Michael Zantovsky, and Mr. Karel Schwarzenberg, the International Committee currently consists of thirteen personalities from six countries around the world. Their mission is to monitor the human rights situation in the People's Republic of China and to campaign for its improvement before Beijing is to host the 2008 Summer Olympics.
