The Tamil genocide, also known as the Sri Lankan Tamil genocide, or the Eelam Tamil genocide, refers to the various acts of physical violence and cultural destruction committed against the Tamil population in Sri Lanka during the ethnic conflict, particularly the Sri Lankan civil war. Various commenters have accused the Sri Lankan state of responsibility for and complicity in Tamil genocide and point to state-sponsored settler colonialism, state-backed pogroms, and mass killings, enforced disappearances and sexual violence by the security forces as examples of genocidal acts.[8][9][10][11][12][13] The conflict and its brutal end have sparked an international debate and they have also led to calls for accountability and justice.[14][15][16]
