DescriptionTibetan Government in Exile
Seat of Government in Dharamsala

At the time of its invasion by troops of the People's Liberation Army of China in 1949, Tibet was an independent state in fact and law. The military invasion constituted an aggression on a sovereign state and a violation of international law. Today's continued occupation of Tibet by China, with the help of several hundred thousand troops, represents an ongoing violation of international law and of the fundamental rights of the Tibetan people to independence.

Since the Chinese occupation of Tibet, Tibet has maintained its governance with its seat of government in Dharamsala in northern India. His Holiness the Dalai Lama is the Head of State. As Head of Government, he maintains a Cabinet, Commissions and International Offices. The Cabinet and National Assembly are elected by popular vote and electoral college every five years.
