Notes
- ^ Internally displaced: Sri Lanka has over 600,000 people who are internally displaced due to the effect of the Sri Lankan civil war since 1983 and the 2004 Tsunami. They live in refugee camps and resettlement villages unable to go back to their original place of residence due to security concerns and lack of infrastructure. Most are looked after by a combination of help from the local communities, the government, NGO's and international aid agencies such as UNHCR.
- ^ Restrictions: Various Sri Lankan governments have treated media freedom based on the perceived security requirements since the inception of the civil war. In 2007 there was severe restrictions on what media outlets can and cannot publish along with physical threats to journalists who do not self censor their reports. Some have been murdered or threats of murders have been issued to others. Foreign journalists generally do not have access to rebel LTTE held areas.
