Australian Tamil Congress and the Global Tamil Forum

The Australian Tamil Congress and the Global Tamil Forum invite you to an event that comes at an important phase in the struggle for truth, justice and accountability in Sri Lanka. This international conference scheduled to take place in Sydney, Australia on Thursday 20 October 2011 will explore issues of human rights, equality and accountability in Sri Lanka.

The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) is taking place at the end of this month in Perth, Australia. As Sri Lanka hangs under mounting evidence of war crimes and defies international calls for an independent investigation into war crimes, Sri Lankan leaders are due to attend CHOGM in Perth to campaign for CHOGM 2013 to be held in their country.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has already stated that he is likely to boycott CHOGM 2013 if Sri Lanka was to host the event, given the country's appalling human rights record. Sri Lanka is also competing with Australia to host the 2018 Commonwealth Games. And while thousands continue to flee the island on boats towards Australia seeking asylum, many ask:

What is the real situation in Sri Lanka?

What is the role of the International Community, the Commonwealth and Australia in ensuring accountability in Sri Lanka?
