The following are key elements of the proposed Zone of Ahimsa

the manufacture, testing, and stockpiling of nuclear weapons and other armaments on the Tibetan plateau would be prohibited | the Tibetan plateau would be transformed into the world's largest natural park or biosphere. Strict laws would be enforced to protect wildlife and plant life; the exploitation of natural resources would be carefully regulated so as not to damage relevant ecosystems; and a policy of sustainable development would be adopted in populated areas | the manufacture and use of nuclear power and other technologies which produce hazardous waste would be prohibited | national resources and policy would be directed towards the active promotion of peace and environmental protection. Organisations dedicated to the furtherance of peace and to the protection of all forms of life would find a hospitable home in Tibet | the establishment of international and regional organisations for the promotion and protection of human rights would be encouraged in Tibet.
