That's a direct and really crucial question, but there's no simple answer.
I think one of the things—and I think it began to happen around the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting—is for other governments to stop giving the Rajapaksa government the benefit of the doubt. Stop treating it as a kind of government that isn't exactly what they want but perhaps is moving in the right direction or trying its best and has so many difficult issues, as many governments do. I think that has begun to happen more clearly, with just very clear statements about the nature of the Sri Lankan government and the need for that to change, and with support given to all communities in Sri Lanka and to members of all communities who are trying to resist and to create a more democratic future.
While the issue of what happened at the end of the war and the need for an international investigation is crucial, I think it's important not to frame the problem in Sri Lanka as merely one of what happened at the end of the war, or merely the lack of full democratic rights of Tamils. It's also that there's been a grave deterioration in the democratic rights of Muslims and of Sinhalese, and those need to be addressed as well. Indeed, I think that if you're ever going to address the ultimate issue at the heart of the civil war—how to share power between the Sinhalese and Tamil communities—you need effective, well-functioning, democratic, and liberal institutions to deal with that. You would need to rebuild those, even if you had a government willing to address the ethnic issue.
What can be done? Crucially, I think this means that it needs highlighting internationally, but also working through every available international institution, some of which I just mentioned in reply to your colleague's previous question. All the UN bodies have responsibilities.
On that issue, it's important for Canada, I think, to be pressing for the full implementation of the UN Secretary-General's new Rights Up Front framework, which follows on the report of his own internal review of UN actions in Sri Lanka, and which found, as I mentioned, a systemic failure by the UN. In response to that, he has instituted a new policy, Rights Up Front, but unfortunately there's not yet evidence that it's being applied in Sri Lanka by all UN agencies. I think that's something that Canada could be pushing on.
