Editorial gloss

The Accord recognised the Northern and Eastern Provinces as 'areas of historical habitation of Sri Lankan Tamil-speaking peoples', merged them temporarily into a single North-East Provincial Council subject to a later eastern referendum, committed to devolution via constitutional amendment, and declared Tamil and English official languages alongside Sinhala. India committed to disarm Tamil militant groups; the IPKF was deployed. Primary text used by /case/frameworks/indo-lanka-accord-1987.
