Tibetan groups in Switzerland file complaint against the IOC
By Choekyi Lhamo
DHARAMSHALA, July 26: Four Tibetan organizations based in Switzerland on Friday filed a complaint against the International Olympic Committee (IOC) with National Contact Point in Bern over violating OECD Guidelines by awarding China to be the host of Beijing Winter Olympics scheduled in February next year. The OECD Guidelines for multinational enterprises are legally non-binding recommendations on responsible business conduct addressed by the various governments.
The four Tibet groups include the Swiss-Tibetan Friendship Association, Tibetan Youth Association in Europe, Tibetan community in Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and Tibetan Women’s Organization in Swiss. The guidelines obligate multinational enterprises like the IOC to respect globally recognized human rights, as the groups said were being violated under the Chinese government.
