Closed Projects

Since 1981, PBI has worked in eleven countries worldwide. Several of these projects have been closed, because conflicts have reduced, or funding was cut, or for other reasons. Find out more about our closed projects here:

Sri Lanka Project

From October 1989 to April 1998, Peace Brigades International provided unarmed protective accompaniment to Sri Lankan individuals, organizations and communities threatened by violence.

Team members accompanied Buddhist monks on a peace march, investigated reports of illegal detention centers, accompanied threatened lawyers, street demonstrations and pickets.

They also acted as international observers, networked with government, diplomatic and NGO representatives on the island, and wrote regular reports on the political/human rights situation in Sri Lanka.
