Lawmakers and experts from 29 countries gathered in Tokyo from June 2 to 4 for the 9th World Parliamentarians' Convention on Tibet (WPCT). The event concluded with the adoption of the "Tokyo Declaration." A forceful rebuke of China's policies in Tibet, it calls for international legislative action to safeguard the region's culture, environment, and religious freedom.
This was the first time Japan hosted the convention, reaffirming its growing voice in regional human rights diplomacy. The Central Tibetan Administration (CTA) and the Japan Parliamentary Support Group for Tibet, the world's largest such group, jointly organized the convention.
Coinciding with the upcoming 90th birthday of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in July, the timing and venue carried symbolic weight.
