Welcoming a recent Northern Provincial Council resolution calling for the UN to investigate the crime of genocide against Tamils in Sri Lanka, Northern Provincial Councillor M K Sivajilingam, called on Tamil parties, Tamil Nadu and the Tamil diaspora to bring about change in the international community to provide justice.
Mr Sivajalingam further added,
“Whilst the new government came to power wanting to put behind the international accountability mechanism, the Tamil nation is demanding justice. The UN’s report should be submitted in March.”
“The resolution tabled by the chief minister that it was a genocide that occurred in Sri Lanka was passed with everyone’s support. This historically important resolution states that the Tamil Nations wants justice and we are elated about this,” he said.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
