- This book explores the complex relationship between minority rights, self-determination and secession within international law by contextualising these issues in an extended case study of the rise of Tamil separatism in Sri Lanka. The single study required lengthy and detailed analysis of the development of the conflict and was best suited to a monograph. It was the first to trace the evolution of how Tamil communalism developed into a quest for secession and the major role the language of international law and International human rights played in the argument for secession.
