An appeal to the Honourable Delegates attending the 25th Session of the UNHuman Rights Council in Geneva-2014.

                                                                        

Honourable Sirs,

USA will be  presenting a Resolution against Sri Lanka  at this Session.  As a patriot of my country  please permit me to address you , to request you please give me a little of your time to inform you  what this resolution is all about, what USA presenting the resolution is trying to hide, and why you should vote against it.   

Japan which suffered most from American aggressivity  in the two atomic bomb attacks in Hiroshima and Nagasaki lost 225,000 deaths of innocent civilians.  Therefore, as a country that honour their death ,Japan  cannot in memory of those who died stand neutral abstaining from voting against the USA resolution against Sri Lanka.  America was the perpetrator of those deaths and spiritually Japan cannot abstain, but vote against American resolution in memory of those who died in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Dear Sirs, please think of one country USA and the West have helped to come out of their poverty and develop to give its people a decent  standard of living.  There is none.  You are from countries that support America blindly, being people of white Nations.  Nevertheless it is worth considering whether  this aggressive diplomacy of America is worth pursuing. 

There is more that could be done by following a more peaceful policy, without this pursuit of leadership challenging the Russian and Chinese influence in the world.  USA and the West could derive more benefits to themselves and contribute to the welfare of developing Nations   by cooperating with Russia and China, without seeking a leadership refusing to accept the tremendous economic and social advance of China and Russia, which follows a non-aggressive, democratic foreign policy.  They do not employ, CIA, NGOs or NEOCOMs to destabilise countries and change regime.

This resolution against Sri Lanka is being presented at the 11^th Anniversary of  the Invasion of Iraq by USA on the 19 March,2003.  It marks  the beginning of a different type of war for balkanisation of developing Nations, and regime change in developing countries, and barring the  Chinese and Russian influence in the world.

China -Russia is a combined emerging world leadership. It is  popular for its generosity and ability to evaluate problems of nations with a democratic attitude, without  demonising  a government in power, getting dissidents and rebels  to agree on  a dialogue laying down arms.  Both China and Russia are a more acceptable leadership for the developing countries, against ungenerous aggressivity of USA and its allies..

USA and the Western forces rallying together like wild wolves, frighten emerging nations, and force them to take distance from them .  Their power is in the likes of NATO Forces and the weight  of their bombs and the number of them which  could be  dropped in one raid on a developing nation in each take off of  their bomber planes.

They call this “humanitarian bombing”.

In 1999, the U.S. national security state — which has been involved throughout the world in subversion, sabotage, terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, and death squads — launched round-the-clock aerial attacks against Yugoslavia for 78 days, dropping 20,000 tons of bombs and killing thousands of women, children, and men. All this was done out of humanitarian concern for Albanians in Kosovo. Or so we were asked to believe. In the span of a few months, President Clinton bombed four countries: Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq repeatedly, and Yugoslavia massively. At the same time, the U.S. was involved in proxy wars in Angola, Mexico (Chiapas), Colombia, East Timor, and various other places. And U.S. forces are deployed on every continent and ocean, with some 300 major overseas support bases — all in the name of peace, democracy, national security, and humanitarianism.

USA and its allies bombed Libya saying it was to save the Libyan people from their Leader Colonel Gaddafi.

"All NATO's targets are military in nature and are directly linked to the Gadhafi regime's systematic attacks on the Libyan people," said Rear Adm. Russell Harding, deputy commander of Operation Unified Protector. "Given the escalating use of naval assets, NATO had no choice but to take decisive action to protect the civilian population of Libya and NATO forces at sea."

The USA and the West are a  force with waning power, now climbing on the shoulders of  dissidents of developing countries. In  Sri Lanka  they have climbed on to the shoulders of  the  anti Sri Lanka Tamil Diaspora, National Tamil Alliance in Sri Lanka with a wife of  a former terrorist Ananthi Sasitharan,  to make their rallying call to defeat the aim of Sri Lanka to become a Nation of a united people. 

USA as it did in the past with its CIA,  infiltrates into countries to create chaos within and force a peoples’ uprising to make the Government and the Leaders to step down.   They did it in Iran against Mosadeq, in Chile against Salvadore Allende , in Congo against Lumumba. They did that in Yugoslavia, Egypt, then in Tunisia. They are doing the same thing in Syria,  Ukraine, and Venezuela.

