  • Emergency Rule and Authoritarianism in Republican Sri Lanka
    6 An Eager Embrace: Emergency Rule and Authoritarianism in Republican Sri Lanka Deepika Udagama Introduction Much of Sri Lanka’s post-independence period has seen governance under states of emergency. The invocation of the Public Security Ordinance (PSO)1 by successive governments was a common feature of political life and, indeed, an integral aspect of the political culture of the republic. Several generations of Sri Lankans have grown up and have been socialised into political and public life in an environment fashioned by states of exception replete with attendant symbols and imagery. Images of police with automatic weapons, military check-points, barbed wire, lengthy periods of detention (often administrative detention) mainly of the political ‘other’, the trauma of political violence and the ever- present sense of fear became the ‘normal’. The state of exception has become the norm in Sri Lanka from the 1970s onwards. The permanency of the state of exception was further consolidated when the Prevention of Terrorism (Temporary Provisions) Act, No. 48 of 1979 (PTA) was converted into a permanent law in 1982.2 Although not an emergency regulation, the PTA conferred extraordinary powers on the executive branch (e.g. powers of arrest and detention) to deal with what it recognised as acts of terrorism. That in combination with the ever-present emergency powers, which were sanctioned by the Constitution, provided a formidable legal framework to entrench the state of exception. The omnipotence of the executive presidency created by the second republican constitution (1978) amplified the potency of those exceptional powers. Sri Lanka had become the quintessential ‘National Security State’, the vestiges of which have not been shaken off even five The author wishes to thank Ms.

Mahinda Rajapaksa – Former President of Sri Lanka Dear Sirs, LTTE Fronts abusing their delisting from Terror List to create racial hatred and disharmony In 2015 November the present Government citing a gesture of reconciliation brought an extra ordinary gazette to delist 8 organizations declared as LTTE fronts by UNSC Resolution 1373 in April 2014 for supplying LTTE material support. Below are the delisted LTTE fronts. In all 16 organizations and over 400 individuals were declared LTTE fronts. What is important is that these entities and individuals were all living overseas and foreign governments had not investigated them for material support given that LTTE terrorists continues to be banned in their countries. Therefore, in spite of the GOSL delisting on a flimsy excuse of reconciliation the legal arguments used to ban them remain valid. Therefore, UNHRC should also be mindful of allowing lobbying by these groups inside the UN as their websites are clearly aiming for a separate state in Sri Lanka.
