Tamil Eelam demand in International Law
[ TWG ] [ 04 Jan 2007 00:09 GMT ]
The UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (G.A Resolution 2200 of 1966) in Article 1 states: "All peoples have the right of self-determination. By virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development."
The Sri Lanka government has not simply been against but openly oppressive of the Tamil people, as a nation and its political, economic and ethno-cultural interest and advancement. As such the Sri Lanka Tamils have no state and are seeking to create their own sovereign state of Eelam in their own homelands based on their right to self-determination.

Stifling the aspirations of the Tamils
[The Morning Leader] [ 31 December 2006]
With great deference to the Sinhalese people many of whom I have found to be excellent hosts and good natured people, I feel Pirapaharan has spoken the truth with regard to the successive governments that governed this country since the 1920s

Senseless Words and Inappropriate Deeds
[Sabesan] [Melborne, Australia 07 August 2006]
In light of the history of Singhalese hegemony, bloodshed and
destruction,
it is incomprehensible that external forces are still inclined towards
the
Tamils being coerced to drop their arms and join hands with the
Singhalese
in the holy matrimony of a unified state. If democracy means one man
one
vote, then in a country where extreme nationalism is the proven mantra
for
gaining power, there is no place for a minority community.

Kebithigollewa Massacre
[The Tamil Mirror, Canada] [June 2006]
The international news media, after a long period of time, had commenced publication of details of the gory killings by the Army and their paramilitary groups in the Northeast. The Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) had finally come out openly against the Government, accusing it of covering up atrocities by the Army and the paramiltaries. International human right organizations like Amnesty International, have begun to question the Government of Sri Lanka. This certainly had stung the Sinhalese nationalists to some extent. What stung them most was the fact that the European Union and Japan, who are major donors, had passed strictures on the Government to the extent of threatening to cut off aid. This was the final straw. The extremists had to do something and, that too quick, to divert the focus of the European Union and Japan elsewhere. The result was the Kebethigollewa carnage.

Peace for Eelam Tamils in the new millennium
[TWG] [London 15.00 GMT 3rd March 1999]
My talk today in the Grand Committee Room of the House of Commons in
London, will be based on the premise that our inalienable right to freedom has
been so maligned by the black propaganda of the Sri Lankan government, that
I need to explain to you in about fifteen minutes, firstly the background
to our struggle and then our confidence that a negotiated peace settlement
will bring incalculable benefits to both the nations that share that land.