USA and its Allies are now trying to do that  in Sri Lanka as well, using Human Rights and War Crimes as their new arms.  They are trying to fool some of the  delegates , attending the UNHRCouncil Sessions in Geneva,  presenting  them a  resolution against Sri Lanka  asking them to vote in favour of it.

The delegates from South Africa should note that Even Mandela knew what USA is capable of, “When Mandela was taken to the ruins of Gaddafi’s compound in Tripoli, which was bombed by the Reagan administration in 1986 in an attempt to murder the entire Gaddafi family, he(Mandela) said:

“No country can claim to be the policeman of the world and no state can dictate to another what it should do. Those that yesterday were friends of our enemies have the gall today to tell me not to visit my brother Gaddafi. They are advising us to be ungrateful and forget our friends of the past.” (http://thepowerhous.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/mandela-and-gaddafi-the-myth-of-the-saint-and-the-mad-dog/)

USA and its allies propose an International investigation in Sri Lanka to study what happened when the terrorists were finally eliminated.  In reality USA and its allies  have no right to propose this in respect of Sri Lanka, without subjecting themselves to an International Investigation into their own war crimes in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yugoslavia, and also those civilian deaths in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Vietnam.

Sri Lanka had appointed its  own Commission  LLRC to study how terrorism had affected the people and the country,  and whether there had been violation of human right in the course of  the elimination of the terrorists. It examined the divers problems  that had resulted in the course of the elimination of terrorism and made recommendations to redress the wrongs and proposed actions to be taken to reconcile the Communities.  

But  USA and its allies do not accept the  Commissioners  of the LLRC, even though they were learned, highly qualified  people.  Some of them  having even Studied in Foreign Universities. The reason why USA and the West do not accept the LLRC is because the Commissioners even if they were qualified were black locals.   Had there been at least one European or an American even less qualified than the local blacks,  USA and the West may have accepted the report and not requested an International Investigation as they are now insisting in the USA Resolution against Sri Lanka.

But the colour  does not matter  for the USA and the West to accept all false stories concocted by Ananthi Sasitharan the wife of a terrorist as the truth, because it suits them.

USA and the West have been able to destabilise many developing countries  by instigating the people to rise against the governments in place such as Egypt, Tunisia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and Venezuela. There are a new set of neocon activists, the CIA and NGOs  infiltrating into the countries using their Embassies in these countries as their centres of activity. They buy the people on to their side  tempting  them with promises they never keep to rise up in groups and masses against the elected Government. 

They are planning such an uprising in Sri Lanka to make a situation where they could intervene with their own armed forces and bombs shattering into rubble the five years of infrastructure developed of Sri Lanka that is being carried out by the President Mahinda Rajapakse and his Government.

As it has  not been easy in Sri Lanka  for USA and its allies to  divert the allegiance of the people to the President and his government,  as they made it happen in  Egypt, Tunisia, Yugoslavia, Ukraine or Venezuela, and create an artificial uprising of the people, USA and the West befriended the Tamil people in the North of Sri Lanka. 

In order to strengthen this relationship with the Tamils of the North, USA has presented the Resolution against Sri Lanka at this session of the UNHRC in Geneva.  The passing of the USA Resolution against Sri Lanka would be their trump card to win the Tamil people of the North on to their side.

That would then be the spring board from which the USA and its allies with the help of the  anti Sri Lanka Tamil Diaspora and the Local pro terrorist politicians of the Tamil National Alliance who have formed the Provincial Council in the North,  will  move to separate the North of Sri Lanka from the rest of the country.

Honourable Delegates, this is the possible scenario USA and its allies are preparing in presenting this Resolution. They will ask you to support their Resolution against Sri Lanka, but please remember that this may happen in your own country, and it will  then be your turn to face similar resolutions in the UNHRC in Geneva. 

USA and the West want to retain their leadership in the world and to do that they will sacrifice every developing Nation they have been able to  fool to follow them.

Honourable Delegates you  should stop this from happening and therefore support Sri Lanka which is one amoung you, and vote against the USA Resolution against Sri Lanka.

Sri Lanka has done nothing wrong to be put in the box of an accused and to be treated like a war criminal.  Sri Lanka only eliminated a group of terrorists that terrorised its people massacring and assassinating them,and caused great destruction to land and property.  The war against terrorists in Sri Lanka  was a just war. In a war against  ruthless terrorism one cannot  be accused for violation of human rights and war crimes.

