MP Evidence Packs

The end-stage of the armed conflict and the unresolved accountability file. Anchors every Remembrance Day statement.

The post-2009 military footprint, occupied land, and the case for sequenced, monitored demilitarisation. Pairs with Petition-01.

The 6,700 / 16,700 honesty-index, the role of the Office on Missing Persons (OMP), and what UN CED standards actually require.

The press-freedom record on Sri Lanka, the Tamil diaspora press it produced, and the credentialed bodies that protect journalists. Pairs with the Press Freedom Desk.

Remittance flows, diaspora chambers of commerce, and existing UK / US / EU sanctions exposure (OFSI / OFAC / Magnitsky). Argues for transparent, well-regulated diaspora capital — never for blanket sanctions and never for a 'Tamil GDP' aggregate.

Sri Lanka's standing against the 27 EU GSP+ conventions. Supports genuine compliance — never calls for withdrawal. Pairs with the new EU GSP Regulation entering into application 1 January 2027.

Mirror of the UK MP pack adapted for Members of the European Parliament ahead of the 1 January 2027 new GSP Regulation. Supports compliance, never withdrawal. Adds Eastern Muslim and up-country labour anchors so the file is multi-community by construction.

Fisher livelihoods, the 1974 & 1976 treaties, and how the file is mis-framed in current political debate. Pairs with the Maritime Desk.

Tamil legal and land identity has been continuously recognised in statute for over three centuries — 1706 Dutch compilation, 1806 British codification, 1947 Ceylon retention, present-day Sri Lankan law. The pack supports protection of the underlying archive (notably British Library EAP1450). It does not ask the UK to recognise Tamil statehood and does not ask for restoration of Thesawalamai content.

OHCHR's 'We Lost Everything' 2026, OISL 2015 on CRSV, and the survivor-services gap. Defers all intake to PEARL / ITJP / OHCHR.

Sri Lanka has ratified ICCPR (Art 20) and ICERD (Art 4) but does not enforce them on majority-targeted-on-minority public incitement, atrocity-denial, or war-crime trivialisation. The pack supplies UK MPs and FCDO with a citation-only audit — anchored in Sri Lanka's own NHRI (HRCSL), CPA, Verité Research and Hashtag Generation, alongside EU Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA — so the enforcement gap is documented without naming individual social-media accounts or aggregating counts.

In October 1990 the LTTE expelled the entire Northern Muslim population — over 70,000 people — from Jaffna, Mannar, Mullaitivu, Kilinochchi and Vavuniya at short notice. A Tamil-acknowledged wound. The acknowledgement IS the political work — no 'context' framing, no minimisation.

Continued military dominance in the North-East produces, rather than prevents, the civilian-safety failures (gang-era impunity, NDDCB-documented heroin spread, civilian protest over impunity). The pack equips UK MPs and FCDO to read post-2009 NE civilian insecurity as a STRUCTURAL DOWNSTREAM EFFECT of an unfinished transition — using Staniland 2014 and Schultze-Kraft 2017 as the academic frame, anchored in HRCSL, NDDCB, ICG, PEARL, Adayaalam, SIPRI, IISS and the Tamil Guardian record. Never names. Never aggregates. Never proposes a deployment.

The 1948 Ceylon Citizenship Act, the 1964 Sirima-Shastri Pact, the 2003 grant of citizenship, and the still-unresolved living wage, housing and franchise gap on the tea estates. The Hill-Country Tamil file is its own civic story — not a sub-chapter of the Northern Tamil file.

Packages the six LTTE-era dossiers and the 109-law Diaspora Law Index into the lawful UK-aligned recovery, sanctions, and counter-illicit-finance instruments already on the statute book. Never glorifies, never amnesties, never substitutes for due process.

Packages the post-2009 reclassification of Hindu, Sufi and Christian heritage sites in the Tamil-Muslim North-East — and the cumulative statutory pattern from the 1948 Citizenship Acts to the June 2020 Presidential Task Force Gazette Extraordinary No. 2178/17 — into the UK's existing UNESCO, UN CERD, and OECD DAC channels. Anchored on the gazette itself, PEARL, Oakland, HRW, Adayaalam, McGilvray (Routledge 2016), Köpke (Conservation & Society 2021), Schonthal (Cambridge 2016). Never names, never aggregates, never frames as anti-Buddhist.

Structural argument for UK post-colonial repair responsibility — Soulbury 1944–47 gap, Section 29(2) removal, Mau Mau / Chagos / BN(O) precedent. Archival truth + research institution + civic partnership + mobility principles. Capped, vetted, lawful — no migration demand, no sovereignty claim.

