Honorable Secretary General,

Invaded in 1949, and occupied by the People's Republic of China ever since, Tibet is dying. It is being asphyxiated by a systematic policy of colonization founded upon enormous transfers of Chinese citizens and upon the destruction of its unique cultural, religious, political, and environmental patrimony.
It is necessary that the International Community act through its maximum representative, the United Nations, to create the conditions for the opening, without any preconditions, of Sino-Tibetan negotiations between the Dalai Lama, the Tibetan government in exile, and the Chinese government, so that the tragedy of Tibet, which has lasted for more than forty years, can be confronted with the power of dialogue.

With the hope of accelerating the raising of consciousness in the International community, we find it to be the responsibility of the United Nations to communicate, with the utmost urgency and equivocality, a different approach, founded upon dialogue, to the tragedy of Tibet.

We turn to you, Honorable Secretary General of the United Nations, so that you may receive the Dalai Lama at the earliest possible moment for the purpose of establishing the first steps of an initiative which consents to reestablishing the violated rights and international laws in Tibet.
