Nations Without States outlines a busy year ahead

Nations Without States is a new organisation aimed to help vindicate a nation’s right to self-determination, whilst also calling for the concept to be accepted as a basic human right. The organisation also looks to provide a platform that upholds the voice of nations seeking statehood, and encourage co-operation between other self-determinist groups.

On its launch date , 10th December 2012, which coincides with the United Nations declaration of Human Rights, the organisation handed over a declaration to the European Union, United Nations and British Parliament, that called for the categorisation of the right to self-determination as an universal human right.

Sponsored by the National Liberal Party and run by committee members, Jagdeesh Singh, Graham Williamson and Sockalingam Yogalingam, the Nations Without States organisation told Tamil Guardian that 2013 would be a busy year entailing meetings, talks, publications and demonstrations.

The Nations Without States organisation already has over 800 followers on Facebook.

We need your support

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
