Tibet Atrocities Determination Act
This bill directs the U.S. Secretary of State to determine within one year whether the Chinese government's actions against Tibetans constitute genocide or crimes against humanity. The assessment must evaluate specific factors such as forced displacement, cultural suppression, and the removal of children from their families, while consulting with human rights experts and advocacy groups. If the determination is positive, the report will include evidence and recommendations for potential U.S. policy responses, including sanctions. The findings will be submitted to the Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees in an unclassified format.
