Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran said that Police saying there is a threat to Tamil National Alliance (TNA) leader Sumanthiran's life is a ploy to station the Army permanently, reports Daily Mirror on February 7. He said "The Police had told Courts that those arrested had drugs in their possession. However they had not notified Courts about the death threat. If there were any truth in the allegation, they should have notified so. We have to find out to what extent it is true. Following the Police investigations something will be said. One thing we must remember is that from time to time there were death threats or some tensions were created. They did this in the case of Kilinochchi Jeyakumari as well. I wonder whether the circulation of this kind of rumour is a ruse to station the army permanently

Northern Provincial Council has passed a resolution calling for the ratification of the Rome Statute, so that Sri Lanka could be hauled up before the International Criminal Court (ICC) if crimes were committed in future, reports Daily Mirror on March 18. Currently, Sri Lanka is not a signatory to the Rome Statute, and therefore anyone here could not be tried before the ICC. In the resolution that was adopted, the Northern Provincial Council resolves that the Government had not taken adequate measures to fully implement the Resolution 301 that it cosponsored at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) Session in September 2015, especially with regard to the accountability, establishment of a Commission for Truth, Reconciliation; non–recurrence of oppression, return of lands to its rightful civilian owners and an office of reparation.
