The charges had to do with the 1971 parliamentary elections, when civil servants improperly assisted in Gandhi's campaign. Gandhi's critics immediately began to call for her to resign her office but she refused. In November 1975, the Supreme Court of India overturned Gandhi's conviction.

By helping to resolve Sri Lanka's internal war, the United States is making an important contribution to regional stability and the global war on terrorism. In addition, the U.S. national interest is served by further promoting free markets, transparency, rule of law and respect for workers' rights, in order to integrate fully Sri Lanka into the global economy and provide greater opportunities for U.S. goods, services, and capital. Despite all the negative events over the past year, the December 2001 change in government has injected optimism into the populace that a peaceful solution to the war can be found and that the economy will recover from the recent downturn. In one of its first moves, the new government requested Norway to restart the talks that could lead to a peace agreement with the LTTE. In response, the LTTE unilaterally declared a one-month cease-fire "to give peace a chance" and the government reciprocated.

The new government is one of the friendliest to the United States in Sri Lankan history and was very supportive of the United States in the aftermath of the events of September 11, 2001. By helping to resolve Sri Lanka’s internal war, the United States is making an important contribution to regional stability and the global war on terrorism. In addition, the U.S. national interest is served by further promoting free markets, transparency, rule of law and respect for workers’ rights, in order to integrate fully Sri Lanka into the global economy and provide greater opportunities for U.S. goods, services, and capital. Sri Lanka weathered a year of internal political and economic stress. The fighting intensified in its 18-year war in the north and east, and included an attack on the international airport by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). Political instability led to the postponement of its parliament for two months; and two of the most violent parliamentary elections in history occurred over a 14-month period. Exports declined by over 8%; the budget deficit rose to nearly 10% of gross domestic product; exchange reserves dropped from $2.6 billion to $2.1 billion, and gross national product growth plunged from an annual average rate of 5.5% in the 1990’s to minus 0.6%. Adding to the country’s economic woes, as a result of the previous government’s failure to meet budget expenditure terms, the International Monetary Fund postponed further drawdown of its Standby Agreement Facility after Sri Lanka had withdrawn only $131 million of the agreement’s $253 million total.

    Extractions: The need for an inter-governmental centre on integrated rural development was articulated in the early 1970s at a time when the countries of the region were economically depressed and rural poverty was endemic. Most of the countries had initiated rural development programmes and the integrated approach to planning and implementation of these programmes was gaining currency. It was recognized that the integrated rural development programmes that had been initiated by the individual countries could be greatly facilitated through regional co-operation and the establishment of national institutions and through co-operation with such institutions. The 1974 World Food Conference and the 12 th FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Far East held in Tokyo urged early action in establishing a regional centre. The FAO ad hoc Consultation on Collaboration in Selected Rural Development Activities held in 1975 endorsed this proposal. The FAO convened a consultation in 1976 to discuss the proposal, which included the terms of reference, constitution, structure and funding of the centre. It was at this consultation that the governments agreed to the name Centre on Integrated Rural Development for Asia and the Pacific(CIRDAP). The decision to establish CIRDAP was made in 1977 by the Asian Group of Permanent Representatives to FAO, who also decided to have the seat of the Centre in Bangladesh. The Agreement to establish CIRDAP, prepared under the auspices of FAO, was adopted by the Conference of Plenipotentiaries during the 14th FAO Regional Conference for Asia and the Far East held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 1978.
