Sri Lanka civil war

The U.N.'s human rights chief says it is "time for international action to ensure justice for international crimes."

The recent destruction of a memorial for Sri Lankan Tamils massacred during the civil war raises important, difficult, questions.

With the Rajapaksa brothers at the helm, majoritarian politics threatens to morph into militant nationalism in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan is perceived to be close to the Rajapaksa brothers despite being an ethnic Tamil.

Sri Lanka’s ethnic minority remains committed to both, but not one at the expense of the other.

The events of 39 years ago set the stage for Sri Lanka’s civil war – and still echo today.

More than a decade after the Mullivaikkal massacre, Tamils remain heavily discriminated against by a state that has yet to reckon with its violent past.

Nearly a decade after the civil war ended, war-affected provinces still lag behind the rest of the country economically.

Gotabaya Rajapaksa says he won’t recognized an agreement to investigate alleged war crimes

May 18 is an important reminder that while the country’s armed conflict may have ended, the search for elusive justice continues.

Western countries are less interested in pressuring Sri Lanka now that Rajapaksa is no longer in charge.
