Former Army Commander Jagath Jayasuriya completed his stint as Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Brazil and arrived in Sri Lanka last week. It would appear that just as he was leaving Brazil, some international human rights groups had filed war crimes lawsuits against him in Brazil and Colombia. According to international news reports on the matter, the petitioners had alleged that Jayasuriya oversaw military units that attacked hospitals and killed and tortured thousands of civilians. There was of course no risk of Jayasuriya being arrested in Brazil because he had diplomatic immunity as an Ambassador. But the petitioners obviously wanted to make it untenable for him to remain in that position. However, Jayasuriya didn’t really lose anything because his term as Ambassador was over in any case.
