UN expert expresses concern over removal of the word “Tibet” from French museums
Paris — The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Cultural Rights has issued an official statement expressing deep concern over the removal of the word ‘Tibet’ from exhibitions organised by major French museums. She asserts that replacing the word ‘Tibet’ with “Xizang” or ‘Himalayan world’ undermines the rights of Tibetans to enjoy their cultural heritage and to self-determination.
