Tibetan Self-Determination Initiative

C100 is currently focusing on the Tibetan people's fundamental right to self-determination: the underlying principle rather than any particular implementation. To support this new initiative, C100 helped establish the International Institute for Self-Determination (IISD) – a think tank whose mission is to provide an objective framework for thinking about the process of self-determination for all peoples. Together with the IISD, C100 is working to build consensus amongst Tibetans and their supporters around the principle of self-determination and, in doing so, help unify and strengthen the Tibet movement as whole.