Packages the documented asymmetry between Article 9 of the 1978 Constitution, the ICCPR Act No. 56 of 2007, and the cumulative incitement record (Aluthgama 2014 → Digana 2018 → Easter 2019 → forced cremation 2020–22) into UK FCDO, DCMS, and EU GSP+ channels. Cross-community: Tamils, Muslims, Hill Country Tamils, Christians. Anchored on Shaheed (A/HRC/43/48/Add.2), ICG, OHCHR, Verité, NCEASL. Never names, never aggregates in TLTE voice, never frames as anti-Buddhist.

Citation-only re-reading of child-recruitment allegations in Sri Lanka's North-East — separated by year, district, controlling force, and command structure across the 3 March 2004 Karuna split. UN SG CAAC reports under UNSCR 1612 (2005) listed the LTTE and the Karuna faction as separate parties in Annex II of every global SG CAAC report from S/2006/826 onward. The pack equips UK MPs and FCDO to mirror that distinction in ministerial statements. Never names a child, family, or non-Tier-A commander. Never aggregates counts in TLTE voice. Children were victims first.

Citation-only framework on the Tamil North-East civic vacuum after demilitarisation: PTA misuse against Tamil artists (Sangeethsan trigger case, Tier D), 20.3% Kilinochchi youth unemployment (Univ. Peradeniya), only-partial UNHRC 30/1 land return (Verité), continuing surveillance (OHCHR A/HRC/60/21), structural corruption channels (TISL, Verité, GAN, APG MER March 2026), and the Cloud Civil Administration architecture spec as the published target. Pack equips FCDO, Home Office, and DfE to apply consistent international standards. Never accepts intake. Never names individual officers or politicians. Never claims TLTE operates a cloud government.

Citation-only audit framework on the UK Schedule 2 periodic review of the LTTE listing, anchored in POAC PC/06/2022 Arumugam v SSHD (21 June 2024) — which dismissed all four grounds but expressly noted the Ministerial Submission had overstated the number of states proscribing LTTE. Asks FCDO / Home Office four procedural questions consistent with the Lord Alton [2008] EWCA Civ 443 standard. TLTE does not lead deproscription litigation and does not call for delisting. Pack does not invite, support, or glorify any proscribed organisation (UK Terrorism Act 2000 §12). The question is procedural: whether the periodic review meets the standard the proscribing state set itself.

Citation-only audit framework on whether UK accountability policy on Sri Lanka treats Tamil political grievances independently of the LTTE Schedule 2 listing — and on whether the UK has articulated a doctrinal position on remedial self-determination, on the IHL/CT distinction the ICRC sets out, and on the international-law definition of terrorism after the STL Ayyash decision and the Saul / Ambos rebuttals. Pack does not invite, support, or glorify any proscribed organisation (UK Terrorism Act 2000 §12). The question is doctrinal: whether the UK's policy architecture engages the international-law authorities on its own terms.

Court-supervised Chemmani / Ariyalai Siththupaththi mass-grave excavations in Jaffna. 480 sets identified across phases 1–3, 479 fully exhumed over 96 days of work (Tamil Guardian, 28 Jul 2026); third phase halted 28 Jul with resumption reported for 4 Aug 2026. Of the 1999 phase, 8 of 15 remain un-returned after 27 years per UN AL LKA 1/2025. Largest identified mass grave on the island. Sits inside OHCHR Sri Lanka Accountability Project (HRC res. 60/1). ITJP 13 Jul 2026 report anchors continuing accountability gap and publicly names a shortlist of SL Army officers (cite-only mirror at /institute/chemmani/perpetrator-record). HRCSL Sep 2025 findings on worker intimidation. State-Silence Ledger at /institute/chemmani/state-silence-ledger logs institutional non-response. Standing demand of Bishop of Mannar 2013, OHCHR, ITJP, PEARL, Adayaalam for independent international forensic oversight, victim-safe DNA pathway, and continuous site protection.

Pack publishes the methodology and safeguards of Karuthu Vellam (கருத்து வெள்ளம்), the diaspora opinion-mapping instrument at /mandate — Pol.is-derived math owned in-house, Laplace-DP noise on the live counter, k=25 cohort floor, era-week archival readings. The pack does NOT publish counts. The policy artefact is the methodology, not a result.

Diaspora networks coordinated through WTM-Geneva and AFTE are advancing a Country-Specific Special Rapporteur for Sri Lanka at HRC63. TLTE records the existence of the call and does NOT co-sign it. This pack asks UK MPs to ask HM Government to state its position on the proposal — neutral inquiry only. The pack is designed to be tabled WITHOUT endorsing the SR mandate; the policy artefact is parliamentary visibility, not a UK whip line.

A standing briefing for British MPs and APPGs framing the UK–Eelam relationship as a civic-historical bridge: post-Brexit Indo-Pacific anchor, three-generation diaspora civic contribution, and a lawful UK–Eelam corridor bound to UK DCTS, EU GSP+, UK universal jurisdiction, FATF/APG cooperation, and the standing OHCHR Sri Lanka mandate. No reparations claim. No naming of serving officials. No trade pitch in TLTE's voice.

