Sri Lanka: Join the International Criminal Court

The Issue

Six years after the end of its 26-year long civil war, thousands of victims of brutal war crimes in Sri Lanka are still awaiting justice.

With its new leaders promising to put Sri Lanka on a path towards reform and reconciliation, justice for grave crimes must not be neglected.

By joining the International Criminal Court, Sri Lanka can signal to its citizens and the international community that it is ready to break away from impunity and its violent past.

The Sri Lankan government must no longer turn its back on its responsibility to protect its citizens.

Join our call on Sri Lanka to accede to the ICC Rome Statute as part of our Campaign for Global Justice.
