Tibet has a better case for independence than Kosovo
Now this should put the cat amongst the pigeons, lol, I warned about
this. The EU and USA's frankly stupid foreign policy will get it into
major hypocritical and stupid situations. So, the writer, Paul Harris,
is a barrister and was founding chairman of Hong Kong Human Rights
Monitor and he wrote this article. I quote:
Does Tibet have a right to self-determination under international law?
There are strong legal grounds to show that it does and that this
right is being denied by China. As the recent protests in Tibet and
the disruptions to the Olympic torch relay have demonstrated, Tibet is
an international problem crying out for a solution.
Tibet=92s status has been given renewed topicality by the recent
independence of Kosovo which has so far been recognised by 40
countries, including all of the Group of Seven leading industrialised
nations. If Kosovo has a right to self-determination, the right of
Tibet is infinitely stronger. The catalogue of gross oppression, the
second-class citizen status of Tibetans under Chinese rule and
identity of Tibet as a country are all much clearer than in Kosovo=92s
case.
Hehehe, fun times ahead...
