Report of the secretary-general's internal review panel on
United Nations action in Sri Lanka, 2012.
'Lead up to the final stages – 2002/2008
Over the past few decades, Sri Lanka’s history has been
marked by political, social and ethnic violence. Sri Lanka’s
21 million-strong population includes a large majority of
Sinhalese, as well as Tamils, Muslims, Burghers, Veddahs, and other
minority ethnic communities. In the 1970s and 1980s, tens of
thousands of people, many of them youths, were killed in political
violence and conflict. The Government introduced legislation which
limited the jurisdiction of courts to check abuses. From the late
1970s, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) had begun
fighting the Government with the aim of establishing the state of
Tamil Eelam in the north and east of Sri Lanka. The LTTE used
violence to silence other Tamil groups, and carried out suicide
bombings against military, political and civilian targets. During
these decades, Sri Lanka had one of the world’s highest rates
of disappearances by the State, as well as widespread cases of
unlawful killings and torture by both State and non-State
actors.'
