<p>I remain concerned by the current inter-communal violence in Sri Lanka, and have
written to Foreign Minister Marapana setting out my views. We support the government's
determination to end it swiftly, using measures that are proportionate and respect
human rights, and urge it to hold the perpetrators to account. It is vital that all
leaders in Sri Lanka condemn violence and hate, and make every effort to promote harmony.</p><p>The
UK is committed to supporting government and civil society efforts to improve human
rights in Sri Lanka. We are currently funding a range of projects through a multi-year
Conflict Stability and Security Fund programme to promote inter-faith and inter-communal
dialogue and dispute resolution at local level in eastern Sri Lanka, one of the most
diverse regions.</p>
