Summary

Recognizes that the costly military stalemate that has existed between the Government of Sri Lanka and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam should be resolved at the negotiating table.

Expresses the belief that a political solution, including appropriate constitutional structures and adequate protection of minority rights and cessation of violence, is the path to a comprehensive and lasting peace in Sri Lanka.

Calls on all parties to negotiate in good faith with a view to finding a just and lasting political settlement to Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict while respecting Sri Lanka's territorial integrity.

States the willingness of the Senate in principle to see the United States lend its good offices to play a constructive role in supporting the peace process, if so desired by all parties to the conflict.

Calls on members of the international community to use their good offices to support the peace process and, as appropriate, lend assistance to the reconstruction of war-damaged areas of Sri Lanka and to reconciliation among all parties to the conflict.
