Naga Diaries

Nagas are semi-divine, semi-human spirits in Indian and Southeast Asian mythology. Notes from a traveler: "He did not think of himself as a tourist; he was a traveler. The difference was partly one of time, he would explain. Whereas the tourist generally hurries back home at the end of a few weeks or months, the traveler, belonging no more to one place than the next, moves slowly, over periods of years, from one part of the earth to another. " — Paul Bowles (The Sheltering Sky)

For similar behaviour and policies, members have been suspended from the commonwealth, but instead Sri Lanka is rewarded with hosting CHOGM. Australia already has a questionable human rights record with its refugee policies, so attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Sri Lanka will further degrade their reputation in the international community. We should follow the example set by Canada and refuse to attend CHOGM in Sri Lanka.
