This report outlines the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL)'s historical and contemporary Sinhalization process in the North-East of Sri Lanka, through the use of state-sponsored land appropriation, settlement and irrigation schemes; "Buddhisization;" and the repression of memorialization of important Tamil events. Coupled with the systematic oppression of the Tamil people and minority groups, such as the Muslim community, and the complete lack of accountability for past and ongoing crimes, the report shows that the root causes of conflict remain unaddressed well after the end of the armed conflict in 2009.
