If you have been affected by the 61 years of Sri Lankan war or if you know of any one who is affected by this war than you are encouraged to register. 
 
Why registering is important?

Protection against such atrocities as genocide, large scale massacres, torture, arbitrary arrest, unlawful detention, enforced disappearance, extra-judicial killing, rape – starts with information collection to substantiate the claims. The information collected will be used to lobby the respective authorities and speed up the remedial process and seek measures to end the culture that perpetrates these evils with impunity.

As Sri Lanka’s genocidal war on Tamils intensified over the past few months, international organizations have continuously underplayed the figures within the ‘Safe Zone’ and the number of casualties, leaving Tamils not knowing the fate of their families. The official Government Agent reports submitted to the authorities in March 2009 stated over 330,000 civilians were in the Vanni. Now, the estimates range from 280,000-300,000 remaining interned in the camps, yet the UN and the Sri Lankan government dispute claims that the casualties of this war could be greater than 20,000. All of these civilians must be accounted for. Therefore it is paramount that we register all our family members, relatives and friends, who were in the area during the conflict.

The Sri Lankan State wants Tamils to ‘Disappear’ without a trace. It is up to us to stop it!
