The motion reaffirms Tibet’s historical independence and endorses the Middle Way Policy as the most viable approach to resolving the Sino-Tibetan conflict through meaningful dialogue.
Furthermore, it appeals to peace advocates, impartial global leaders, parliamentarians, writers, media professionals, and independent research organisations to visit Tibet and witness the ground realities first-hand.

It affirming that Tibet is an occupied nation, it calls for the immediate withdrawal of policies of forced assimilation and urges a commitment to resolving the Sino-Tibetan conflict through peaceful dialogue.

The resolution also encourages Tibetans inside Tibet to uphold their cultural identity and maintain faith that freedom will return to their homeland.
Additionally, it calls on Tibetans in exile to utilize their global networks to expose and campaign against the Chinese government’s strategy of “Sinicization.” It announces that Tibetan organizations and individuals in the free world will observe the fourth week of September each year as a time to protect and celebrate their national identity.
It also declares that the Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) is tasked with intensifying its efforts on the international stage to counter these policies, seek active global intervention, and address the perceived threats to Tibetan identity.