It is different from the wars that USA and its allies carried out in Iraq , Afghanistan, Yugoslavia, and Libya.  In those wars the America was fighting in foreign countries against foreigners and there was no necessity for them to be careful about who got killed in their bomb attacks.

But in Sri Lanka the terrorists were its own people and Sri Lanka Armed Forces  fought that war  within its own territory. And knowing that they are fighting in their own country against a group of terrorist sprung from amoung them, were careful when fighting against the terrorists not to put in danger the lives of the Tamil civilians and their property. 

This USA and its allies would not accept as it does not help them in their object of  territorial separation of Sri Lanka

All the accusations USA are making against Sri Lanka  in presenting their resolution are false.  The violation of human rights and war crimes they accuse the SL Government and its Armed Forces to have committed at the last phase of the elimination of terrorism are false  as they are based primarily on hear say evidence and fictitious films of horror made by UK Channel 4 using modern technology.

USA accuses the presence of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces in the North.  It is Normal that Sri Lanka maintains its armies in the North which is a part of Sri Lanka.  It is essential for security purposes and to ensure that there would be no  possibility for another group of terrorists to re-immerge.

Diego Garcia American Military Base in Indian Oceran

USA which accuses Sri Lanka for the presences of its armed forces in its own country, is hiding the fact that USA maintains 737 Military Bases in 63 countries outside USA deploying 255 065  USA Military personnel.

“These facilities include a total of 845,441 different buildings and equipments. The underlying land surface is of the order of 30 million acres. According to Gelman, who examined 2005 official Pentagon data, the US is thought to own a total of 737 bases in foreign lands. Adding to the bases inside U.S. territory, the total land area occupied by US military bases domestically within the US and internationally is of the order of 2,202,735 hectares, which makes the Pentagon one of the largest landowners worldwide (Gelman, J., 2007).

Taking all this into account, Honourable Delegates to the UNHRC Sessions, I pray you to please vote against this non productive unjust and undemocratic Resolution against Sri Lanka.

Most Respectfully,

Charles.S.Perera

Sri Lanka in a Panic Mood.

The Sri Lanka Government seems to be running like a dog having  got its paws burnt as the old saying goes sending in a hurry delegations to South Africa in search of  a  report of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. 

The USA government’s over zealous  ballyhoo against Sri Lanka for violation of human rights, and war crimes, is a gimmick to frighten governments of developing countries to show them what USA and its allies are still capable of doing despite their losing their economic leadership panache to China –Russia.  There is no need to panic USA and its allies will be there again at the next UNHRCouncil presenting another resolution against Sri Lanka, as they can think of nothing better to do.

USA and its allies are only capable of leaving  behind them desolation and destruction.

Perhaps this resolution against Sri Lanka is of double interest to USA-  it marks the 11^th Anniversary of  the Invasion of Iraq by USA on the 19 March,2003.  It also marks  the beginning of  a  war without bombs- a war nevertheless to destabilise Sovereign States of  the third world.

China -Russia is a combined emerging world leadership which  is  popular for its generosity and their ability to evaluate problems of nations with a democratic attitude, without  demonising  a government in power, getting dissidents  to agree on  a dialogue laying down arms.  Both China and Russia are a more acceptable leadership for the developing countries as they are neither aggressive, nor do they come with destructive motives.

USA and the Western forces rallying together like wild wolves, frighten emerging nations, and force them to take distance from them .  Their power is in the likes of NATO Forces and the weight  of their bombs and the number of them which  could be  dropped in one raid on a developing nation in each take off of  their bomber planes.

They call this “humanitarian bombing”.

In 1999, the U.S. national security state — which has been involved throughout the world in subversion, sabotage, terrorism, torture, drug trafficking, and death squads — launched round-the-clock aerial attacks against Yugoslavia for 78 days, dropping 20,000 tons of bombs and killing thousands of women, children, and men. All this was done out of humanitarian concern for Albanians in Kosovo. Or so we were asked to believe. In the span of a few months, President Clinton bombed four countries: Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq repeatedly, and Yugoslavia massively. At the same time, the U.S. was involved in proxy wars in Angola, Mexico (Chiapas), Colombia, East Timor, and various other places. And U.S. forces are deployed on every continent and ocean, with some 300 major overseas support bases — all in the name of peace, democracy, national security, and humanitarianism.

USA and its allies bombed Libya saying it was to save the Libyan people from their Leader Colonel Gaddafi.

