HRES 1072 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing the 65th anniversary of the Tibetan Uprising Day of March 10, 1959, and condemning human rights violations related to the hydropower dam construction project in Derge.

This resolution recognizes the 65th anniversary of the March 10, 1959, Tibetan uprising and condemns the Chinese government's human rights violations related to a hydropower dam project in Derge, Tibet. The resolution specifically highlights that the dam would displace approximately 2,000 Tibetans and destroy six historical monasteries with religious artifacts, including 13th-century murals. It also condemns the February 2024 detention of over 1,000 Tibetans who protested the dam project. The resolution calls on the Biden administration to demand China halt the dam construction, release detained protesters, and respect Tibetan cultural rights and development input as required by U.S. law.
