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.
