STATEMENT MADE BY DEPUTY FOREIGN MINISTER
VIDAR HELGESEN 14 NOVEMBER 2003
Over the past days we have had a large number
of meetings, including three with Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe,
two with President Chandrika Bandanaraike Kumaratunga and one yesterday
with LTTE leader Velupillai Prabakharan.
Yesterday, in our meeting with the LTTE
in Kilinochchi, Mr Prabakharan asked for a guarantee that the Ceasefire
Agreement (CFA) would be respected. In particular he wanted an assurance
that the freedom of movement for political cadres be respected in areas
held by the Government. We have received very clear assurances that the
CFA will be respected and that the Sri Lankan Armed Forces (SLAF) are instructed
to continue extending their full co-operation with
the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission. The freedom
of operation and the security of SLMM personnel is of particular importance
to the Nordic countries participating in the SLMM.
The international community has shown a
remarkable degree of support and interest for the peace process in Sri
Lanka. The amount of money pledged in the donor conferences in Oslo in
November last year and in Tokyo in June this year clearly demonstrates
the commitment of the international community to assisting Sri Lanka in
its efforts for peace.
Since last week, however, developments that
are not part and parcel of the peace process have changed that picture
dramatically. The resumption of peace talks is seriously impeded by the
political crisis in the south. This has disturbed the peace process and
caused serious concerns in the international community.
We deem this a very serious situation. Not
because the peace process is fragile, but because it might be made fragile.
Even though most concerned parties and players pledge their commitment
to upholding the ceasefire, and even though there is overwhelming public
support for the peace process, we need to make clear that the ceasefire
will be much more difficult to sustain in a political vacuum. If progress
in the political negotiations is made impossible, the ceasefire will become
increasingly fragile.
It is clearly not, and it has never been,
within Norway’s mandate to facilitate between the political parties in
the south. As far as our mandate goes, we have one clear conclusion: Peace
talks could have started tomorrow, provided there were clarity about who
is holding political authority and responsibility on behalf of the Government
to ensure the continuation of the ceasefire agreement and the resumption
of peace negotiations. Until last week there was such clarity.
Today there is no such clarity.
Until such clarity is re-established, there
is no space for further efforts by the Norwegian government to assist the
parties.
