While hearing a speech by House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi about him being the recipient of the inaugural Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice award and her referencing China, His Holiness* was signalled he was being filmed; who then executed a coalition identifying triple Clooney Maneuver [@ 44:24] to confirm his membership and opposition to what the Beijing leadership is doing in Canada and around the world.
And then during the reading of the citation he employed the lexicon again to acknowledge what is known about Custodian Chief Executive throughout the world:
He has advanced the cause of human rights in every corner of the globe [46:57: Dalia Lama: Preston M.; Aussie M.]
The Speaker summed up why the United States has been so aggressive in addressing Canada’s dysfunctionalities and China’s participation in them:
[44:50] [U]nless we speak out about human rights in China and Tibet we lose all moral authority to talk about human rights anywhere in the world.
[audience applause]
