De Alwis iv EDITOR’S NOTE The JSA is proud to deviate from its traditional publication, the ‘Newsletter’ that featured only a mix of judge authored articles. In this journal we present a diverse selection of stimulating articles from judicial officers as well as non judicial scholars. We believe that this journal would be a novel site for compelling exploration of law in all aspects and we hope that you will find the content extremely enlightening. This journal is a result of a team work and the initiative and hard work of each member of that team was so instrumental in shaping its quality. At this juncture we are deeply indebted to Hon. Ruwan Fernando Director, Judges Institute for graciously volunteering to serve Initiative and hard work as a resource person. It is due to his guidance and support that we were able to make this journal a success. I must thank all those who have sent volunteer submissions within a limited period of time amidst their busy work schedules. Mrs.Anoma Dissanayake Chairman, National Child Protection Authority deserves our sincere gratitude for her generosity for coming forward to help us financially to get this tiresome work done. Finally I wish to thank our readers, without whose comments, criticisms, attention and analysis our endeavors would not have been a success. While extending well wishes to the incoming editorial board, I earnestly hope that they too will strive to honour the initiatives that we have taken to enhance the knowledge base of judicial officers. v vi THE JUDICIAL SERVICE ASSOCIATION OF SRI LANKA MODERN DAY CONTRACTING; e-COmmeRCE, m-CASH & WHAT-neXT? Justice Saleem Marsoof, P.C. Judge of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka At first man was illiterate; long thereafter, but before the invention of paper, he became literate. In recent times man has become e-literate. The electronic revolution has transformed the way man does business and has brought about a great transformation in the law.1 This transformation has given birth to what we call ‘e-commerce’, which includes ‘m-commerce’, which is an off-shoot of ‘e-commerce’ that was propelled by the advent of user friendly smart phones and solutions such as eZ Cash. These phenomena resulted from the combination of the Internet with computers, mobile phones and other modern devices which help people to interact and do business in a way that could not have even been imagined a century or two ago. Technology and the way people interact and do business transactions have changed so rapidly in recent times that no one can answer the question: what next? ‘e-commerce’ or “electronic commerce”, has been defined as “the buying and selling of goods and services on the Internet, especially the World Wide Web”2, which makes possible “the paperless exchange of business information using electronic data interchange (EDI), e-mail, electronic bulletin boards, fax transmissions, and electronic funds transfer.”3 While these definitions emanate from cyberspace, it has been suggested that “the rapid changes in the Internet and continuously evolving technologies have made it not only unrealistic but pointless to reach a permanent definition of e-commerce.”4 1.

Juszczyk, Cybercommerce Reframing: The End of Business Purpose Engineering? (2002) 19 1 JSA LAW JOURNAL The advent of electronic and e-business contracts has generally left the global as well as national legal systems struggling to keep up and gasping for breath. In much the same way as those who do business through electronic and e-business contracts have progressively developed new business techniques, procedures and rules, the legal systems of most nations had to work overtime to develop new laws or adapt existing laws to fit new settings, but it is not always clear as to how these laws will apply. Contract law can and does provide most of, but not all, the solutions to meet the challenges posed by electronic commerce. One of the major problems faced by ‘e-commerce’ was that the ease at which transactions could be entered into through the electronic media was not extended to the recognition and enforcement of such transactions. In Sri Lanka, as well as elsewhere in the world, legislation had to be enacted to facilitate this process and to meet the challenges posed by this development in the manner of doing business. For instance, the Evidence (Special Provisions) Act of 1995,5 Information and Communication Technology Act of 2003,6 the Payment and Settlement Systems Act of 2005,7 the Electronic Transactions Act of 20068 the Payment Devices Frauds Act of 20069 and the Computer Crimes Act of 200710 were enacted as part of the process of transforming the law to meet the challenges posed by this change.11 Apart from becoming familiar with the provisions of the relevant laws, present day business men, lawyers, judges and policy makers must also be mindful of international conventions12 and model laws,13 which could be of value in grappling with some of the problems posed by these developments. The requirements of ‘writing’ and ‘signature’ The Electronic Transactions Act of 200614 was enacted with the objective of facilitating domestic and international e-commerce.15 The provisions of the Act have in particular focused on removing difficulties that could arise from the traditional legal requirements of ‘writing’ and ‘signature’ in the context of e-commerce. The main obstacle in regard to the proof and enforcement of an electronic transaction was the requirement that certain contracts must be made in writing or should be in writing and signed by the parties 5.

  • Islamaphobia and Anti-Muslim Hate in Sri Lanka Note
    Islamaphobia and anti-Muslim hate in Sri Lanka Note: The structure of this submission follows the guiding questions raised in the concept note for the online consultation. It provides a synopsis of concepts and a snap shot of issues and includes a number of references to more detailed information and analysis. Definitions Islamaphobia is used in Sri Lanka mainly by Muslim commentators, scholars, a few Islamic scholars and a handful of non-Muslim intellectuals to describe the hatred and fear of Islam by non-Muslims and/or as one of the root causes of anti-Muslim hatred. It is often used in online platforms though not limited to it. Anti- Muslim hate is used to refer to hate campaigns and messaging by non-Muslims targeting Muslims. There is more usage of the term anti-Muslim hate than Islamaphobia and the latter is at times used to describe the former. Historical/political context affecting usage of terms: There are number of factors that influence and affect the usage of these terms. They include: a) Muslim’s historical ethnic claims – pre-independence Muslim political representatives fearing they would be a ‘minority within a minority’ fought hard to establish their own ethnic identity. The British enabled this through a problematic and weak classification titled ‘Moor’ (Ceylon and Coastal). There were also other Muslim ethnic groups such as the Malays. Based on weak ethnic markers (Arab origin, distinct culture) and as they were conversant in both local languages (Tamil and Sinhalese), Muslims became less ethnically distinctive and more commonly identified as a religious group, or as ‘Muslims.’ Nevertheless, claiming an identity distinct from the two larger ethnic groups and seeking recognition as a separate group remains critically important to community representatives and leaders.1 Consequentially, both from outside and inside the community hate, attacks and violence are framed as against ‘Muslims’ rather than ‘Islam’ and renders to the more frequent reference of ‘anti-Muslim’ violence/hate/attacks over Islamaphobia.
