Cosmetic Fixes: Sri Lanka’s Poor Progress on Human Rights
- BY TAYLOR DIBBERT-OCTOBER 31, 2014
Sri
Lanka’s twenty-six-year civil war was a brutal conflict that pitted the
Sri Lankan government forces against the Tamil Tigers, a group that
fought for a separate state in the country’s northern and eastern
provinces. Though the government defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009,
Sri Lanka’s post-war situation is headed in the wrong direction. Since
that time, the international community’s engagement with the island
nation has been variegated. Unfortunately, much of the criticism Sri
Lanka has received about ‘accountability’ for alleged atrocities committed during the civil war and an end to ongoing human rights abuses on the island has not made the situation any better.
