Book on Transitional Justice and Women Combatants in Sri Lanka was the outcome of a challenging and interesting research project conducted by me as part of WISCOMP annual fellowship for special projects- 2005. The study looks at how Sri Lanka could successfully Disarm, Demobilize and Reintegrate (DDR) Sri Lankan Army and LTTE women combatants after the civil war of the country. Strategically planned out DDR process considering the needs and rights of the targeted community is an important aspect after an end of a war situation in order to ensure sustainable peace and reconciliation.

Protecting the Post-Tsunami Displaced Persons: Critical Analysis of the Sri Lankan Experience
The book on ‘Protecting the Post-Tsunami Displaced Persons: Critical Analysis of the Sri Lankan Experience’ written by me, will be published this month by Culcutta Research Group, India. It is an analysis of how and how not Sri Lanka has attempted to protect the victims of the Tsunami during the relief, rehabilitation and the reconciliation phases. The book is inclusive of an analysis of the human rights instruments, mechanisms established or mandated to protect IDPs; its applicability in the post-Tsunami context in Sri Lanka; and the human rights issues faced by the IDPs.
