Abstract

This report on the state of displaced persons in the North and East of Sri Lanka analyses the security condition and concerns of those who live in makeshifts and camps in conflict affected areas. It provides an overview of the current ground situation,and highlights the manner in which resettlement, sometimes forced resettlement, is changing the ethnic composition of certain areas, and being used to establish the political dominance of certain parties/segments of the population. It also sets out the current living conditions of displaced persons (right to life, liberty, food, water etc.) and also provides an analysis of the causes of displacement within the framework of the human security vs militarisation debate.
