Advocating for Transitional Justice, Universal Jurisdiction, and Civil Liberties for Eelam Tamils
Welcome
Tamil Rights Group (TRG) is a newly established international not-for-profit organisation (Corporation No. 1230398-1), headquartered in Markham, Canada, that seeks to further strengthen advocacy efforts for transitional justice and universal jurisdiction for Eelam Tamils through leveraging international law, expanding global diplomacy, and defending their civil liberties within Sri Lanka. To this new chapter, TRG brings together a multigenerational team, deep networks within civil society in the traditional homelands and across the diaspora, and activists directly connected to the struggle for Eelam Tamil rights since the early 1970s.
Our Focus
Leverage International Law
Our most pressing goal is to help achieve transitional justice for Eelam Tamils through universal jurisdiction and lawfare.
Expand Global Diplomacy
We seek to expand global diplomacy to renew geopolitical participation and identify new areas of support.
Defend Civil Liberties
Establish a civil liberties union within Sri Lanka to support fundamental rights cases and legislative reform.
