  • 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.

Preface For several years, Norway was involved in efforts to contribute to a peaceful solution to the conflict in Sri Lanka. After the military victory by the Sri Lankan army over the Tamil Tigers (LTTE) in May 2009, Norway no longer had a role to play. This evaluation of Norwegian peace efforts in Sri Lanka was commissioned mainly for the purpose of informing international peace efforts. The evaluation team was asked to analyze Norway’s role as a peace facilitator in Sri Lanka 1997 – 2009, in light of the knowledge and opportunities available at the time.

  • The Pardon in the Mirusuvil Massacre: Sri Lanka's Elusive
    A Comment The Pardon in the Mirusuvil Massacre: Sri Lanka’s Elusive Quest for Justice Bhavani Fonseka & Nipunika Rajakaruna Centre for Policy Alternatives April 2020 On 26th March 2020, President Gotabaya Rajapaksa pardoned former Army Staff Sergeant R. M. Sunil Rathnayake, a convicted death row prisoner. The pardon was met with mixed reactions in Sri Lanka. At one end of the spectrum was concern and condemnation for pardoning a convicted criminal while others welcomed the pardon and for releasing a former military person. Notable is the timing of the pardon. The pardon was granted when Sri Lanka is facing an unprecedented public health emergency with Covid-19 and with focus primarily on dealing with the response and related issues. This is also in a context when civil society1 has called for urgent prison reforms and the Government has set up a committee2 to examine how to address the overcrowding and other concerns in the prisons in Sri Lanka, creating the expectation that cases involving inmates for lesser crimes or unable to pay bail will be given due attention. It was in this midst, when attempts are seemingly made to address prison reforms, that President Rajapaksa chose to keep to his earlier pledge3 and pardon a convicted criminal. Concern with the granting of the pardon is compounded with the numerous challenges confronting the justice system with very few cases linked to the wartime violations having 1 'Letter On Prison Reforms In The Wake Of COVID19' <https://www.cpalanka.org/letter-on-prison-reforms-in-the-wake-of- covid19/> accessed 31 March 2020.
