The incisive analysis of the facts revealed in these Books ought be examined and reviewed in the context of the mandatory duties and obligations to be observed and performed on the part of State Parties to the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, to which Convention, Sri Lanka became one of the first State Parties by ratifying the Convention on 31st March 2004.

Nihal Sri Ameresekere, a multi-disciplinary professional, well exposed to private and public sectors, is a public interest activist in Sri Lanka, with wide international exposure. Not a legal professional, yet has appeared in person before the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka, the highest judiciary, successfully advocating public interest litigations, with the expansion into human rights and civil society responsibility. He is a forensic accounting investigative specialist. Has extensively published incisive exposés, and dispassionately spoken out on matters of national and public interest. Ardently upholds the sacred precept, that public property and finance is solely of the people, and managed in fiduciary trust by governments; transgression of which he has committedly combated, fearlessly standing up against powerful politicians, bureaucrats and businessmen; whilst castigating compromising and conniving professionals, who act in breach of the contractual responsibility to society, whilst pontificating otherwise.

What is emphasized is that ‘economic terrorism’ germinates ‘armed terrorism’, resulting in the violation of human rights. ‘Concerns of humanity, transcends interests of nationality’, propounds the Author. Poverty alleviation schemes merely replace, at the cost of the poor, their own resources pillaged and plundered by socio-politically influential. Politicians vigorously campaign on election platforms, vociferously decrying fraud and corruption, vowing stringent action thereon. However, upon assuming office of government, get bogged down in the very quagmire of fraud and corruption, invariably peddled by powerful multinationals, acting in cahoots and collusion, with political financiers and lackeys, alarmingly including professionals – as lucidly demonstrated through a series of other publications on the Author’s real life experiences thereon, which has material relevance to people in other countries, who are confronted with similar issues and problems.