"All NATO's targets are military in nature and are directly linked to the Gadhafi regime's systematic attacks on the Libyan people," said Rear Adm. Russell Harding, deputy commander of Operation Unified Protector. "Given the escalating use of naval assets, NATO had no choice but to take decisive action to protect the civilian population of Libya and NATO forces at sea."

Their peace is like a doubled aged sword.  Hence the people of a country whether they are for or against their elected government should be warned to  unite to fight against USA and their forces the greatest enemy of emerging Nations amoung the developing countries.

The USA and the West are a  force with waning power, now climbing on the shoulders of  dissidents of developing countries. In  Sri Lanka  they have climbed on to the shoulders of  the  anti Sri Lanka Tamil Diaspora, National Tamil Alliance in Sri Lanka with a wife of  a former terrorist Ananthi Sasitharan,  to make their rallying call to defeat the aim of Sri Lanka to become a Nation of a united people.  USA and its allies  rally  to  change regimes  and balkanise developing Nations.

They accept any false evidence, as valid such as the Video footages and Documents by UK Channel 4 which no decent Nation would accept, if it serves their purpose to bring accusations against the  Government of Sri Lanka and its Armed Forces  that defeated a ruthless terrorism to bring peace to the country and to the people who suffered for 30 years under terrorism.

USA as it did in the past with its CIA,  infiltrate into countries to create chaos within and force a peoples’ uprising to make the Government and the Leaders to step down.   They did it in Iran against Mosadeq, in Chile against Salvadore Allende , in Congo against Lumumba. They did that in Yugoslavia, Egypt, then in Tunisia. They are doing the same thing in Syria,  Ukraine, and Venezuela.

USA and its Allies are now trying to do that  in Sri Lanka as well, using Human Rights and War Crimes as their new arms.  They are trying to fool some of the  delegates , attending the UNHRCouncil Sessions in Geneva,  presenting  them the  resolution against Sri Lanka  asking them to vote in favour of it.

They are doing that accusing Sri Lanka,  to  show themselves as the saviours of humanity   not  showing  the  blood marks left on them from  the innocents they have killed, in  Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Yugoslavia, not to speak of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Vietnam, and Cambodia.

So why should Sri Lanka be on a panic mood, now  running to South Africa  to study  Truth and Reconciliation Commission Report of that country.  It has no relevance what-so-ever to Sri Lanka. It is really a short sighted move which  shows Sri Lanka’s weakness, rather than its strength.  What has South Africa achieved with that Reconciliation Commission ?

In South Africa today the economy is still in the hands of the rich white South Africans.  The black South Africans are still poor, with a highly increasing criminality amoung them.

In South Africa it was a White minority who set up a white man’s regime pushing the natives black Africans  into ghettoes. “ From 1948 onwards public life was marked by a strict segregation that was enforced by massive policy powers. The segregation aimed at ensuring the rights and privileges of the white population and at providing cheap black labour.

The introduction of so-called homelands (officially independent tribal areas of the blacks) like Transkei, Ciskei, Venda and KwaZulu was supposed to bring racial segregation to perfection. By establishing these huge ghettos, where only black people were allowed to live, the South African government tried to completely abdicate from its political, economic and social responsibility. ”

There was nothing like this in Sri Lanka the Sri Lanka’s majority community did not treat the Tamil community differently. Even today the Sinhala community has opened them selves to the Tamil people.  But it is the Tamil Politicians of the TNA and the anti Sri Lanka Tamil diaspora that is separating the Tamil people from the rest of the Communities in Sri Lanka .  There is therefore no apartheid in Sri Lanka and there never was.  Why should we then look for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission of South Africa ?

Even Mandela knew what USA is capable of, “When Mandela was taken to the ruins of Gaddafi’s compound in Tripoli, which was bombed by the Reagan administration in 1986 in an attempt to murder the entire Gaddafi family, he said:

“No country can claim to be the policeman of the world and no state can dictate to another what it should do. Those that yesterday were friends of our enemies have the gall today to tell me not to visit my brother Gaddafi. They are advising us to be ungrateful and forget our friends of the past.” (http://thepowerhous.wordpress.com/2014/01/02/mandela-and-gaddafi-the-myth-of-the-saint-and-the-mad-dog/)

USA and its allies proposes an International investigation in Sri Lanka to study what happened when the terrorists were finally eliminated.  But  in reality  some among the 47 delegates representing the 47 countries at the UNHR Council Sessions should move that before presenting the resolution against Sri Lanka USA and its allies should first consent to an international investigation about their own violation of human rights and  war crimes in Iraq , Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Yugoslavia, and also those civilian deaths in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Vietnam.

