		We are deeply shocked by the news that the Defence Ministry is about to issue a dictum to Sri Lanka's Navy to fly the flag of the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) when patrolling Sri Lankan seas with SLMM representatives on board Navy vessels.
		Identifying Sri Lanka's Navy vessels with SLMM's flag substantially increases the risks faced by sailors operating in non-SLMM flag bearing vessels.
		If the Minister for Defence is incapable of providing a policy framework that safeguards the life of each and every member of our beloved armed forces, as their supreme commander, we urge you to take decisive steps to rectify the sorry situation.
