Global Tamil Summit Raleigh 2025

The 2025 Summit will occur on July 5, 2025, at Raleigh Convention Center (500 S Salisbury St, Raleigh, NC) where the FetNA convention takes place. The goal of the summit is to bring the Global Tamil organizations together to mobilize and energize the Tamil diaspora to work toward wider Tamil genocide recognition, justice, self-determination, and Eelam Tamil sovereignty-based solution. The summit will get held from 1 PM to 3 PM EST.

https://tamilconferences.org/consensus/justice-for-sri-lankas-genocide-against-tamils/  A ground-truth-based new booklet, Justice for Sri Lanka’s Genocide Against Tamils, presents a compelling legal argument that the Sri Lankan state committed genocide against the Tamil people during the final stages of its 26-year war, which ended on May 18, 2009. Supported by a coalition of organizations in the USA and Canada, the booklet compiles extensive evidence and analysis to assert that Sri Lanka’s actions meet the stringent criteria of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention. It calls for international recognition, accountability, and support for Tamil self-determination as crucial steps toward healing decades of trauma and preventing future atrocities.

Text – H.Res.1230 – 118th Congress (2023-2024): Recognizing the hundreds of thousands of lives lost during Sri Lanka’s almost 30-year armed conflict, which ended 15 years ago on May 18, 2009, and ensuring nonrecurrence of past violence, including the Tamil Genocide, by supporting the right to self-determination of Eelam Tamil people and their call for an independence referendum for a lasting peaceful resolution. | Congress.gov | Library of Congress