A quarterly briefing instrument synthesising seven structural patterns detected across Sri Lanka's North-East, Hill Country and the Tamil diaspora corridor, with named coupling hypotheses and external-actor dossiers. Tier-A first. Citation-only. No naming of individuals. Coupling claims labelled as hypotheses.

A civilian-only ocean-knowledge programme aligned with UNESCO-IOC and the UN Ocean Decade. Coastal memory, maritime cultural heritage and area-level oceanography — never extraction, never naval, never named sites in homeland waters.

A non-operational design-study programme proposing UK ↔ diaspora knowledge exchange on civilian public-safety, public-integrity, coast-rescue and digital civic services — PSNI/Patten, ICAC, RNLI and X-Road as comparative anchors. Never operational, never enforcement, never intake.

A UK-jurisdiction standards document published as a Land Hub: legitimacy stack of named UN instruments, four design-study units, UK CIO + CIC Phase-0 prototype, comparative precedents, public risk register, published refusals. Operational deployment sealed in Vault RB-12. Referral-only forensics. No homeland operations during Aarambam.

An educational study set published by VinMin Ltd, drawing on Tier-A UN and OHCHR records. Five Refusals plate on every page. No proscribed-org iconography, no naming of proscribed combatants, no randomised atrocity draws, no cash-out, sealed operational layer (Vault RB-13). Pack supports UK MPs framing educational record-keeping as ICCPR Art. 19 / ECHR Art. 10 protected speech.

A heritage-archive audit pack for the 1622 Portuguese destruction of Tiru-kōṇēsvaram at Trincomalee, reframed as an epistemic-archival loss. Six policy asks to UK FCDO, DCMS, APPG for Tamils, and the UNESCO National Commission UK. Tier-A primary (de Queyroz 1687; Pathmanathan 2006; Abeyasinghe 1966) plus the UNESCO 1972 Convention and the OHCHR Right to Truth framework.

A UK-Parliament briefing pack on the PTA → PSTA + ICCPR §3 + Online Safety Act + Penal Code §120/291B substitution architecture. Anchored on OHCHR A/HRC/40/52/Add.3 (2019), ICJ (2018), Amnesty International (2023) and Article 19 (2024). Introduces the Coercion(t) index (ECSL M09) and the ΔK substitution-surplus indicator for use in UK ODA conditionality review and UNHRC statements.

A UK-Parliament briefing pack anchored on the Nataraja Doctrine (Doctrine · III at docs.tlte.cloud). Tier-A on capacity (IISS, Jane's, Hashim 2013, Pape 2005). Tier-A on absence (UN PoE 2011, OHCHR OISL 2015, START GTD, UK Home Office CONTEST, Europol TE-SAT). The pack cites both panels and draws no editorial bridge — the seventeen-year silence is the finding. For use in FCDO questions on post-conflict diaspora threat picture, Home Office CONTEST briefings, and APPG for Tamils sessions.

Citation-only structural-function pack on the Tamil Nadu ↔ Eelam relationship. Introduces Regulatory Gradient Capital Deflection (RGCD) as the named mechanism. Anchors: KNOMAD MDB39, ECI 2011–2026, MEA Explanations of Vote 2013–2024, MHA UAPA gazettes 2014/2019/2024, Amnesty ASA37/1011/2026 (Malaiyaha forced-labour), Stimson 2024 (Katchatheevu), Guérin/IRD 2024 (matrimonial economy), Bass 2013, Kanapathipillai 2009, Rayappu Joseph LLRC 2011. Five FCDO/Home Office/DBT/DfE PQs. TLTE names no leader as a bad actor, aggregates no diaspora wealth, and asks no policy on behalf of the Church or the Saiva mutt aadheenams without their public consent.

UK-facing accountability pack on Sri Lankan tea-sector labour conditions. ILO C87/C98/C111/C190 + UK Modern Slavery Act 2015 §54 + DCTS/GSP+ conditionality + Amnesty ASA37/1011/2026. Companion to MP Pack #10 (up-country-tamils). Frames the file as a UK importer-accountability file, not an Eelam-facing solidarity ask. Doctrine anchor: Parallel Sovereignty (/doctrine/parallel-sovereignty) — the door is open, the seat is named, we will not knock.

UK-facing pack converting the Chemmani court-supervised excavation (480 sets identified across phases 1–3, 479 fully exhumed at day 96 on 28 Jul 2026, with 8 still un-returned since 1999) into four standing rails: ICMP standards benchmark, OSLAP evidentiary submission, UK Magnitsky sanctions expansion built on the 24 March 2025 template, and a Peoples' Tribunal spec. Framed around the EU delegation visit of 22 Jul 2026 (Ambassadors Moreno · Francovigh · Neumann · Lambert · De Boer) and the ITJP 14 Jul 2026 report. GSP+ conditionality is presented as a goal for European policymakers, not a citable EU statement.
