Deteriorating Situation in Sri Lanka - Podcast with Walter Kälin
Product on 4 Jan 2008
Deteriorating Situation in Sri Lanka
JANUARY 04, 2008 — Walter Kälin discusses his recent mission to Sri Lanka and the displacement situation in the country with U.N. Radio.U.N. RADIO: I noticed that you sort of identified one or two major reasons, or predominant concerns among the IDPs. The chief of which seems to be physical security.
WALTER KÄLIN: Exactly. Wherever I went internally displaced persons seem very very insecure for very good reasons. Whereever I went, women have been killed, have been abducted, disappeared, or have been detained a long time without prospects of being released. It’s these kinds of human rights violations, and they are committed from all sides, and I have to say they cause a lot of anxiety and insecurity among the internally displaced persons. I went to camps where people told me how during the night men coming to the camps very often being very violent, abducting people. There are in addition still ongoing acts of violence committed by the Tamil insurgents, bombs that are exploding. And then very heavy handed reactions by the security forces – people being rounded up, detained. And all of this really creates a pervasive sense of insecurity and fear.
U.N. RADIO: Now in your report you say that the government has begun to take some efforts including recruiting local and Tamil speaking civilian police. To what extent has that helped the situation?
WALTER KÄLIN: These confidence building measures have really just started. The government, in cooperation with the international community, in particular with UNHCR, has developed what I consider to be, quite a good plan at confidence building measures. But they are just being implemented now; it’s too early to see a real impact. Nevertheless, that’s the only way ahead to rebuild confidence, to win the hearts and minds of these people and not to treat them as suspects because they had been under Tamil control for quite a long time.

Renewed fighting between Sri Lankan government forces and the insurgent Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, or Tamil Tigers, has reportedly taken more than one-hundred lives since the beginning of this year.

Sri Lanka at 60: The Failure of the Peace Process and Its Implications
See http://www.asiasociety.org/resources/sri_lanka_021208.html NEW YORK, Feb. 12, 2008 - Overshadowing Sri Lanka's 60th anniversary is another, more disconcerting milestone: a quarter-century of violence and protracted conflict, which has claimed thousands of lives and caused immense economic damage. Judging by the recent escalation of violence, many fear that the country is teetering once again on the brink of full-scale war.
In collaboration with the South Asian Journalists Association (SAJA), Asia Society hosted an in-depth discussion of this emotionally-charged conflict. Sharing their perspectives, speakers Asoka Bandarage, Professor at Georgetown University; Ahilan Kadirgamar, Spokesperson for Sri Lanka Democracy Forum; and Rajiva Wijesinha, Secretary General, Secretariat for Coordinating the Peace Process, assess the ramifications of the withdrawal from the ceasefire agreement, the implications for the APRC Proposals and political devolution, human rights violations, and opportunities for rebuilding trust where so little currently exists.
The discussion was moderated by V.V. Ganeshananthan, a journalist and fiction writer whose first novel, Love Marriage, will be published by Random House in April 2008. |
