arrangement might look like.
