Sri Lanka Alert is a Think Tank to promote a common understanding among all Sri Lankans on the role of foreign intervention and its threat to Peace, Human Rights in its proper perspective, Development and National Unity as well as to safeguard the sovereignty, prevent secession and preserve the territorial integrity of Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka Alert intends to share experiences and lessons from countries which have undergone violence and conflict situations similar to Sri Lanka, where interventions, contrary to ceasing hostilities and eliminating terrorism have led to the deterioration and fragmentation of the relevant countries.

Among the many objectives of Sri Lanka Alert, our primary goal will be,

" To advocate national unity, democracy, good governance and human rights in Sri Lanka so that all ethnic communities are free to participate in decision making but could do so within the context of a secure and unitary State which is free of violence and terrorism and which is empowered and protected from intervention.
" To promote respect for the human rights of all communities through advocacy to strengthen the judiciary, law enforcement systems and methods of governance, maintaining transparency at all times.
" To promote collective action by all Sri Lankans against foreign intervention as a common endeavor to prevent further deterioration of security, and fragmentation of the country, due to the multiple threats of terrorism, violence and intervention and evil forces.To this end, Sri Lanka Alert will launch a Website and Publications which focus on,
" Sharing information and analysis of countries similar to Sri Lanka, which have undergone prolonged terrorism and violence, and where intervention has been introduced in various forms and degrees.
" Assessing and determining the root causes of the Sri Lankan conflict and share such knowledge, with power sharing and democratic structures, as well as with the general public in a participatory manner.
" Supporting and strengthening national structures and systems necessary to promote good governance, judicial processes and effective law enforcement which are essential to preserve the rights of all communities.
" Protecting Sri Lanka from multinational and foreign influences which support terrorism in an overt or covert manner, and thereby protect the human rights of all citizens irrespective of discrimination.
