International Commission of Jurists supports Tibet inquiry

The Geneva-based International Commission of Jurists is calling on China “to permit the Tibetan people to demonstrate peacefully” and also called for “an international investigation into serious allegations that the Chinese security forces have carried out human rights violations during the recent protests in Lhasa and other locations.”

The International Commission of Jurists is dedicated to the primacy, coherence and implementation of international law and principles that advance human rights. The Commission was founded in Berlin in 1952 and its membership is composed of sixty eminent jurists who are representatives of the different legal systems of the world.
