UNPO's XII General Assembly Adopts Southern Mongolia Resolution
On 3 July 2015, representatives from the Southern Mongolian Human Rights Information Center (SMHRIC) presented this resolution to the UNPO’s XII General Assembly, calling for increased pressure to be put on the Chinese government by human rights organizations to end their oppression of Southern Mongolian people, particularly with regards to the destruction of their traditional nomadic modes of life. The UNPO has adopted the resolution, and henceforth will seek to further these aims.
