Comments on: Vote Sri Lanka off Human Rights Council, Nobel Prize Winners tell UN http://transcurrents.com/tamiliana/archives/641 Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:56:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: ilaya seran senguttuvan http://transcurrents.com/tamiliana/archives/641/comment-page-1#comment-26661 ilaya seran senguttuvan Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:04:44 +0000 http://transcurrents.com/tamiliana/archives/641#comment-26661 Ratnam Ganesh (1) The word "Terrorist" used in the Lankan context is meaningless. Are those men of the State militia who slaughtered the 15 unarmed French NGO workers in Trinco not the worst form of Terrorists? And those who did to death those young boys in the Trinco beach in execution style - after extinguishing the electric lights and forcing over 200 people to kneel - not Terrorists? Why does not the local Press and indeed the international media tell the world the Dehiwala train blast and the Malabe bus bombing took place hours after Tamil children, women etc were slaughtered in the Wanni? I am not suggesting an eye-for-an-eye or tit-for-tat while dealing with human lives - no matter Sinhala, Muslim or Tamil. But is it not true almost every "Terrorist" attack from the Tamil side - including that of July 83 at Tinnevli -is usually a response to a brutal and lethal attack on innocent Tamils? I am afraid the international stricture on GoSL at Geneve is one of the many that will follow for the hundreds of crimes Lankan armed forces have carried out against Tamil civilians. Just don't waste time insulting Carter, Bisop Tutu and Esquivel. Do Lankans realise their lovely country is now in the middle of total bankruptcy not because of the LTTE and the war. Because of the mass stealing by those in power in the name of the war - that has still not ceased. It shall'nt be long before the people are forced to learn we have no money to finance our immediate food bills. When this comes CBK will be in her mini Palace in London, the Rajapakses in their mansions in L.A. but Somapala and Suppiah will be left scratching the earth for their next meal. Already the Govt is hinting people must grow their own food - have you noticed? That is what our politicians in the past few decades have done to this our country. They have made us a basket-case and a land and peope to be scorned by the rest of the world. Ratnam Ganesh (1) The word “Terrorist” used in the Lankan context is meaningless.

Reason not enough funds to proceed with the inquiry.The Indian Chief Justice went back saying "Truth cannot be extracted". Whatever the outcome - the tears & blood of innocent will continue to wet the soil of this Country. Abductions, extortions, Killings, continue. Yes - there is always some excuse - a believable lie - that can save the skin of the politicos. The Presidential inquiries failed.

The UN is a Defunct Worthless organization that is Fat and Bloated with Incompetence and a Lack of Grip of reality. I say why even contest it. Let them kick Sri Lanka off. UN Aid comes with too much Political baggage. Once we take care of the Terrorist Problem the Investment dollars will be flooding in. We Don't Need the UN, and we definitely don't need to take any orders from these Bleeding Heart westerners and their Delusional perception of world politics and War. Who Cares?

The Human rights situation is deteriorating further in Sri Lanka. in the recently concluded Eastern Provincial Council election, massive intimidation and mass rigging by the armed TMVP cadres is reported. TNA, the major actor in the East boycotted the election. What has beeen revealed in the elections is that the Sinhala nation (SN) and their political parties are still hell bent on ramming their will unilaterally on the Tamils of the East. there is deterioration in human rights instead of improvement. The SN has proved yet again that it has no "character". It does not value truthfulness, fairness and honesty. Character is not valued much in this region. Human rights are grossly violated in India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. India values money more than character ! India is an accopmlice and silent supporter of Sri Lanka in its Human Rights violations. Mahinda Rajapakse promised the position of Chief Minister to the Tamil speaking-religo group obtaining the maximum number of seats. But Hisbulla was denied that position unfairly. Promises are meant to kept, but promises are meant to be broken with Tamils ! A slave can be cheated. He has no right is the attitude. TMVP has surrendered spirit, soul and body to UPFA. A surrendered party cannot be expected at all to get any of its policy fulfilled by its master. A slave is a slave. SN never ever honoured agreements with Tamils. It is not in their culture. What we see in the list of TMVP is the usual deceptive rhetoric. SN being cynical about Eelam is to be cynical about reality. An island with two governments is being accepted and recommended as the only viable and workable solution now. An eminent internantional ex-jurist from Australia presented a paper last week in Wales, requesting the International Community to seriously and quickly implement such a policy of two government for Sri Lanka. Therefore, Sri Lanka should be voted out of the prestigous United Nations Human Rights Council. If the situation does not improve after such a punishment, the UN should expel Sri Lanka from the General Council of the UN, as it happened to former South Africa.
