The International Campaign for Tibet (ICT) urged a key UN Committee to review China\u2019s policies on the right to housing, education and cultural life of Tibetan people. On May 5, 2014 ICT Germany\u2019s Executive Director Kai M\u00fcller made a statement in Geneva ahead of the UN Committee on Economic Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) review of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The CESCR will review China\u2019s compliance with the Convention on Economic Social and Cultural Rights on May 8, 2014. The Committee monitors the implementation of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights by its State parties and reviews each State every five years. China\u2019s second review was scheduled to occur in 2010, but it was four years late in submitting its report to the Committee. Therefore, this review comes 9 years since the first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On May 5, non-governmental organizations, including ICT, were given the opportunity to make statements with regard to China\u2019s compliance with CESCR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
