Protect Sri Lanka is a Think Tank to promote a common understanding among all Sri Lankans on the role of foreign interventions and its threat to peace, development and national unity as well as to safeguard the sovereignty, prevent secession and preserve the territorial integrity of Sri Lanka.

Protect Sri Lanka consists of a Group of Intellectuals and Professionals, who are renowned for their unwavering commitment to preserve the territorial integrity and independence of Sri Lanka and protect the interests of the Nation.

Among the many objectives of Protect Sri Lanka, the primary objectives will be,

* To advocate national unity, democracy, good governance and human rights in Sri Lanka so that all ethnic communities are free to participate in decision making but could do so within the context of a secure and unitary State which is free of violence and terrorism and which is empowered and protected from intervention.

* To promote respect for the human rights of all communities through advocacy to strengthen the judiciary, law enforcement systems and methods of governance, maintaining transparency at all times.

* To promote collective action by all Sri Lankans against foreign intervention as a common endeavour to prevent further deterioration of security, and fragmentation of the country, due to the multiple threats of terrorism, violence and intervention.
