Tamil diaspora groups urge Ottawa to bring Sri Lanka officials to international tribunals
Tamil diaspora groups are praising Ottawa’s sanctions on Sri Lanka officials, while asking Canada to bring that country to international tribunals.
The pair oversaw the victory of Sri Lanka’s majority Sinhalese population over Tamil groups, which came after widespread bloodshed and massacres. “The sanctions come in the backdrop of tangible and meaningful progress made by the government in addressing issues of accountability and reconciliation, and in strengthening the country’s democratic and governance structures,” Jhan said.
“We will continue to collaborate alongside international partners, including through relevant multilateral bodies to advocate for human rights and accountability in Sri Lanka.”
