Tibet Atrocities Determination Act

This bill, titled the "Tibet Atrocities Determination Act," requires the Secretary of State to make a formal determination within one year regarding atrocities committed against Tibetans in Tibet. The Secretary must assess whether these acts, carried out by officials or agents of the People's Republic of China, constitute an ongoing genocide against the Tibetan people or crimes against humanity . Key indicators for this determination include systematic killing, serious bodily or psychological harm, life conditions calculated to destroy, measures intended to prevent births, and the forced transfer of children, such as through China's "colonial boarding school system." Concurrent with this determination, the Secretary must submit a detailed report to the appropriate congressional committees. This report must include the evidentiary basis for the determination, a review of Chinese government actions aimed at sinicizing Tibetan Buddhism or repressing Tibetan language and culture, and findings from Department of State reports and credible third-party analyses. Crucially, the report must also provide recommendations for United States policy responses , which may include potential sanctions such as visa restrictions and diplomatic actions. The Secretary is authorized to consult with experts, nongovernmental organizations, and members of the Tibetan diaspora, and the report will be unclassified with the option for a classified annex.
