"Mr President, the right to participate in democratic elections is a universal fundamental right. The elections now under way are important for the preservation of Tibetan identity and culture. The Tibetans are voting for a new spiritual leader, as the current Dalai Lama steps down.
Back in 2009, we agreed that the EU would support democracy and participatory governance in its foreign relations. We need to be consistent and stand behind this policy of ours.
Obviously, Nepal is siding with China, under pressure. Nepal needs to be reminded of its international human rights obligations to safeguard the democratic rights of the Tibetans, and it should not prevent free elections from going ahead."@en1
