    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKA S.C. (F/R) No. 362/2000 In the matter of an Application under Article 126 of the Constitution. Leader Publications (Pvt) Limited PETITIONER Vs. Ariya Rubasinghe, Director of Information and the Competent Authority, et al. RESPONDENTS ____________________________________________________ WRITTEN COMMENTS SUBMITTED BY ARTICLE 19, GLOBAL CAMPAIGN FOR FREE EXPRESSION _____________________________________________________ Toby Mendel Head of Law Programme ARTICLE 19 33 Islington High Street London N1 9LH Tel: (44 20) 7278 9292 Fax: (44 20) 7713 1356 email: [email protected] June 2000 1. Introduction This brief reviews national security and public order restrictions on freedom of expression and how such restrictions have been dealt with under both international and comparative law. In particular, this brief assesses Regulation 14 of the Emergency (Miscellaneous Provisions and Powers) Regulation, No. 1 of 2000 – and its application to Leader Publications (Pvt) Limited, as a result of a front page article in The Sunday Leader of 21 May 2000 headed “War in fantasy land - Palaly is not under attack” – in light of these international and comparative standards. Sri Lanka is formally bound to respect the guarantee of freedom of expression found at Article 19 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which Sri Lanka ratified in 1980. This brief analyses the implications of this guarantee in relation to national security and public order. The Constitution of Sri Lanka also guarantees freedom of expression at Article 14. The way superior courts in other States have struck a balance between the guarantee of freedom of expression, on the one hand, and national security and public order concerns, on the other, may assist the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka in interpreting Article 14 of the Constitution of Sri Lanka.

  • Srilanka Quotes Copy
    Guardian UK, May 15, 2008 By Bishop Desmond Tutu With a terrible record of torture and disappearances, Sri Lanka dosen’t deserve a seat on the UN Human Rights Council. It should be voted out. The systematic abuses by Sri Lankan government Forces are among the most serious imaginable. Reporters withour Borders for Press Freedom , May 29 th , 2008 Reporters without Borders is outraged by the murder of P. Devakumar, a television Reporter of Tamil origin, who was hacked to death as he was returning to his home outside the northern city of Jaffna. A friend who was with him was also killed in the attack. Stressing that the murder was just the latest in a series of killings of journalists in the troubled Jaffna Region, the Free Media Movement said condemnations and promises of investigations had no meaning “without the political will” to completer the investigation. “The repugnant impunity that aids and abets violence against journalists and media personnel must come to an end,” the FMM said. Daily Mirror , Dec 3 , 2008 The UN humanitarian Coordinator (HC) in Sri Lanka Neil Buhne has condemned the murder of a humanitarian worker in Batticaloa last week. A. Vigneswaran is the the third employee of the Norwegian Refugee Council to have been murdered. Telegraph UK , Dec 4, 2008 Behind the muzzled voices from a troubled Sri Lanka: The article reports as all information that comes out of the Sri Lanka conflict is inherently untrustworthy since it is provided only by the combatants both of whom have a long record of telling lies in the name of propaganda.
