You mentioned earlier moderate Tamils, which would obviously distinguish them from hard-line Tamils. One of the difficulties here seems to be the intractability of the hard-line Tamils, I believe, in their request for self-determination. That self-determination has been given several different descriptions, but in reality it seems to be that they want a separate country as opposed to having some autonomy in their regions.
We were discussing the difference between a humanitarian pause and a ceasefire. In the past agreements that created somewhat of a ceasefire, were they also given any kind of unrealistic expectations that perhaps self-determination was going to be one point of the consultations and then that was not going to happen? Is that not one of the major reasons that now the Government of Sri Lanka is really taking a pretty firm line on it? If that is the one request they cannot go without, they really have no other choice because they will not allow that separation or self-determination.
