The Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka: The Global Failure to Protect Tamil Rights Under International Law is a book by Francis Boyle on the final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War, Tamil genocide and its war crimes. [1] [2] The United Nations, which has acknowledged its calamitous failures under the Responsibility to Protect doctrine, is still trying to tally the numbers and apportion the blame, four years on: 40,000 to 70,000 Tamil civilians killed over five months of the final conflagration, the number the UN now accepts, though many argue the figure is far higher.
