The <entity_0> (CHOGM; /ˈtʃɒɡəm/) was held in Colombo, <entity_1>, from 15 to 17 November 2013. <entity_1>, which was originally slated to host the <entity_2> in 2011, was accused of committing atrocities during the Sri Lankan civil war and the <entity_2> was instead held in Perth, Australia; Colombo was given the 2013 <entity_2> instead. The leaders of Canada, Mauritius, and India boycotted the <entity_2>, citing alleged human rights violations by <entity_1> against its Tamil minority. There were significant calls from many bodies not to host the <entity_2> in <entity_1> and to boycott the event, because of the country's alleged poor human rights record and reported atrocities against the Tamil population in the country. Prime Minister of Canada Stephen Harper stated that he would not attend the meeting as a protest at <entity_1>'s alleged failure to improve its human rights record, as he said he would at the previous CHOGM; the Canadian Prime Minister had previously walked out of the 2011 <entity_2> during its last day when Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa was invited to speak. The Prime Minister of Mauritius, Navin Ramgoolam, stated that he would not attend the meeting as a protest at <entity_1>'s alleged failure to improve its human rights record and was thus withdrawing as the host of CHOGM 2015 as protocol would have required him to attend the <entity_2> in order to personally invite other member states.
