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.

Commonwealth members should follow the example of Canada and refused to attend CHOGM if it is hosted by the Sri Lankan government. Sri Lanka is in clear violation of many of the principles held by members of the Commonwealth and by participating in the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Sri Lanka, Commonwealth members are condoning Sri Lanka's abuses in human rights on its ethnic minorities.
