Yes. With regard to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, there were really two meetings.
There was the meeting as it was represented in the international media and to the rest of the world, in which I think the Canadian Prime Minister's decision not to attend opened the space for a more general criticism of the human rights situation in Sri Lanka. I think it was a valuable stand in terms of the effects it produced. It increased awareness of the issue, and I think that opened the space, for instance, for Prime Minister Cameron to go, but to be very forceful in his words when he was there.
Within Sri Lanka, however, I think in large part due to the government's control of the media, most Sri Lankans—particularly Sinhalese-speaking Sri Lankans whose almost sole source of news is government controlled, either directly or indirectly—if they were aware of the Canadian Prime Minister's non-attendance, it was presented to them as unimportant and an example of western interference and a sort of western hypocrisy, and so on and so forth. It was dismissed as either unfair or unimportant, and probably didn't have much effect on Sri Lankan, or at least Sinhalese, attitudes toward the nature and success, or lack of it, of the Commonwealth meeting.
