    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2009 - 2014 Delegation for relations with South Asia 21.05.2012 REPORT on the Mission of the Bureau of the Delegation to Colombo, Trincomalee, Batticaloa (Sri Lanka) 30 April - 5 May 2012 via Malé (Maldives) 29 April 2012 by Ms. Jean Lambert, Chair of the Delegation ------------ 01/04/2011 PK/am 1/21 EN EN Introduction The Delegation for relations with South Asia had held, in Colombo, the 6th EP/Sri Lanka IPM in February 2011 in order to renew Interparliamentary talks under the current legislature. While this mission had, to a large extent, focused on the development of the North in a post-conflict setting, Members had the opportunity to learn about the Structured Dialogue, aimed at discussing legal and constitutional reforms; the interim recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission had also been an issue the EP Delegation was strongly interested in. One year after, and with the publication of the final report of the LLRC Commission having since taken place in late 2011, it was felt that examining developments on both these key issues would be necessary in order to ensure the appropriate political follow-up. As is customary, the EP Delegation combined its mission to Sri Lanka (30 April-5 May) with a short stop in Malé, capital of the Maldives on 29 April, in order to discuss, quasi exclusively, the controversy arising after the transfer of power on February 7th from former President Mohammed Nasheed to his Vice-President, Dr Mohammed Waheed, currently President of the country. Since this mission of the D-SAS was, from its inception, planned as a Bureau visit, only 3 Members participated in it, led by Ms Jean Lambert (Greens, UK), Chair of the Delegation.

  • Presidential Election – 2010 Interim Report -I
    24/2, 28th Lane, Off Flower Road, Colombo 07 Tel: 011 7920950, 0117920951Fax: 011 7920949 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.cpalanka.org Presidential Election – 2010 Interim Report -I 25th January 2010 Colombo Sri Lanka CMEV is deeply concerned that the integrity of the electoral process has been seriously challenged in the course of this Presidential Election campaign. In particular, CMEV wishes to record its grave concerns over the blatant disregard demonstrated for the Rule of Law, the authority of the Election Commissioner, allegations of irregularities in the conduct of postal voting, the intervention of serving military officers in the political campaign and the misuse of state resources and of state media organs. We also wish to reiterate our concern over the effective disenfranchisement of a large number of IDPs and over the problems previously highlighted in respect of voting identity documentation. Elections are the basic mechanism for choice and change in a functioning democracy and accordingly provide an illustration of the health of the institutions and processes of governance in the country. In this respect, what has transpired in this campaign – the first in a post war Sri Lanka in almost two decades- profiles break down and dysfunction underpinned by a zero-sum political culture impervious with seeming impunity to the norms and procedures of democratic governance. This election campaign has been characterized by persistent mudslinging, the abuse of state resources and the intensification of violence, resulting in 05 Murders and the use of firearms in 121 incidents – 14% of all incidents and 33.15% of all Major incidents - in this first election in the aftermath of the defeat of terrorism.
