Thimpu principles

The Thimpu principles or Thimpu Declaration were a set of four demands put forward by the Sri Lankan Tamil delegation at the first peace talks undertaken regarding the Sri Lankan civil war. The peace talks which were organised by the Indian government took place in Thimphu, Bhutan with Phase I occurring from 8 to 13 July 1985 and Phase II from 12 to 17 August 1985. The peace talks aimed at bringing an end to the Sri Lankan civil war between Sri Lankan Tamil militant groups and the government of Sri Lanka. The declaration made by the Tamil delegation at Thimphu, in response to a government proposal, has come to be known as the Thimpu Declaration or Thimpu principles.
