andWHEREAS: Examples of human rights violations include death in detention, torture, disappearances, arbitrary arrest, detention without public trial, denial of free speech and free press, population transfer, coerced sterilization and abortions, suppression of Tibetan Buddhism, destruction of Tibetan culture, and widespread racism and discrimination against Tibetans; andWHEREAS: The United States Congress has stated that "Tibet, including those areas incorporated into the Chinese Provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan, Gansu and Qinghai, is an occupied country under the established principles of international law whose true representatives are the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in exile as recognized by the Tibetan people;” andWHEREAS: The United Nations General Assembly passed Resolutions 1353 (XIV), 1723 (XVI), and 2079 (XX), calling for the cessation of practices which deprive the Tibetan people of their fundamental human rights and freedoms, including their right to self-determination;
