Ahead of UN Human Rights Chief’s Visit to Sri Lanka, the Oakland Institute Calls for Action on Sri Lanka’s Human Rights Violations and Landgrabs
As the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk prepares to visit Sri Lanka from June 23-26, 2025, the Oakland Institute calls on the United Nations to address Sri Lanka government’s past and ongoing land grabs and human rights violations targeting Tamils in the country. Sixteen years since the end of the civil war, the Tamil population – marginalized and persecuted since the country’s independence in 1948 – still awaits justice.
