Howard B. Tolley Jr. a dévoilé le fait que la CIA avait financé la formation de la CIJ en tant qu'instrument de la Guerre froide et que ses membres ignoraient cette source de financement, cf. (en) Richard Pierre Claude, compte rendu de Howard B. Tolley Jr., The International Commission of Jurists: Global Advocates for Humam Rights, Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1994, in Human Rights Quarterly, August 1994 : « Based on the documentation and named respondents, the authors present the tale of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in secretly bankrolling the formation of the ICJ as an instrument of the cold war.

(en) Colin P. Mackerras, People’s Republic of China: Background paper on the situation of the Tibetan population, rapport pour UNHCR, p. 19-20 : « Claims such as that the Chinese are swamping Tibetans in their own country and that 1.2 million Tibetans have died due to Chinese occupation have sunk into the popular imagination, especially in the West. […] A closer examination suggests that these claims should be treated with the deepest scepticism. […] The figures show that since the early 1960s, the Tibetan population has been increasing, probably for the first time for centuries. What seems to follow from this is that the TGIE’s allegations of population reduction due to Chinese rule probably have some validity for the 1950s but are greatly exaggerated. However, since the 1960s, Chinese rule has had the effect of increasing the population of the Tibetans, not decreasing it, largely due to a modernization process that has improved the standard of living and lowered infant, maternity and other mortality rates ».
