"Commemoration volume for Dr. Rajani Thiranagama, 23rd February 1954-21st September 1989, founder member of the UTHR(J), who bequeathed to human rights activism a vision and direction to protect human dignity amidst terror & counter-terror & the golden jubilee of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (10th December 1948) which, by providing a universally binding legal foundation for the elimination of oppression, has been a beacon to people in despair."
Covers mainly events of the post-1948 political scene in Sri Lanka.
