  • Decision and Reasons
    Decision and Reasons Referred application SRI LANKA IAA reference: IAA16/00490 Date and time of decision: 06 September 2016 15:52:29 Mark Oakman, Reviewer Decision The IAA affirms the decision not to grant the referred applicant a protection visa. Any references appearing in square brackets indicate that information has been omitted from this decision pursuant to section 473EC(2) of the Migration Act 1958 and replaced with generic information which does not allow the identification of a referred applicant, or their relative or other dependant. Background to the review Visa application 1. The referred applicant (the applicant) claims to be a Tamil of the Hindu faith from Trincomalee, Eastern Province, Sri Lanka. He arrived in Australia [in] September 2012 and he lodged an application for a Safe Haven Enterprise visa (SHEV) (XE-790) [in] December 2015. [In] July 2016 a delegate of the Minister for Immigration and Border Protection (the delegate) refused the visa. Information before the IAA 2. I have had regard to the material referred by the Secretary under s.473CB of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act). 3. On 30 August 2016 the IAA received a submission and further information from the applicant’s representative. To the extent the submission discusses evidence, including country information, which was before the delegate and responds to the delegate’s decision based on that material, I consider this does not constitute new information and I have had regard to it. 4. Part of the further information consists of references to reports and news articles not before the delegate and is new information.

  • Chapter-V India-Sri Lanka Bilateral
    India-Sri Lanka Bilateral Relations in the Post-Civil War Years: Security Concerns before New Delhi Chapter-V India-Sri Lanka Bilateral Relations in the Post-Civil War Years: Security Concerns before New Delhi Map-4: India and Sri Lanka Geographical proximity Page | 139 India-Sri Lanka Bilateral Relations in the Post-Civil War Years: Security Concerns before New Delhi Chapter-V India-Sri Lanka Bilateral Relations in the Post-Civil War Years: Security Concerns before New Delhi Introduction The National question in the state of Sri Lanka, even in the wake of the decline of the LTTE, carried a sense of uncertainty and suspicion, and even a feasible struggle of concern in the otherwise steady and durable multi-layered nexus between New Delhi and Colombo (Wedagedara, 2013: 66). In this section, I attempted to focus on the multi-agent dimensions1 originated from the positional consideration and also seek to identify three significant dimensions and the role of one extra-regional power in Indo-Sri Lankan mutual cooperation i.e. the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL), the Government of India (GoI), Indian state of Tamil Nadu (TN), and the role of extra-regional power i.e. China. The India and Sri Lankan mutual commercial relations evolved at an extraordinary degree during the post-civil war reconstruction (2009-2017). All over the years, Colombo had turned out to be a significant commercial and financial partner for New Delhi. With its strategic position in the Indian Ocean, it bears an important element of the security for India (Yogasundram, 2009: 274). As India’s exportation sustained to blossom, the routes of Indian Ocean would have grown significance.
