SPECIAL ISSUE: Tibet at the UNCHR's 52nd Session in Geneva (18 March - 26 April, 1996)

"By Flouting the Charter's principle of "sovereign equality", the Commission undermines its credibility and trivializes the continued suffering of millions - in Chechnya, Tibet, Nigeria, and a hundred other places. Is it any wonder."

["Wronging Human Rights", Morris B. Abram, Geneva Post, 21-27 March 1996]

"The vote in Geneva can send a clear signal that in the eyes of the world, Chinese economic growth must be accompanied by the protection of basic rights and fundamental freedoms."

[Mike Jendrezejczyk and Joanna Weschler, "China Tramples Rights, And Must Be Censured," International Heard Tribune, 28 March 1996]
