UK–Eelam Civic Axis · post-Brexit lawful corridor + accountability conditionality

ஐக்கிய இராச்சியம் — ஈழம் ஆட்சி முடிச்சு

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.

Remembrance frame

This pack frames the UK–Eelam relationship as a civic-historical bridge, not a reparations claim. It never names a serving UK official, MP, party, or firm as a target. It never proposes a trade deal in TLTE's voice. UK Lobbying Act 2014 transparency note applies on every printed brief.

Now · Aarambam

Cited Tier-A evidence is open and unresolved. UK is a co-sponsor of UN HRC accountability resolutions but implementation is uneven. Statements honour memory; evidence remains under-actioned.

Becoming · Nilaiththanmai

Statements are backed by structured packs. Each anniversary produces tabled PQs, FCDO follow-ups, and a tracked answer. Memory becomes evidence; evidence becomes policy; policy becomes repair.

Evidence anchors

Each anchor carries a stable E-id for citation in correspondence, PQs, and parliamentary submissions.
