2009.10.22
The war between Sri Lankan government and the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ended in May, 2009 through arguable usage of armed forces by the government. However, serious human rights violations have not been diminished in Sri Lanka. Given this concern, IMADR, together with other international and Japanese NGOs, submitted a joint letter to Mr. Katsuya Okada, the new foreign minister of Japan, to make the promotion and protection of human rights a central priority in Japan’s relations with Sri Lanka.
