Sri Lankas third Eelam War created a political-territorial division of the island with a resultant dual state structure in the North-East. In the context of the 2002 Ceasefire Agreement and based on earlier institutional experiments, the LTTE is currently engaged in a comprehensive process of state building within the areas they control," says Prof Stokke of Department of Sociology and Human Geography, University of Oslo, in an article which examines the emerging new Tamileelam state structure. He adds that only the "facilitation and dynamics of pro-democracy forces within the LTTE," will determine the transformation from "the"strong and centralized state," that currently…

The elections are for a municipal council and smaller local authorities in outlying areas.

Call for immigrant amnesty in UK Half a million illegal immigrants should be given the right to stay in Britain, a think tank has said. The Institute of Public Policy Research says such an amnesty would bring in £1bn in extra taxes, and save costs of £4.7bn needed to deport people. It is urging Home Secretary Jacqui Smith to adopt the move, saying a large scale deportation would never happen. The Home Office said an amnesty was unnecessary and would create "a strong pull for waves of illegal migration". It is not known how many illegal immigrants are in the UK, with estimates varying widely from 300,000 to 900,000. We would notice it …

The Canadian government has put forward a bill to make medically-assisted death available to people who are not terminally ill.
