We Learn the following lessons from the principles of Majoritarianism and accommodation followed in Sri Lanka and Belgium:

(i)  In Belgium, the leaders respected the feelings and interests of all communities and were successful in maintaining the unity of the country. They recognised  the existence of regional differences and cultural diversities. They took various  steps such as amendments to the constitution in order to work out an arrangement that would enable everyone to live together  within the same country. The arrangement such as equal number of ministers of Dutch and French-speaking people has worked successfully.

(ii) On the other hand, majority community in Sri Lanka tried to force its dominance over other communities. It has brought the country nearer to a civil war and unity of the country is threatened. this shows the path of accommodation is better than that of Majoritarianism  and power sharing must be followed.
