Through independent, expert, legal research, advocacy, and education, TJC works to promote human rights, environmental governance, refugee protection, and self-governance for the people of Tibet. We work independently and in strategic collaboration with non-profit and other organizations to empower the Tibetan movement with an understanding of legal issues, and to engage UN and other international institutions, human rights treaty bodies, governments, parliamentarians, and the Tibetan and general publics to find a peaceful resolution of the situation in Tibet.<\/p>\n<p>For over 20 years, Tibet Justice Center has focused its legal and academic expertise on\u00a0<b>four key areas<\/b>\u00a0to support the human rights and self-determination of the Tibetan people:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We strive to bring<b>\u00a0human rights\u00a0<\/b>issues in Tibet to international attention. We do this by engaging the UN and other international institutions and treaty bodies, as well as other key stakeholders, with reports, oral advocacy, and publications based on legal and field research that document the grave human rights situation in Tibet. Our research findings challenge the Chinese government\u2019s detrimental policies and actions as they affect the land and people of Tibet, and bring pressure to bear for change in the Tibetan people\u2019s access to civil, political, cultural, social, economic, and environmental rights under international laws and treaties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We support Tibetan\u00a0<b>refugee protection<\/b>\u00a0through activities including field research and reports on Tibetans\u2019 legal status in exile, providing expert affidavits in asylum cases and sustaining links with asylum and immigration lawyers in the US.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We support the cultivation of democratic institutions and a culture of democracy and the rule of law within the Tibetan community in exile<b>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0<\/b>through training and capacity-building workshops, research papers, and meetings on issues related to\u00a0<b>self-governance<\/b>\u00a0with both Tibetan officials and the general Tibetan public in exile in South Asia, and elsewhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>We work to protect Tibet\u2019s environment<b>\u00a0<\/b>and promote its sustainable development<b>\u00a0<\/b>by advocating for the Tibetans\u2019 right to\u00a0<b>environmental governance<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 i.e. genuine access to and control over decision-making in the management, restoration, and conservation of Tibet\u2019s natural resources. We believe that these freedoms constitute a powerful \u2013 and increasingly vital \u2013 form of self-determination to which all Tibetans have a fundamental right.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Tibet Justice Center (TJC) director Ms.Iona visited Tibetan Legal Association (TLA) office, meet with the president and Secretary and senior Advocate of TLA, they have discussed many legal issues of Tibetan societies in Exile, they have also discussed the collaborate work in future.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":789,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[38],"class_list":["post-788","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-tjc-director-visits-tla-office"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=788"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":791,"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/788\/revisions\/791"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=788"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=788"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tibetanlegalassociation.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=788"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
