Some
of the Action Plans:
1)Calling
for a promulgation of a Freedom Charter for Tamil Eelam incorporating the
“Freedom Demands” of the Tamil-speaking people. (These “Freedom Demands” will be
ascertained through Town Hall meetings, electronic and print
media).
2)Calling for an Economic Boycott and Divestment Campaign.
3)Calling on the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to appoint an International Commission of Inquiry, under Article 99 of the UN Charter. According to the recent UN Internal Review Report on Sri Lanka, this step was recommended by the UN Secretary General’s own legal team in 2009.
4)Declaring 2013 as the year to Empower Women of Tamil Eelam and to take steps to achieve specific goals. TGTE considers that this will be a stepping stone to uplift the Tamil community affected by the war and will give special attention to the 90,000 Tamil war widows.
5)Calling for assistance to Hero’s families. As a first step, the “Thalir” program was launched with the aim of providing assistance to 1,000 Hero’s families by the next National Day of Mourning on May 18, 2013.
6)Condemning the attack on Jaffna University students and calling for steps to secure the release of the students who were arrested for peacefully remembering Martyr’s Day.
