Sri Lanka

After twenty-six years of civil war, in May 2009 the Government of Sri Lanka announced it had defeated the separatist group the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).  While Sri Lanka has subsequently entered a post-war stage, it is not yet a post-conflict state.  USIP is working with local partners and members of the international community to support efforts to address the root causes of Sri Lanka's conflict in pursuit of a sustainable peace.
