Charter of the Tibetans in Exile
Based on the spirit of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Charter guarantees to all Tibetans equality before the law and enjoyment of rights and freedom without discrimination on the basis of sex, religion, race, language and social origin. It provides for a clear separation of power among the three organs of the administration: judiciary, legislature and executive.
Before the Charter came into being, the Central Tibetan Administration functioned roughly along the lines of the draft democratic constitution for future Tibet, promulgated by His Holiness the Dalai Lama on 10 March 1963.
Over the years, the charter was amended on a regular basis. This year, after the devolution of political leadership by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the Charter was yet again amended accordingly to distribute the powers within the three bodies i.e Executive, Legislative and Judiciary.

If the Charter is for all Tibetans, why is it not applicable to Dorje Shugden practitioners ? How come it does not guarantee Tibetan DS practitioner’s equality and enjoyment of rights and freedom ?
It looks like the Charter is not properly exercised. This should be against the Law to discriminate another Tibetan of his/her religion.
