Sri Lanka- Background briefing- Issue No.5 & 6 (25.06-25.07.1986)
The world has yet to wake up to the fact that in the little island of Sri Lanka, there is a little area that has ceased to be under the island government's control. That area is the northern most portion called Jaffna Peninsula. In a country with a 74% Sinhala Population, the Jaffna Penninsula is today almost 100% Tamil. It occupies a position that is unique in the civilized world. There is no police force, and the courts of law are dormant. Lawyers get no briefs, the judges no work. The government writ does no longer prevail; the government appointed civil administration functions only to the extent that it is permitted to exercise authority by Tamil Liberation forces.
