TGTE held its first internationally supervised elections in 12 countries in 2010. These
elections were held to ensure that the core belief of democracy be upheld within the
TGTE and to demonstrate TGTE's belief and reliance upon democratic ideals. TGTE
has a bicameral Legislature and a Cabinet. Although an elected body, TGTE does not
claim to be a government in exile.
The Constitution of the TGTE mandates that it should realize its political objective
only through peaceful means.
TGTE held its second elections in October 2013. Tamils around the world unitedly
elected all the Members of Parliament without contest.
With this election, the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) begins its
2nd Parliamentary Term.
The TGTE promulgated a Freedom Charter on May 18, 2013 incorporating the
“Freedom Demands” of the Tamils across the globe.
Presently, in addition to the campaign for an international investigation, the TGTE is
also campaigning for an International Protection Mechanism and the release of
documents pertaining to Tamils prepared by the Office of the Special Advisor of the
Secretary-General on the Prevention of Genocide.
TGTE believes that the referendum among the Tamils inside the island of Sri Lanka
and the Tamil diaspora will contribute to the political resolution of the Tamil national
conflict.
So far, the human cost has reached 100,000 as it grows. There are also 90,000 Tamil
war widows. Tamil women, especially female bread winners are subject to sexual
abuse by the Sri Lankan security for ???)??????????????????????????????????????((?((
