United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has said that Sri Lankan Tamils should no longer qualify for refugee status in other lands. UNHCR said in its new report that Lanka Tamils are no longer in need of international protection as human rights and security situation has improved in the island nation, since the end of the war against LTTE. It also noted that the end of the armed conflict has resulted in reduction in the number of Sri Lankans seeking international protection. The UNHCR report said about two and a half lakh persons had left displacement camps to return to their places of origin or live with host families, relatives and friends.
