Kalon Dicki Chhoyang, Minister of the Department of Information and International Relations of the Dharamshala based Central Tibetan Administration, addressed the 5th Geneva Summit for Human Rights and Democracy. Kalon said self-immolations by the new generation of Tibetans born under Chinese rule “are sending an unequivocal message to the world about the gravity of the situation in Tibet”. She added: “China must be held accountable to the pledges it made to the UN Human Rights Council”.
