The People’s Tribunal will investigate the allegations that the Government of Sri Lanka and its armed forces committed war crimes and crimes against humanity during its final phase of the war with the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. The Tribunal will also examine the local and international factors that led to the collapse of the 2002 Ceasefire Agreement.

The Government has been accused by the International NGOs of committing severe human rights abuses. Sri Lanka was voted out of the UN Human Rights Council for its failure.
