		Article 3 of the UN Convention against Torture, which provides that "[n]o State Party shall expel, return ("refouler") or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he would be in danger of being subjected to torture", has not been given effect in Sri Lanka.

	[AHRC Forwarded Statement] SRI LANKA: Human Rights Commission stalls inquiry into disappeared SEP member
		Three months after its last hearing, the Sri Lanka Human Rights Commission (HRC) has not fixed a date to recommence the inquiry into the disappearance of Socialist Equality Party (SEP) member Nadarajah Wimaleswaran and his friend, Sivanathan Mathivathanan, in northern Sri Lanka on March 22.
		There is a large number of reported killings, abductions and disappearances which remain unresolved.” The government immediately dismissed Arbour’s suggestion that the UN Human Rights Commission send monitors or establish an office in Sri Lanka.
		We again call on SEP supporters and WSWS readers to demand that Sri Lankan authorities conduct an urgent investigation to find Wimaleswaran and Mathivathanan and secure their safe release.

	International Trotskyism - Ceylon/Sri Lanka: The Rise of the Lanka Sama Samaja Party
		Sri Lanka is not a country which Marxist theory would indicate as likely to be a major center of strength of a movement such as Trotskyism, advocating a proletarian revolution.
		The Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP), which for a quarter of a century was the Ceylonese affiliate of the Fourth International and was by the mid-1980s still the largest of those groups in Sri Lanka claiming to be Trotskyist, is the oldest surviving party in the island.
		Their demand that a new party conference be called to consider the issue was ignored by the majority of the leadership [37].

		The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) in Sri Lanka is holding a public meeting in Colombo on March 29 to conclude its general election campaign.
		Along with its sister parties of the International Committee of the Fourth International, the SEP is aiming to develop a global counter-offensive against imperialism, uniting the working masses in Sri Lanka with their class brothers and sisters in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the advanced capitalist countries.
		At the same time, the party has made clear that the only genuinely progressive means of ending the catastrophic 20-year civil war is through the development of an independent political movement of the working class and rural masses—whether Sinhalese, Tamil, Muslim or Christian—for the Socialist United States of Sri Lanka and Eelam.

		The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) calls on workers, young people, intellectuals and housewives to support and participate in our campaign for the November 17 presidential election in Sri Lanka.
		The SEP is standing not simply to win votes in Sri Lanka but to initiate a discussion throughout the Indian subcontinent on the necessity for workers to adopt a socialist program and perspective.
		Time and again over the past half-century, governments of all political complexions in Sri Lanka and throughout the subcontinent have proven incapable of addressing the most basic needs and aspirations of the masses.

		The party has unswervingly fought to defend the independent interests and basic rights of the Kayts fisherman and their families against the depredations of the Sri Lankan military, the Colombo regime and its political agents in the north.
		We call on all Tamil organisations, in Sri Lanka and internationally, to join with us in urgently demanding that the LTTE publicly and unconditionally repudiate its local officials’ contemptible threats, as well as their assault on the SEP’s democratic right to conduct political work in the north.
		In March 2000, local officials of the Eelam People’s Democratic Party (EPDP) physically assaulted members and supporters of the SEP who were leading the struggle of local fishermen against ongoing harassment and attacks by the Sri Lankan military on their livelihoods and daily lives.

	Socialist Equality Party raises its U.S. profile
		Labor party work was the main preoccupation of the ICFI as a whole, at the time a larger organization headed in England by Gerry Healy.
		David North, a leader of this tendency in the U.S. then and now, attributed the split to "longstanding political rot in the leadership." By the leadership, he meant Healy and his associates, who North felt were dragging the ICFI in a non-revolutionary direction.
		Hansen was a respected leader in the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), the first Trotskyist party in the U.S. The Workers League also financed a decade-long court battle in which former SWP member Alan Gelfand asked a judge to "fire" one whole committee of national SWP leaders, claiming they were FBI or Kremlin agents.

	WSWS : About the ICFI
		The International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI) is the leadership of the world socialist movement, the Fourth International founded by Leon Trotsky in 1938.
		At that time Eduard Berstein, then a leading figure in the SPD, argued that capitalism was not leading to collapse or social disaster and could be gradually reformed, rather than replaced by an insurrectionary movement of the working class.
		Inasmuch as this failure has been demonstrated over several decades on an international scale, one is led inescapably to search for its objective causes -- both in the socio-economic environment within which the trade unions now exist and, even more fundamentally, in the essential nature of the trade unions themselves.

		And while you take great pains to distinguish this stand from the rest of Sri Lanka's reactionary left movements, your underlying logic is essentially the same.
		Rather, your party's ideas have to be seen in terms of the material impact they have on a given situation - that is how their objective character is determined.
		And what I think your party has to consider is whether what you are saying at this time and in this place is a help or hinderance to the nation al liberation of a traumatised and much-abused people who are currently under the heel of foreign military occupation - by yours and my nation.
