The Indian central government as well as state of Tamil Nadu have submitted before a tribunal that as per the documents and oral evidence on record the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) continues to practice violent, disruptive and unlawful activities, which are prejudicial to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of India, reports Colombo Gazette on November 6. However, a special tribunal constituted by the Delhi High Court has reserved its verdict on whether the Centre’s ban on the LTTE needs to be upheld. “Despite a continuous ban on LTTE since 1992 in India, its activities continue to pose a threat and are detrimental to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India directly or through various pro-LTTE organizations,” the government has submitted before the tribunal. The central and state governments have also submitted that the LTTE and pro-LTTE groups have been active in Tamil Nadu even during the period of the ban on the outfit since May 2012.

Sri Lanka’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN), Ambassador Ravinatha Aryasinha while addressing a conference in Geneva on November 12 has said that Sri Lanka stands ready to share its experience in comprehensive demining as a 'best practice' with countries which are facing similar challenges, reports Colombo Page. Ambassador said that the Sri Lanka's continuing progress in demining has been achieved by telescoping, what according to some estimates was to take 15-20 years, into one of 5-7 years duration. According to him, over 1,128,336 explosive devices (1,712- Anti Tank, 615,669- Anti Personal and 510,955 unexploded ordnances [UXOs]) have been recovered as at September 2014. Five years since the ending of the conflict in Sri Lanka, so far this year alone, a total of 55,761 explosive devices, including 78 Anti Tank mines, 28,577 Anti Personnel mines and 27,106 UXOs have been recovered. He added that a large portion, about 75 percent, of the demining work, had been allocated to the Sri Lanka Army. He also said the demining continues to take place as the number of mines and improvised explosive devices (IED) laid by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) was extensive and their locations unknown. Ambassador Aryasinha said due to the efficient and effective demining process and also to the infrastructure development in the former conflict affected area, the Government of Sri Lanka was able to resettle a total of 510,710 persons (153,837 families) out of nearly 767,748 Internally Displaced Persons [IDPs] (226,824 families), in the Northern Province and 257,038 persons (72,987 families) in the Eastern Province. He noted that “as per the Joint Study undertaken by the Ministry of Resettlement, the Presidential Task Force for Resettlement, Development and Security in the Northern Province (PTF); and the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), as of August 2014, only a total of 26,056 persons (7,840 families) remain to be resettled, which includes 21,747 persons (6,498 families) from the Northern Province and 4,309 persons (1,342 families) from the Eastern Province."

External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris on November 17 met the United Nations (UN) Resident Coordinator and conveyed to him the Government’s extreme discontent regarding the unprofessional manner in which the investigation on Sri Lanka was being conducted by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), reports Daily Mirror. The External Affairs Ministry protested the unacceptable manner in which the October 30 deadline set by the OHCHR for submission of evidence to the investigation had been changed unofficially and reset again. According to the OHCHR’s call for submissions on its website the October 30 deadline was definite and mandatory. However, the OHCHR spokesperson in response to a question from a local newspaper stated that though officially the deadline was October 30 and would not be extended, it was understood that some material might take time to arrive and that submissions arriving late, therefore, would not necessarily be refused.

Former Norwegian Minister and facilitator of Sri Lanka's peace process, Erik Solheim, on November 17 rejected President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s allegation that he supported and funded the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), reports Colombo Page. He said, “Norway, as the third, facilitating party to the Sri Lankan peace process financed neither the LTTE in general nor its military operations in particular.” He however, noted that Norway made economic resources available to the LTTE peace secretariat in order to assist them in engaging more fully with the ongoing peace process. He further said that President Mahinda Rajapaksa was fully informed of the Norway's role in the peace process and the President was always fully supportive of Norway's peace aims.

The European Union (EU) court's decision to delist Sri Lanka's Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and the upcoming presidential election were among the issues discussed at Britain's upper parliament, House of Lords on November 24, reports Colombo Page. The discussion initiated when Lord Naseby, who is the chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Sri Lanka, asked the House of Lords what action they are taking in response to the European Court of Justice verdict on October 16 and its conclusions in respect of restrictive measures currently in place since the LTTE was proscribed by the EU in 2006 and by the United Kingdom (UK) in 2000. Responding to Lord Naseby, Lord Wallace of Saltaire said they are studying the implications of the ECJ judgment and considering appropriate next steps and announce that the UK condemns the LTTE, as a brutal terror organization, and it remains proscribed under UK law. The members of the House of Lords also discussed the upcoming presidential elections in Sri Lanka when Lord Bach asked what the prospects are for a free, fair and inclusive election in Sri Lanka given the history of such elections in the past and the blocking of the common opposition candidate's first TV interview. Lord Wallace said the British Government and others are talking about the best way to ensure that there is effective monitoring of the elections. "We will of course be raising such issues with the Sri Lankan Government," he said.

Army Media Spokesperson Brigadier Ruwan Wanigasooriya on November 26 said that Sri Lanka will not allow anyone to celebrate the birth anniversary of the slain leader of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), Velupillai Prabhakaran or the 'Mahavir Day' (Heroes' Day) that falls on his birthday, reports Colombo Page. Prabhakaran's birthday falls on November 26, and before its demise in 2009, the LTTE commemorated its 'war heroes' day on the leader's birthday. The Spokesperson said the reports claiming that LTTE loyalists are planning on celebrating the ‘Mahavir day' on November 26 and 27 is completely false. However, security has been strengthened in the Northern Province by deploying additional Police officers and Special Forces in the area, Brigadier Wanigasooriya added.
