“Sri Lanka Violation of International Laws Continues”
The Elders call to protect rights of Tamil Civilians
The Elders – a group of
eminent global leaders
brought together by
Nelson Mandela – have
made a direct appeal to
the President of Sri Lanka
to protect the rights of
civilians displaced. They
have written to President
Rajapaksa to say that they
are “deeply worried” about
the humanitarian situation
faced by the largely Tamil
civilian population who fled
fighting in the north of the
country, and warn that this
could squander hopes for
