| dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the ongoing threat posed by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
(LTTE) and its supporters, following its defeat in Sri Lanka’s civil war in 2009. The
paper explores the LTTE’s new tactics, including the use of online falsehoods, lobbying,
law making, and litigation In recent years, the LTTE has been actively engaging
in political lobbying, both domestically and internationally, to advance its separatist
agenda. Additionally, the LTTE has made use of online platforms to spread propaganda,
disinformation, and fake news to further its cause.This shift in the modus operandi by
the LTTE re ects a broader trend towards non-violent activism and the use of modern
communication technologies. The study intends to highlight the fact that LTTE has
changed the conventional war tactic mode, therefore Sri Lanka should take measure
to protect the country and it’s national security from LTTE’s new modus operandi.
Through qualitative research methods, including a literature review, expert interviews,
and case studies, the paper highlights the need for Sri Lanka and the international
community to address this threat seriously. The research ndings reveal that the LTTE’s
supporters have shifted their tactics to spread propaganda and misinformation, lobby
governments and international organizations, and engage in law making and litigation to
challenge Sri Lanka’s sovereignty. The paper recommends a comprehensive approach that
includes countering online falsehoods through public awareness campaigns, combating
lobbying e orts through engagement with governments and international organizations,
and defending against legal challenges through legal means. The paper concludes that
the LTTE’s change in modus operandi presents a signi cant threat to Sri Lanka’s stability
and sovereignty and emphasizes the need for Sri Lanka to remain vigilant and take action
to counter this threat e ectively. | en_US |
