In yet another brazen display of disregard for human rights and international scrutiny, China has ignored a damning letter from 13 United Nations Special Rapporteurs condemning the construction of the Kamtok Dam in Dege County, Tibet. The letter, dated 8 July 2024, was made public on 6 September after Beijing predictably failed to respond within the given 60-day deadline. The dam project, which threatens to forcibly displace thousands of Tibetans, destroy centuries-old monasteries, and wreak environmental havoc, has faced vehement local opposition since its proposal in 2012.
