Tibet Watch Advocacy Work


Tibet Watch researchers have attended events around the world as informed voices and advocates for the Tibetan people. We have made numerous submissions to the United Nations as a civil society group, and continue to seek new opportunities to ensure that Tibetan experiences are represented on the international stage.
