The UN Human Rights office and various officials have urged Sri Lanka to address the enforced disappearances of tens of thousands of individuals over the years. Calls for accountability and justice for the Tamil people following the 2009 massacre and the end of the armed conflict 15 years ago continue, with demands for sanctions on accused war criminals. Post-war repression in Sri Lanka is linked to impunity for crimes committed during the civil war, emphasizing the need for truth, justice, and accountability.
Today marks 15 years since the end of #SriLanka’s armed conflict. The UK remains committed to truth, justice, and accountability for all. @UKinSriLanka @tariqahmadbt @David_Cameron. Foreign Sec’s statement👇 https://t.co/bc8KOk4hKW

For many of my Tamil residents, the events of 15 years ago are still raw. 15 years since Mullivaikkal & the end of armed ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka, we must continue to push the Govt for Magnitsky style sanctions on accused Sri Lankan war criminals, as US & Canada already have. https://t.co/T9ScgNo2Ke
Remembering with sadness and anger the 2009 genocidal massacre of the #Tamil people of #SriLanka Justice has still not been served.