The problem with the LLRC for USA and its allies is that the Commissioners  were all local black Sri Lankans. They were learned highly qualified  people.  Most of them were eminent judges; some were Diplomats.  Some of them Studied in Foreign Universities as well. 

But only disqualification for USA and its allies is that they were coloured locals, therefore they are not accepted as honest.  If there was a white man amoung the Commissioners even if he was half educated the Commission would have been acceptable to the USA and the West.  Therefore,  the demand for an International Investigation in the USA resolution against Sri Lanka.

What is strange in this is that the USA and the West accepts all false stories concocted by Ananthi Sasitharan the wife of a terrorist as the truth, because it suits them.

Sri Lanka Government instead of being in a panic mood behaving like a dog whose paws have got burnt, should start a campaign of information  every where in Sri Lanka to make the people aware of the scheming of the USA and the West, in countries like Egypt, Tunisia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, and Venezuela, where their Agents the CIA and NGOs  infiltrated into the towns and villages and bought the people tempting  them with promises they never keep to rise up in groups and masses against the elected Government. 

Inform the people that USA and the West , once their objective achieved set up a puppet Government  which does things according to their bidding and  leave the country, poor , underdeveloped depending on hand outs from USA and the West.

They are planning such an uprising to make a situation where they could intervene with ntheir own armed forces and bomb Sri Lanka shattering into rubble the five years of infrastructure developed by the President Mahinda Rajapakse and his Government.

Let the people of Sri Lanka be informed in mass meetings  that the time is ripe for all people to bury their political differences and rally round the President and the Government to show America and its Western allies that they cannot do in Sri Lanka what they did in Egypt, Tunisia, Yugoslavia, Ukraine, or Venezuela.

Why the Delegates to the 23rd Session of UNHRCouncil should not vote for the USA Resolution against Sri Lanka ?

Delegate to the 23 Session of the UNHRCouncil,

Geneva.

Dear Sir,

Why the Delegates  to the 23^rd Session of  UNHRCouncil should not vote for the USA Resolution against Sri Lanka ?

__________________________________________________________

Because to do that would be  counter productive.  It is also a travesty of justice.   Why should USA move a resolution against Sri Lanka ?  In which way would it provide justice to the Tamil people , and Sri Lanka as a whole ? 

In finding a solution to the problem of the Tamil people, they cannot be separated from the rest of the people of Sri Lanka. But USA is only pandering to the Tamil  Community separating them from the rest of the communities.  Separating people in a country for what ever cultural, social and religious differences  is not promoting human rights, it is  an injustice in the highest sense.

But this is what USA had been doing in  countries like Yugoslavia without taking into consideration America’s own historical racial integration.

Honourable  Delegates, consider for an instance the Situation where the  Black-Americans which is about 12 percent of the American Population demand a separate American States in the south  like Alabama, Georgia, Carolina and Florida exclusively for themselves.  What would have been the reaction of the Government of USA ?

The USA would have taken drastic action against them,  with the Ku Klux Klan burning the Black Americans alive.

But instead of that segregation,  America integrated the Black Americans into the white population building one great nation of America. Despite that American experience why does America now seeks to divide communities in countries out side America.  America should instead be a unifying force.  It should instead of passing resolutions against Sri Lanka advice the Tamil population to integrate with the other Communities in Sri Lanka as it happened in America. But America is doing what is politically beneficial to it.

What is behind this USA move to present a  resolution against Sri Lanka at UNHRC ? 

The real  reason is that the  expatriate Sri Lanka Tamils  living in USA, Canada and in other European Countries contributed  to finance the  terrorism in Sri Lanka. They collected ( and continue to collect) funds from the Tamils in the diaspora, to  purchase arms and ammunition, military equipment  and  sophisticated communication  material etc.They thus assisted the Tamil terrorists in Sri Lanka to break away the North and East of Sri Lanka by force to setup a separate State for the Tamil people. 

A repenting terrorist arms procurer Sathajhan Sarachandran serving a 25 year prison term in US says, “ The rejection of armed militancy is a complete reversal for the Toronto men, who were part of the international weapons procurement network that supplied the Tamil Tigers, or LTTE, during Sri Lanka’s long civil war. (National Post)

When the terrorists were eliminated the pro-terrorist Tamils of the diaspora who had collected large sums of money to help terrorism were left with these funds, and decided to continue terrorism through other means for the  creation of a Separate Tamil State in Sri Lanka. 

