தன்னுரிமை வழக்குThe Self-Determination Case File
A citation-only, peer-reviewable, falsifiable evidentiary spine. Nine sections plus three article archives. Built so no single page contains the whole case — and so no single page can take it down.
New here?
Frameworks-first (lawyers · researchers), Suppression-first (journalists · witnesses), or Movements-first (diaspora kindred). Pick a path; treat it as a spine.
Section spine
Sangam → Chola → Jaffna Kingdom → Eastern Tamils → Malaiyaha → diaspora. Why 'indigenous' applies under UNDRIP.
Twenty-two exhausted resolution paths, 1948–present. Each step a separate article in the archives.
Five named, falsifiable models — Impunity Ratio, Power-Asymmetry Index, Trust-Decay Curve, Demographic Displacement, Narrowing Function.
Quebec Reference 1998, Kosovo AO 2010, Aaland 1921, Katangese 1995, UN Charter, ICCPR Art 1, UNDRIP.
Homeland + diaspora ecumene, transparency-native economy, no-standing-army, Charter-bound.
Rational-actor tables for India, China, US/Quad, UK/EU, Indian Ocean states.
Why this matters for diaspora-born Tamils. Civic identity, language continuity, dual-rooted citizenship.
Conditions under which the case collapses. Public failure-conditions ledger.
Three article archives
Every Tamil-side resolution attempt, 1920–present — pacts, accords, UN resolutions, transitional-justice instruments. Each one is a step on the narrowing timeline.
The diaspora and civil-society organisations that have carried Tamil accountability work for forty-plus years. Citation-only, agency-first, never duplicating their intake.
Sri Lankan state architecture — constitutional, legislative, administrative, ideological — that has produced the conditions to which the Tamil resolution attempts have responded. State actions, not collective blame.
Discipline pages — labelling, objections, design responsibility
Five capstone pages: remedial self-determination (Aaland → Kosovo AO), defining terrorism in international law (STL Ayyash + Saul / Ambos rebuttals), contested sovereignty (NIAC · de facto state · internal colonialism), canonical glossary, and a scholar ledger. Each doctrine page closes with an Honest Ceiling.
Twelve-part civilisational-memory dossier. Kamban first (disarm) → Kubera reveal (Uttarakāṇḍa Sargas 9–11: Rāvaṇa is a usurper by the same texts that make him a hero; both revivals structurally suppress Kubera) → Vijaya problem (Mahāvaṃsa autochthony deficit) → Koneswaram spine (six materially auditable layers, 1622 → 2024). Wanniyala-Aetto refusal non-removable. Honest Limits states 26 categorical refusals.
Six Tier-A dossiers on Murukaṉ (முருகன்): Tamil-primary spine (Tolkāppiyam · Paripāṭal · Tirumurukāṟṟuppaṭai before the Sanskrit Skanda stratum) · Ṣaṇmukha and the Kṛttikās (Pleiades astronomy as structural rhyme only) · the vēl as axis and Aruṇakirinātar's metrical mathematics · the six war-camps · Kataragama as the seventh camp (Vedda + Buddhist + Śaiva co-worship, Bastin 2002) · Nallur & Maviddapuram (Portuguese 1621, temple-entry 1968). No horoscopy, no Vedic-science apologetics.
Scholarly catalogue of the four dominant labels (civil war · ethnic conflict · terrorism · liberation struggle). Bangladesh 1971 as scholarly comparator. TLTE adopts none in its own voice.
LTTE proscription record (India 1992 · US 1997 · UK 2001 · EU 2006 incl. 2014 General Court annulment · Canada 2006) and the parallel PTA record. Asymmetry audit, not a delisting call.
Strongest objections stated in full and answered with named Tier-A sources. Closes by stating which narrow but do not close.
Design arc 1815 → 1948 (Kandyan Convention · Colebrooke–Cameron · Donoughmore · Soulbury · Citizenship Act). Design responsibility, not reparations. Pairs with /case/civic-repair.
Twelve thematic claims, each mapped to Tier-A sources, the /case/ page that carries the argument, and the MP Pack that uses it. Append-only.
Sub-spines
Six dossiers: rise · de facto state · human ledger · money web · legal recovery · rebel ecosystem & attribution.
Four parts: EU Commission submission · UK DCTS parallel · pro-bono legal review pathway · Tier-A source index.
Master pattern: Sri Lanka's Tamil Śaiva civilisation as a node on a 12-century Indian-Ocean network. Pre-Mahāvaṃsa floor · genome floor · oceanic node · Pañca Īśvarams · Nataraja retrojection · manuscript custody · Polonnaruwa bronzes · ola-suvaḍi instrument · Mahāvihāra-as-ideology · comparative tactic bank · filing-forum index.
From failed decolonisation to Tamil civic repair. Six pillars: decolonisation gap · research & truth · UK precedent (Mau Mau / Chagos / BN(O)) · mobility principles · civic partnership · open questions. Not charity. Not sovereignty. Not migration demand. Structural.
Seven tracks. Every institution already Tier-A cited in the archive. Public directory + template letters + append-only ledger. Two guardrails: 30-day quiet window on any first contact, individual officers never named.
What this organ is not
- · Not a petition. Not a campaign. Not advocacy in TLTE voice.
- · Not a survivor-intake surface. Routes to ITJP, PEARL, OHCHR, OMP, UN CED.
- · Not a verdict. Investigation belongs to accredited courts and treaty bodies.
- · Not glorification of any armed group (UK Terrorism Act 2000 §12).
- · Not a forecast. The Structural Mathematics layer is descriptive, not predictive.
