The International Tibet Network, established in 2000, is a global coalition of Tibet-related non-governmental organisations. Its purpose is to maximise the effectiveness of the worldwide Tibet movement. The Network works to increase the capacity of individual member organisations, develops coordinated strategic campaigns, and encourages increased cooperation among organisations. The Network members are committed to non-violence as a fundamental principle of the Tibetan struggle. They regard Tibet as an occupied country and recognise the Tibetan Government in Exile as the sole legitimate government of the Tibetan people. Beyond these principles, the International Tibet Network respects the variety of views and opinions of its member organisations, for example concerning Tibet's future political status, and believes that diversity strengthens the movement. The Member organisations include International Campaign for Tibet, Students for a Free Tibet, Tibetan Women's Association, Gu Chu Sum Free Tibet Campaign, Australia Tibet Council. ==History== Established in 2000, International Tibet Network has 〔(Secretariat ).〕 demanded the release of Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, the 14th Dalai Lama's choice for 11th Panchen Lama, calling him "the youngest political prisoner". In 2004, just hours before organizers of the 2008 Beijing Games were to receive the Olympic flag, at the closing ceremony at 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, six ITN activists unfurled a black flag with five bullet holes replacing the Olympic rings, and began marching toward the main stadium, before being seized by the police. In 2008, International Tibet Network demonstrated outside the International Olympic Committee headquarters, demanding the exclusion of Tibetan areas from the 2008 Summer Olympics torch relay, and demanded that the IOC make a statement about the 2008 Tibetan unrest. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Tibet Network」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
