முடியாத கணக்குThe Unfinished Ledger — the LTTE era, in citation

The people gave money, labour, hope, and sometimes their lives — in the name of a homeland. The homeland did not arrive. The ledger of what was collected, what was spent, what was lost, and what is owed has never been published. This sub-spine holds the gap open until it is closed.

Three reckonings outstanding
  • A · Sri Lankan state accountability — UN PoE 2011, OISL 2015, Petrie 2012, OHCHR 2026, ITJP, CPA, Oakland. UNHRC 30/1, 46/1, 51/1, 57/1. Zero domestic prosecutions for conflict-period violations as of 2025.
  • B · LTTE-era financial accountability — no public audit of what was raised; no accounting for the ~$1B disclosed by KP; no host-jurisdiction quantum frozen; no restitution mechanism for coerced contributors who are, in legal terms, extortion victims.
  • C · Post-war material reality — Northern Province ≈4% of national GDP (CBSL PGDP 2024). ~115,000 still displaced three years after the war (IDMC 2012). The promised "development dividend" is, on the published CBSL and World Bank ledger, largely absent.

ICRC ~16,000 tracing requests open. OMP located 16 alive of ~6,000 inquiries. UN PoE 'as many as 40,000' as a floor at Mullivaikkal. Petrie 2012. NP still ≈4% of national GDP.

The Global Money Web — Where It Came From, Where It Went

Jane's $200M/yr · TRO/WTM designations · EDNY arms-procurement convictions · ~$1B KP disclosure via WikiLeaks Colombo cables · the structural silence of every host jurisdiction.

Legal Recovery Pathways — The Architecture Already Exists

UNCAC Ch V · UK POCA / UWO · Magnitsky · Swiss FIAA · Singapore CDSA · universal jurisdiction · civil torts · FATF/APG. A community-trust restitution architecture — not Colombo-bound.

The Rebel Ecosystem & the Attribution Problem

TELO, EPRLF, PLOTE, EROS, ENDLF, post-2004 Karuna/TMVP, EPDP. State-backed paramilitary tracks. Criminal-economy actors who used the LTTE label. Command-vs-unit responsibility under Rome Statute Art 28.

What this sub-spine is not
  • · Not a glorification of any armed group (UK Terrorism Act 2000 §12).
  • · Not a verdict — investigation belongs to accredited courts and treaty bodies.
  • · Not a survivor-intake surface — route to PEARL, ITJP, OMP, OHCHR, UN WGEID.
  • · Not a TLTE aggregate count — every figure is attributed 'as published by [source] in [year].'
  • · Not a target list, not a sanctions call, not a prosecution. TLTE refuses sovereignty (/on-what-authority).
