  • Speech by H.E Mahinda Rajapaksa, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka
    Address by Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksa Prime Minister of Sri Lanka at the Inauguration of the 5th Council of Ministers of the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation (IOR-ARC) 26th August 2004 Colombo, SRI LANKA Hon. Ministers Excellencies, Delegates to the 5th Meeting of the Council of Ministers Ladies & Gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to inaugurate the 5th Meeting of the Council of ministers of the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation. Let me first of all join with Hon. Lakshman Kadirgamar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka, in extending to all of you a very warm welcome to Sri Lanka. This welcome, in the long-standing tradition of our island nation, is extended to all those who touch our shores from countries around the Indian Ocean. I wish you an enjoyable stay in Sri Lanka and a fruitful outcome of your meeting. The Indian Ocean Rim forms a distinctive geographical area comprising the coastal States bordering the Indian Ocean. It is a region of much diversity in terms of culture, race, religion and economic development as well as strategic interest. This area links the shores of three distinct continents of the world, Africa, Asia and Australia. In ancient times, the Indian Ocean was the hub of international trade when merchants and seafarers from Arabia on the western shores and from China in the Pacific Ocean traversed and dominated the trans-Indian ocean trade. Yet, our ocean waters remained unsullied by the degrading slave trade in the old days. The message of compassion and loving kindness was spread across this region by one of the greatest sons of South Asia, the Buddha, promoting the concept of peaceful coexistence and the path to happiness and contentment.

    CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (CSIS) A YEAR AFTER THE CIVIL WAR: CHARTING SRI LANKA’S FUTURE WELCOME AND MODERATOR: TERESITA SCHAFFER, DIRECTOR, SOUTH ASIA PROGRAM, CSIS SPEAKER: GAMINI LAKSHMAN PEIRIS, MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKA TUESDAY, MAY 25, 2010 2:30 P.M. WASHINGTON, D.C. Transcript by Federal News Service Washington, D.C. TERESITA SCHAFFER: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you very much for joining us. Those of you have been here before know that this is the CSIS South Asia Program and I’m Tesi Schaffer, the director. And you probably also know that I had the great pleasure of being U.S. ambassador in Sri Lanka from 1992 to 1995. And one of the particular pleasures of that job was my association with Professor G.L. Peiris in several different capacities during that time, initially as vice chancellor of Colombo University and a distinguished law professor – one of, I think it’s two, former Rhodes scholars in Sri Lanka – and subsequently, after he joined politics, as minister initially for constitutional affairs and then for commerce in the government that was headed, at the time, by Chandrika Kumaratunga. Professor Peiris, inside and outside of government, has always brought great intellectual distinction to what he has done. He was one of the architects of Chandrika Kumaratunga’s constitutional proposals at the time that the effort was on to negotiate a peace with the LTTE. We are now meeting at a very different time. The war was ultimately won on the battlefield rather than resolved at the negotiating table.

  • The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines
    The Executive Survey General Information and Guidelines Dear Country Expert, In this section, we distinguish between the head of state (HOS) and the head of government (HOG). • The Head of State (HOS) is an individual or collective body that serves as the chief public representative of the country; his or her function could be purely ceremonial. • The Head of Government (HOG) is the chief officer(s) of the executive branch of government; the HOG may also be HOS, in which case the executive survey only pertains to the HOS. • The executive survey applies to the person who effectively holds these positions in practice. • The HOS/HOG pair will always include the effective ruler of the country, even if for a period this is the commander of foreign occupying forces. • The HOS and/or HOG must rule over a significant part of the country’s territory. • The HOS and/or HOG must be a resident of the country — governments in exile are not listed. • By implication, if you are considering a semi-sovereign territory, such as a colony or an annexed territory, the HOS and/or HOG will be a person located in the territory in question, not in the capital of the colonizing/annexing country. • Only HOSs and/or HOGs who stay in power for 100 consecutive days or more will be included in the surveys. • A country may go without a HOG but there will be no period listed with only a HOG and no HOS. • If a HOG also becomes HOS (interim or full), s/he is moved to the HOS list and removed from the HOG list for the duration of their tenure.

  • Thabani Thwala 0007581D Master of Arts (History
    The Politics of Placing Princes in Historical and Contemporary Swaziland Thabani Thwala 0007581d Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts (History) of the University of Witwatersrand Supervisor: Professor Bonner Johannesburg 2013 1 Chapter 1: Introduction This research report is an exercise which seeks to understand centre-regional disputes, which are now nearly two centuries old, between the Swazi royal house, and the subordinate chiefdoms of the Magagula, Tfwala, Mabuza, all located in central Swaziland, and the Fakudze of Macetjeni in the Lubombo region. It seeks to investigate what has become an increasingly critical and controversial issue in Swazi society and Swazi politics: the relationship between princes and chiefs. It will also highlight the central importance of history, or at least historical assertion, in the assumption of political power in earlier and contemporary Swaziland. These issues have attracted some attention from scholars but not nearly as much as they deserve. Centre-regional relations between kings and subordinate chiefs are on the whole neglected in Swazi historiography. This thesis seeks to correct this anomaly by exploring local, regional, and national dynamics which strained the relationship between centre and region, and to show how the former has grappled with the problem of recalcitrant chiefs in a bid to retain its power position through suppression of the latter who have constantly sought to reclaim lost autonomy. The present history of Swaziland is one that glorifies the Dlamini dynasty and projects a one-sided picture of historical events in Swaziland. For instance, it is contended that Swaziland is a homogenous, democratic and peaceful country.
