We, the editorial committee of the JSA 2016, take this opportunity with utmost pleasure and privilege to present the Fourth Edition of the JSA Law Journal. This Journal is a result of hard work and dedication of the Editorial Committee and those who contribute with articles and ideas to shape its identity. The enthusiasm among the members to pen down articles is truly evident by the number of articles by members included in this issue, which deals with variety of subjects from the rights of transgenders to hostile witnesses, and laws relating to the protection of elephants. Further, this volume includes several articles from eminent scholars and dedicated legal practioners on timely important legal issues such as rights of disabled, combating sexual offences and copy rights violation in music industry. Hence we hope this edition would be a beacon of knowledge for the academics, practioners and jurists. We are deeply indebted to the previous editors Mr. Ranga Dissanayake, Mr. Pamila Rathnayake and Mr. Anushka Senevirathna for paving the way for us by setting the standard for the journal. We also express our deepest gratitude to Hon. Ruwan Fernando, Director of Sri Lanka Judges’ Institute and High Court Judge of Colombo for the guidance. We are much obliged to Mr. Mahie Wijeweera, District Judge of Tangalle who generously devoted his time by providing us with his guidance and efforts in making this issue a success. We extend our sincere gratitude to Mr. Upul Shantha Sannasgala of Sanghinda Publishers who undertook and gave the fullest cooperation in the publication of the journal. Such gratitude should be extended to Ms. Eroshinee Handaragama, Ms. Amila Sandamali Kannangara and Mr. Lalith Senevirathne who performed a wonderful job by designing the journal, and the cover page. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all the authors who despite their busy schedules found time to engage in academic writing and contributed articles to enhance the quality of the journal. Further we must place our deep gratitude on record to Mr. Ranga Dissanayake, Secretary of JSA who supported, guided and encouraged us in this endeavor. Finally, we like to thank the membership of JSA and look forward to comments, criticism and analysis of this effort, for this tradition to be carried on in years to come. vi THE JUDICIAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF SRI LANKA JUSTICE NIMAL GAMINI AMARATUNGA MEMORIAL AWARD - 2016 Judicial Service Association has decided to select the best article in the ‘Judicial Service Association Law Journal’ and present an Award to the Writer, in recognition of valuable service its members render by submitting articles each year. Furthermore, JSA, filled with deep gratitude and appreciation of the enormous service rendered by one of the eternal legal legends of our time, late Justice Nimal Gamini Amaratunga, has decided to name the ‘Best Article Award’, in honor of his Lordship. His Lordship Justice Amaratunga does not need special introduction. Nonetheless, we consider it is our duty to write this brief tribute in his memory. His Lordship, hailed from Kurunegala, was called to the Bar as an Advocate in 1972, having obtained a Bachelor of Laws Degree in 1970 from University of Colombo. His Lordship joined the Attorney General’s Department in 1978 where he excelled as a Law Officer. His Lordship was a holder of two Master of Laws, one on the Law of Evidence from University of Colombo and the other on International Law and Shipping Law from the prestigious United Nations International Maritime Institute in Malta, where his lordship received an award for producing the most outstanding essay. To the surprise of many of his colleagues, in January 1994, his lordship accepted an appointment as a judge of the High Court, though his future in the Department appeared extremely colorful. His Lordship has served as a High Court Judge in many parts of the country before appointed as a judge of the Court of Appeal in January 2001 and subsequently elevated to the apex court of the country in January 2005. Many of us, as junior judges, are personally aware of His Lordship’s extensive knowledge, competence and dedication. It is no exaggeration to say that there was hardly anything an vii JSA LAW JOURNAL - VOL IV accused appellant was able to urge in the Appellate Courts against the judgments. Many a judgments delivered by Justice Amarathunga as a superior court judge bear ample testimony to his commitment, thoroughness and the extensive knowledge of the law. Justice Amaratunga was always conscious of the fact that the counsel before him was only discharging their professional duties and that they were entitled to a hearing, however weak their cases may be. Always courteous and patient His Lordship never refused a hearing and treated both juniors and seniors alike. In a controversial matter, where remand order granted by Chief Magistrate of Colombo was challenged in the Court of Appeal, the respondent made clear he does not wish Justice Amaratunga to be one of the judges in his case, for obvious reasons. Justice Nimal Gamini Amaratunga showing his impartiality, integrity and disinterestedness declared that, “if any litigant does not want Justice Gamini Amaratunga to hear and decide a case, it is not the desire of Justice Gamini Amaratunga to hear and decide against the wishes of the litigant.” He is clearly one of the greatest judges of our country who cannot be forgotten ever. His judgments continue to have an influence on the life of the common man in the country. We live in a time of change where people expect judges to help society to meet the challenges of change. I would like to conclude this brief tribute by reproducing following excerpts of Holy Sonnets: Death be not Proud, by John Donne; “Death, be not proud, though some have called thee Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so One short sleep past, we wake eternally and death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die” Finally, as Lord Buddha noted, only inescapable fact in human existence is impermanence. Death is described as one of the five aspects of impermanence, which none can escape until one attains enlightenment.

  • Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Volume 2
    Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Edited by Asanga Welikala Volume 2 18 Failure of Quasi-Gaullist Presidentialism in Sri Lanka Suri Ratnapala Constitutional Choices Sri Lanka’s Constitution combines a presidential system selectively borrowed from the Gaullist Constitution of France with a system of proportional representation in Parliament. The scheme of proportional representation replaced the ‘first past the post’ elections of the independence constitution and of the first republican constitution of 1972. It is strongly favoured by minority parties and several minor parties that owe their very existence to proportional representation. The elective executive presidency, at least initially, enjoyed substantial minority support as the president is directly elected by a national electorate, making it hard for a candidate to win without minority support. (Sri Lanka’s ethnic minorities constitute about 25 per cent of the population.) However, there is a growing national consensus that the quasi-Gaullist experiment has failed. All major political parties have called for its replacement while in opposition although in government, they are invariably seduced to silence by the fruits of office. Assuming that there is political will and ability to change the system, what alternative model should the nation embrace? Constitutions of nations in the modern era tend fall into four categories. 1.! Various forms of authoritarian government. These include absolute monarchies (emirates and sultanates of the Islamic world), personal dictatorships, oligarchies, theocracies (Iran) and single party rule (remaining real or nominal communist states). 2.! Parliamentary government based on the Westminster system with a largely ceremonial constitutional monarch or president. Most Western European countries, India, Japan, Israel and many former British colonies have this model with local variations.

  • Asia's Maritime Networks
    New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies 6, 2 (December, 2004): 63-94. ASIA’S MARITIME NETWORKS AND THE COLONIAL PUBLIC SPHERE, 1840-1920 MARK RAVINDER FROST1 National University of Singapore The idea that the sea unites rather than segregates territories and regions, through the linkages created by maritime networks, has been a feature of modern history writing since Fernand Braudel’s magnificent The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World. Braudel himself wrote that the sea was ‘the great divider, the obstacle that had to be overcome’.2 By the end of the nineteenth century, it must have seemed to many in Britain and its colonies in Asia that the sea was an obstacle that had been largely tamed by imperial endeavour and the new technologies it wielded. Steam navigation, underwater telegraphy and the Suez Canal functioned as the industrial arteries of the British Empire and the expanding world economy. Rather than the great ‘divider’, the sea had become the great unifier of British imperial possessions. Such mastery of the ocean space was as crucial a feature in the development of the British Empire as were its successful conquests on land and studies devoted to the means by which this dominance was achieved now form an important element in our understanding of European expansion. At the same time, this line of research signals a shift away from discussions of the colonial encounter that are limited largely to the territorial boundaries of modern nation-states. The development of improved communications across the Atlantic Ocean from 1685 to 1750, for instance, is now seen to have been of fundamental significance in the emergence of the First British Empire.

  • Chapter Iv Sri Lanka and the International System
    1 CHAPTER IV SRI LANKA AND THE INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM : THE UNP GOVERNMENTS In the system of sovereign states, individual states interact with other states and international organizations to protect and promote their national interests. As the issues and scope of the interests of different classes of states vary, so do the character and patterns of their interactions to preserve and promote them. Unlike the super powers whose national interests encompass the entire sovereign states system, the small states have a relatively limited range of interests as well as a relatively limited sphere of foreign policy activities. As a small state, Sri Lanka has a relatively small agenda of interests in the international arena and the sphere of its foreign policy activities is quite restricted in comparison to those of the super powers, or regional powers. The sphere of its foreign policy activities can be analytically separated into two levels : those in the South Asian regional system and those in the larger international system.1 In the South Asian regional system Sri Lanka has to treat India with due caution because of the existence of wide difference in their respective capabilities, yet try to maintain its sovereignty, freedom and integrity. In the international system apart from mitigating the pressures and pulls emanating from the international power structure, Sri Lanka has to promote its national interests to ensure its security, stability and status. Interactions of Sri Lanka to realize its national interests to a great extent depended upon the perceptions and world views of its ruling elites, which in its case are its heads of governments and their close associates.2 Although the foreign policy makers have enjoyed considerable freedom in taking initiatives in the making and conduct of foreign policy, their 2 freedom is subject to the constraints imposed by the domestic and international determinants of its foreign policy.

  • Tigers Tamed, but What Next?
    Tigers Tamed, but What Next? N Manoharan Introduction Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka turned violent since the late 1970s as radicalised Sri Lankan Tamil youth resorted to armed means. Belief in militancy and sympathy for militants gradually rose among the Tamils, especially after ethnic riots of 1983. With the massive ingress of Sri Lankan Tamil refugees after the 1983 riots, India could not “remain unaffected by the events.”1 New Delhi, in view of its national security interests and stability in the region, offered its good offices to resolve the conflict. The failure of various peace missions prompted India to enter into an accord with Sri Lanka in July 1987 “to establish peace and normalcy” in the Island.2 In a surprising turn of events, the Sri Lankan state turned against India and secretly aided the Liberation of Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) against the Indian Peace-keeping Force (IPKF).3 However, within a short span of the IPKF’s departure, ‘Eelam War–II’ broke out between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan security forces in June 1990. The new government under Chandrika Kumaratunga in 1994 seriously initiated talks with the LTTE based on comprehensive devolution proposals. The talks, however, broke down due to the LTTE’s obduracy. Gradually, Chandrika became convinced of the rightness of the “war-for-peace” programme after the security forces achieved some spectacular victories in 1995 and early 1996 that included wresting of Jaffna from the LTTE. But the government forces started facing reverses starting from July 1996. On 22 February 2002, with the Norwegian mediation, a ceasefire agreement (CFA) was signed between the government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) headed by Ranil Wickremasinghe and the LTTE.
