Sri Lanka at 60

2008 marks Sri Lanka’s 60th anniversary as well as the official end of the ceasefire agreement between the government of Sri Lanka and the LTTE. The Asia Society hosted a panel discussion yesterday exploring “The Failure of the Peace Process and Its Implications.” Panelists included Ahilan Kadirgamar, from the Sri Lanka Democracy Forum, Asoka Bandarage, a professor at Georgetown University, and Rajiva Wijesinha, a representative from the government who joined us via telephone. V.V. Ganeshananthan moderated the discussion.
