Accord Sri Lanka project
Decades of war between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) have resulted in hardship, insecurity and death for many thousands of civilians.
Demanding sacrifice: war and negotiation in Sri Lanka (Accord issue 4, 1998) outlines the cycles of violent conflict that have blighted the country since 1983. It analyses negotiations and other peace initiatives that took place between 1993 and 1998 and summarizes basic concerns that must be confronted if a future peace settlement is to be achieved.
The publication features background articles and analysis on government peace strategies, constitutional reform, and popular Buddhist and Tamil aspirations.
It also contains key texts including letters exchanged between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, along with a chronology and profiles of key people and institutions involved in the conflict and peace process.
