  • The Left and the 1972 Constitution: Marxism and State Power
    ! 8 The Left and the 1972 Constitution: Marxism and State Power g Kumar David ! ! The drafting of the 1972 Republican Constitution was dominated by the larger than life figure of Dr Colvin R. de Silva (hereafter Colvin), renowned lawyer and brilliant orator, neither of which counts for much for the purposes of this chapter. Colvin was also co-leader with Dr N.M. Perera (hereafter NM) of the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP), and that is the heart of the matter. Although it was known, rather proudly till recently in the party, as ‘Colvin’s Constitution,’ this terminology is emblematic; no, not just a Colvin phenomenon,1 it was a constitution to which the left parties, that is the LSSP and the Communist Party (CP), were inextricably bound. They cannot separate themselves from its conception, gestation and birth; it was theirs as much as it was the child of Mrs Bandaranaike. Neither can the left wholly brush aside the charge that its brainchild facilitated, to a degree, the enactment of a successor, the 1978 J.R. Jayewardene (hereafter JR) Constitution, which iniquity has yet to be exorcised a quarter of a century later. However, even sans this predecessor but with his 5/6th parliamentary majority, JR who had long been committed to a presidential system would in any case have enacted much the same constitution. But overt politicisation, dismantling of checks and balances, and the alienation of the Tamil minority afforded JR a useful platform to launch out from. The relationship of one constitution to the other is not my subject; my task is the affiliation of the LSSP-CP, their avowed Marxism, and the strategic thinking of the leaders to a constitution that can, at least in hindsight, be euphemistically described as controversial.

  • 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.

It depends upon the conduct ofthe people that constitute the nation. We must recognize that the country does not mean just the lifeless soil around us. The country consists ofa conglomeration ofpeople and it is what they make ofit. To rectify the world and put it on proper path, we have to first rec­ tify ourselves and our conduct.... At the present time, when we see all over the country confusion, fear and anxiety, each one in every home must con­ ., tribute his share ofcool, calm love to suppress the anger and fury. No governmental authority can sup­ press it as effectively and as quickly as you can by love and brotherliness.

Using statistical and historical analyses, this study examines patterns of election-related violence in the war-torn, ethnically divided context of Sri Lanka. This study shows that electoral violence in Sri Lanka is more often the result of inter- party and intra-ethnic competition than it is the result of inter-ethnic rivalries. Since most Sri Lankan districts are ethnically homogeneous and because the Sinhalese constitute the vast majority of the population, most electoral competition occurs between rival Sinhalese parties. Specifically, this dissertation demonstrates the significance of inter-party competition within one ethnic group by showing that there was generally more violence in areas where the vote differences between the top two contenders were smallest, even when both were from the same ethnic group.

  • The Judiciary Under the 1978 Constitution
    3 The Judiciary under the 1978 Constitution Nihal Jayawickrama The judiciary under the 1978 Constitution has to be assessed by reference to the constitutional framework within which it functioned, the period that preceded it, and the contemporary international standards. This chapter focuses on the superior courts of Sri Lanka; in particular, the Supreme Court. Judicial Independence At the core of the concept of judicial independence is the theory of the separation of powers: the judiciary, one of three basic and equal pillars in the modern democratic State, should function independently of the other two, the executive and the legislature. This is necessary because of the judiciary’s important role in relation to the other two branches. It ensures that the government and the administration are held to account for their actions. It ensures that laws are duly enacted by the legislature in conformity with the national constitution and, where appropriate, with regional and international treaties that form part of national law. To fulfil this role, and to ensure a completely free and unfettered exercise of its independent legal judgment, the judiciary must be free from inappropriate connections with, and influences by, the other two branches of government. Judicial independence thus serves as the guarantee of impartiality, and is a fundamental precondition for judicial integrity. It is, in essence, the right enjoyed by people when they invoke the jurisdiction of the courts seeking and expecting justice. It is a pre-requisite to the rule of law, and a fundamental guarantee of a fair trial. It is not a privilege accorded to the judiciary, or enjoyed by judges.

Roshani M. Gunewardene* The concept of one state's intervention in another state's inter- nal affairs by invitation has been recognized in international law in modem times. It is the nature of the invitation to intervene, how- ever, that indicates whether or not the intervention is legitimate. The Indian military occupation in the northeastern part of Sri Lanka at the "invitation" of the Sri Lankan government is an example of an intervention resulting from a covertly orchestrated invitation co- erced by India. This Article analyzes the facts and circumstances that led to the Indian peace keeping force's intervention in Sri Lanka's ethnic civil war, specifically how political, social, and economic pres- sures may have forced the Sri Lankan government to "invite" the Indian intervention.
