This peace accord establishes the basis for a federation between the northern and eastern sections of Sri Lanka and the rest of the country. It restores the Tamil language as an official one. thus removing a longstanding grievance of the Tamil community. This peace accord also allows for the repatriation of 100.000 Tamils who have been made refugees in India. While this accord is of overriding significance. it should be noted that it is one in a series of IndoSri Lankan agreements aimed at effecting a negotiated settlement of IndoSri Lankan bilateral problems. It is my fervent hope that this agreement will be an effective assurance that the human rights of the Tamil minority. long grossly ignored. will at last be respected.
