Who we are

The Centre for Just Peace and Democracy (CJPD) is an action research centre working towards a negotiated resolution to the armed conflict in Sri Lanka. With approximately a million Tamils living in India, North America, Europe and Australia, the Tamil diaspora has historically played a significant role in the conflict in Sri Lanka. CJPD was founded in 2004 to formalise pre-existing networks of activists and academics in the Tamil diaspora and beyond.
