Abstract
The Tibetan issue constituted an important point in the course of the Cold War between the Eastern and Western camps, as it formed an element of pressure on the Chinese government internally and externally. The Canadian government’s position came from among the positions of countries interested in the Tibetan issue and opposed to - as they put it - the Chinese violations of the Tibetan people and their privacy. The Canadian documents tried to It follows the Tibetan issue from its very beginnings in order to be able to form a vision about that issue, and the Canadian documents dealt with the Tibetan problem from 1944 until the discussions of the United Nations General Assembly in 1969.
These documents touched on the official position of the Canadian government after it followed this issue historically and politically, and was informed of the positions of regional and major countries on it.
The research was divided into an introduction, four sections, and a conclusion. These sections discussed Canada’s political position on the Tibetan issue, and its political position focused on opposing the Chinese occupation of Tibet and the measures that resulted from it.
