The
Central Tibetan Administration (
CTA;
Tibetan:
Tsänjöl Bhömi Drikdzuk, , literally
Exile Tibetan People's Organisation), is an organisation based in India with the stated goals of "rehabilitating
Tibetan refugees and restoring freedom and happiness in
Tibet". It is also referred to as the
Tibetan Government in Exile, but while its internal structure is government-like, it has stated that it is "not designed to take power in Tibet"; rather, it will be dissolved "as soon as freedom is restored in Tibet" in favor of a government formed by Tibetans inside Tibet. In addition to political advocacy, it administers a network of schools and other cultural activities for Tibetans in India. On 11 February 1991, the CTA became a founding member of the
Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organization (UNPO) at a ceremony held at the
Peace Palace in
The Hague,
Netherlands.
