    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2009 - 2014 Delegation for relations with South Asia 21.05.2012 REPORT on the Mission of the Bureau of the Delegation to Colombo, Trincomalee, Batticaloa (Sri Lanka) 30 April - 5 May 2012 via Malé (Maldives) 29 April 2012 by Ms. Jean Lambert, Chair of the Delegation ------------ 01/04/2011 PK/am 1/21 EN EN Introduction The Delegation for relations with South Asia had held, in Colombo, the 6th EP/Sri Lanka IPM in February 2011 in order to renew Interparliamentary talks under the current legislature. While this mission had, to a large extent, focused on the development of the North in a post-conflict setting, Members had the opportunity to learn about the Structured Dialogue, aimed at discussing legal and constitutional reforms; the interim recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission had also been an issue the EP Delegation was strongly interested in. One year after, and with the publication of the final report of the LLRC Commission having since taken place in late 2011, it was felt that examining developments on both these key issues would be necessary in order to ensure the appropriate political follow-up. As is customary, the EP Delegation combined its mission to Sri Lanka (30 April-5 May) with a short stop in Malé, capital of the Maldives on 29 April, in order to discuss, quasi exclusively, the controversy arising after the transfer of power on February 7th from former President Mohammed Nasheed to his Vice-President, Dr Mohammed Waheed, currently President of the country. Since this mission of the D-SAS was, from its inception, planned as a Bureau visit, only 3 Members participated in it, led by Ms Jean Lambert (Greens, UK), Chair of the Delegation.

  • Sacralizing the Secular. the Ethno-Fundamentalist Movements Enzo Pace1
    http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7984.2017v16n36p403 Sacralizing the Secular. The Ethno-fundamentalist movements Enzo Pace1 Abstract Religious fundamentalist movements regard the secular state as an enemy because it claims to codify its power as if God did not exist. Those movements consider their religion the repository of absolute truth, the ultimate source legitimizing human laws. Therefore, although they are post- secular, at the same time they endeavor to transform religious principles into political agendas. Indeed, militants often act in accordance with political objectives in the attempt to assert the primacy of their own faith over that of others. They move within contemporary societies in the name of a radical political theology. The main arguments based on two case studies: Bodu Bala Sena in Sri Lanka and the movements for the Hindutva in India. Keywords: Fundamentalism. Ethno-nationalism. Secular state. Introduction This article contains some reflections on the links between secularization, the secular state and fundamentalism. Religious fundamentalist movements, which act on behalf and in defense of an absolute transcendent truth, regard the secular state as an enemy because it claims to codify its power etsi Deus non daretur2, that is, independently of any religious legitimation. Those movements consider their religion the repository of absolute truth, the ultimate source legitimizing human laws. Hence the paradox of their beliefs 1 Professor de Sociologia e Sociologia da Religião na Universidade de Pádua (Itália), onde dirige o departamento de sociologia (DELETE).
