The Sri Lankan Polity: A Case of Constitutional Autocracy

Mukarji Apratim

Online published on 6 August, 2014.

Abstract

While attention has been justifiably focussed on the alleged violations of the rights of Sri Lankan Tamils, a true perspective may be gained by including the entire nation in a study of the prevailing situation. The unsatisfactory treatment of the Tamil issue is a corollary of President Mahinda Rajapaksa's objective of curbing all other powers and suppressing human rights throughout the country in order to strengthen and perpetuate his rule. This has been achieved through a meticulous and systematic manipulation of the constitution and the rule of law.
