a) recalling the current tragedy of the Tibetan, Mongolian and Uygur peoples that live in the silence and absence of any significant reaction of the authorities of the free world countries and under the ferocious oppression of an authoritarian, colonial and imperialistic regime; b) considering that, if no urgent concrete political initiative will be undertaken in the next few years, these peoples will be confined to the role of extras living in reserves for tourists and that their existence as peoples will be deleted from the planet; c) recalling the policy of oppression and violation of fundamental rights of the Chinese Communist Party and its 1.3 Billion of Chinese, Tibetan, Mongolian, Uygur victims; d) considering that the recognition of territorial integrity of the Chinese State does not constitute - as demonstrated in particular by the cases of the Baltic States, the Caucasus and Central Asia - the recognition of the legitimacy of the invasion and occupation of Tibet; e) considering that the transf

ormation of the Beijing regime from a Communist into a National-Communist regime increases its dangerousness and represents an extremely serious threat both for the peoples that live in the People's Republic of China and for the peace and stability in Asian and in the entire world; f) Concerned by the refusal of Democratic Governments to take into consideration this threat and considering their inaction as an act of active complicity with the policies of violation of fundamental rights perpetrated by the People's Republic of China as well as their non-assistance to victims of those policies; g) welcoming the resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 6 July last in which the EP "Calls on the governments of the Member States to give serious consideration to the possibility of recognising the Tibetan Government in exile as the legitimate representative of the Tibetan people if, within three years, the Beijing authorities and the Tibetan government in exile have not, through negotiations organised under

the aegis of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, signed an agreement on a new Statute for Tibet"; h) recalling, as the specified in the above-mentioned text, that such a Status should include full autonomy in all sectors of political, economical, social as well as cultural life, with the sole exception of foreign affairs and defence; i) recalling, furthermore, that this autonomy should concern the entirety of the Tibetan territory as prior to the Chinese invasion of 1949 and not the one of the current Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR); j) welcoming the adoption by the Regional Council of Piedmont of a motion in which it endorses a resolution adopted by the European Parliament on 6 July 2000; k) welcoming the adhesion of Mr. Alain Bayrou, Mayor of Briançon, to the new "A Flag for a new Status of Full Autonomy for Tibet" Campaign as well as the other five municipalities that have already endorsed the initiative; l) thanking the seven Radical Members of the European Parliament and the Transnational

Radical Party for having organised this third European Seminar for Freedom of Tibet; The participants in the Seminar commit themselves and invite all concerned individuals to: 1) Launch a new campaign targeting all national Parliaments of Europe urging them to promptly adopt parliamentary resolutions similar to the one adopted by the European Parliament last June calling on their respective governments to recognise the Tibetan Government in Exile if, within the next three years, the Beijing authorities and the Tibetan Government in exile have not reached an agreement on a new status for Tibet through a negotiation under the aegis of the Secretary-General of the United Nations; and to multiply all initiatives so that the demonstration of 10 March 2001 become an important mobilising occasion in this sense; 2) Launch a new campaign targeting dozens of thousands of municipalities all over Europe with the objective of permanently displaying the Tibetan flag until a new status of full autonomy for Tibet is re

ached; 3) Mobilise themselves so that the European Union and its Member States continue their dialogue with the People's Republic of China but to abandon the so-called "Critical Dialogue on Human Rights" policy with it and make the establishment and enforcement of democracy, the rule of law and freedom in China and in the occupied territories of Tibet, Southern Mongolia and Eastern Turkestan, their absolute priority, and to defend this position in all bilateral and multilateral fora beginning with the upcoming session of the UN Commission on Human Rights; 4) Multiply all initiatives in order to create a world-wide movement to unite all those that in China, Tibet and the rest of the world have decided to make the struggle for the establishment and enforcement of democracy and the rule of law in China, and Freedom in Tibet, Eastern Turkestan and Southern Mongolia of their priorities of their political commitment; To achieve all this, the participants in the Seminar decide to: 5) set as the first objectiv

e of the new campaign "A Flag for a new Status of Full Autonomy for Tibet" the permanent display of the flag, within the next six months, in at least 1,000 cities in Europe; 6) create an "EuroTibetForum" through the opening in their respective internet sites of a section to debate and strategize; 7) create a working group on the economic situation in the People's Republic of China and on Sino-European economic relations.
