Abstract :
The Tamil demand for autonomy and security led to the militant response. The state starts to address this with violence and massacres killing for a start with 7000 Tamil civilians from 1983 to 1987. The Norwegians had drafted the text of the treaty. The united national front came victorious in December 2001 general elections. Since the President and the Prime Minister came from rival camps the Prime minister signed the agreement that had no constitutional authority to sign on war and peace .That authority rested with the political rival Kumaratunga. The indo-srilanka accord of 1987 failed among other reasons, because the tigers were not interested and the Norwegian initiative which resulted in a ceasefire in February 2002 collapsed after mutual accusations of faith. Two weeks notice was given to Norway on January 2 and from January 14; there will be neither a dejure nor a defacto ceasefire. The LTTE began going against the spirit and letter of CFA. All out war that began in 2006 did see that CFA was observed more in breach than in practice by both the parties. The country had slipped into chaos that Sri lankan monitoring mission (SLMM) an offshoot of the CFA decided in April 2007 to suspend rulings of ceasefire violation. Rajapaksa demanded that a negotiated political settlement need to be carried out even with the abrogation of the CFA. Replacement of Norway as the peace negotiator was another election pledge.
