India's Peace and War [TamilNet, Wednesday, 20 February 2008, 01:24 GMT] The now defunct Ceasefire Agreement in Sri Lanka was mooted and shadow-managed by the BJP government, according to Indian journalist, M.R. Narayan Swamy. Wickramasinghe and Pirapaharan were aware of this top secret mission of India, supervised by Vajpayee's Advisor Brajesh Mishra, but not J.N.

The CFA signed in February 2002 was unilaterally withdrawn by the Sri Lanka government in January 2008.

Crisis-hit Sri Lanka on Tuesday reduced to 21 the minimum age at which women can go abroad for work and earn much-needed dollars for the bankrupt economy. Colombo imposed age restrictions on women working overseas in 2013 after a 17-year-old Sri Lankan nanny was beheaded in Saudi Arabia over the death of a child in her care. Following outrage over the execution, only women older than 23 were allowed to go abroad, while for Saudi Arabia the minimum age was set at 25. But with Sri Lanka in its worst economic crisis since independence, the government on Tuesday eased the rules, including for Saudi Arabia. ‘The cabinet of ministers approved the decision to…

Civil war haunts Sri Lanka again By Chris Morris BBC, Sri Lanka [nThe ceasefire declared in Sri Lanka between the government and the Tamil Tiger rebel movement has disappeared in all but name. Some 3,000 Tamil civilians fled from Batticaloa last month International mediation has floundered and fighting has flared up again in the north and east of the island, where the Tigers want to carve out a separate Tamil state. I have always liked Bullers Road. I used to live on a lane about halfway down. It is one of the few places in Colombo where you can still walk under a thick canopy of old mara and mayflower trees.

Diego Garcia's Hidden Role in Sri Lankan Politics By S.N. Amazing how the three vital factors regarding real estate came into play even in the plight of the Tamils -- location, location, and location. Diego Garcia?

Then again, if you knew of Diego Garcia, you are clearly in the slim minority, for the name Diego …

The best speech ever in court? Some say, yes!

A judge has ruled that the U.N. refugee agency unfairly punished one of its investigators for documenting a rape case in Sri Lanka a decade ago. U.N. Dispute Tribunal Judge Coral Shaw says former investigator Caroline Hunt-Matthes lost her job at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees due to retaliation and suffered other damages after she collected evidence in 2003 that an agency employee had raped a refugee in Sri Lanka. Wednesday’s twin rulings, which can be appealed, are critical of the U.N.’s accountability system, including its ethics office, and award Hunt-Matthes a year’s salary and benefits, plus $58,000 for her damages and suffer…

Navaneetham Pillai, Former HC for UNHRC sends us a kind robust message for Tamil Remembrance Day.

The United Nations released a report Wednesday saying Sri Lanka cannot rely on its own justice system and instead should use a special court to achieve accountability for violations that took place during the country's 26-year civil war. The recommendation came as part of a report on what the U.N. Human Rights office said were possible war crimes and crimes against humanity during the conflict that pitted government forces against rebels seeking independence for the nation's Tamil minority. The fighting killed up to 100,000 people, according to widely accepted estimates. Sri Lanka, the report said, should look to the way other countries have used international judges…
