Hello there! I am a peace student at the MPCT programme in Tromsø.
In the spring term of 2007 I finished my thesis on the moral
dimension of diplomatic peace-making in the Sri Lankan context. Sadly,
also the latest attempt to negotiate a political settlement
of the conflict did not pay off, and today the country is back in a
state of (undeclared) civil war. If you have any comments, questions or
tips you want to share with me, on this topic or regarding any other
matter in the real world, please contact me through e-mail. Thanks,

Elisabeth Dyvik
