flag Australia urges UN to protect Tibetan religious freedom, opposing China’s influence on Dalai Lama succession.

flag Australia expressed concern at the UN Human Rights Council over China's influence on the Dalai Lama succession, calling such interference unacceptable and stressing that religious leadership should follow tradition, not external control. flag Ambassador Clare Walsh highlighted ongoing restrictions on Tibet’s cultural and spiritual freedoms, aligning with remarks by Australian MPs and senators during Tibet Lobby Day. flag Lawmakers including Steph Hodgins-May, Nick McKim, and Susan Templeman rejected any Dalai Lama appointed under Chinese influence as illegitimate, emphasizing the need to uphold religious traditions. flag The statements reflect broader international scrutiny of China’s policies in Tibet and reaffirm support for Tibetan religious autonomy.