They formed into  Tamil Front Organisations to carry out a well organised campaign against Sri Lanka, discrediting the Government and accusing the Sri Lanka Armed Forces  for violation of human rights and  war crimes. They worked along with their Agents in Sri Lanka the Tamil Nationa Aliance, which is a proxy party of the Sri Lanka terrorists , to prepare the ground to accuse Sri Lanka for violation of human rights and war crimes during the last phase of the military operations against the terrorists, and eventually set up a separate State for Tamil people.

Some of these Tamil Front Organisations  in America formed a group called Tamils for Obama, and assisted actively in the  President Barak Obama’s  Presidential Campaign making financial contributions  becoming known political activists amoung the Democratic Party  Establishment. They were thus able to contact the officials of the American State Department,  and  approach  the American Political hierarchy  to accuse Sri Lanka for violation of human rights and  war crimes against the Tamil people in the course of the elimination of terrorism. 

They were able through various means  to get the USA and its allies to accuse Sri Lanka for violation of human rights and war crimes at the last phase- which was about two weeks  before the elimination of the terrorists.  But the actual terrorism in Sri Lanka lasted for thirty years, and the process of elimination of the terrorists by the intervention of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces commenced only in 2005.

Why then the investigation for violation of human rights and war crimes only for the last two weeks before the elimination of terrorism  ?

This is the question the Delegates should ask themselves.  

The reason Sirs, is that the terrorists from 1983 to 2005 carried out a systematic war of terror massacring large numbers of innocent villagers, men women and children in bomb explosions setting claymore bombs in buses , trains, and in market places.  They invented  suicide bombs that assassinated the Indian Prime Minister, a President of Sri Lanka, Several Government Ministers, Army and Police Officers, and wounded a President of Sri Lanka and the Commander of the Armed Forces. They used pistol gangs  to kill many Tamil politicians and intellectuals.  They killed the Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister using a sniper. 

All these and more massacres, assassinations, ruthless murders and crimes committed by the terrorists are well documented.  Compared to this ruthless well documented murderous history of the terrorists, what ever human rights violation, or war crimes that are supposed to have been committed  during  the military operations of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces during the last two weeks before the elimination of the terrorists are insignificant. 

But the selection of this  two weeks( the last phase) to accuse the Government of Sri Lanka and the Armed Forces for violation of human rights and war crimes is deliberate as  in any war from Hiroshima to Sri  Lanka the most confusing period of a war is the last moments of the war as there is utter confusion , and eye witnesses do not survive to tell the tale. 

After five years  what actually happened at the last phase of the war  is over shadowed with falsehood, imaginary stories, prepared evidence like the UK Channel 4 documents, and even stories invented by terrorists themselves who have become ordinary persons washed of their criminal past,  like Ananthi Sasitharan  the wife of a terrorist Ellalai who recruited children  for terrorists forces, and now living safely in Jaffna.  Elected as a Provincial Councillor she comes now before the UNHRC  wailing about the crimes committed by the Sri Lanka Armed Forces against the Tamil women.  

Five years after the elimination of the terrorts,  investigating into  what happened during the last phase of the war is inappropriate, as all that past is clouded and the resulting search  would only be imagined and invented harrowing tales.  Therefore, if an investigation is necessary it should be for  the past 25 years  and not just the last two weeks.  An investigation of the past 25 years of terrorism will show proof without any reasonable doubt of their ruthless crimes, and make it  evident the necessity  of their elimination at whatever cost , and what ever was the out come at the last phase.

In view of all that, what is the necessity of the USA resolution  against Sri Lanka ?

How is this International Investigation USA is proposing in the Resolution they are presenting help the Tamil people now ? 

Is it  to satisfy the conscious of those Tamil Expatriate Terrorist Front Organisations in the USA, Canada, UK, Netherland and else where outside Sri Lanka and their Agents the Tamil National Alliance in Sri Lanka, or is there an ulterior motive by the sponsor of the Resolution- USA and its Allies of the West ?

It is evident Respected Delegates, that USA has taken the initiative to move this Resolution against Sri Lanka for other political reasons of its own, under  cover of redressing any discrimination  committed against  the Tamils people by the Sri Lanka Government or its Armed Forces.

The resolution has nothing to do with the elimination of terrorists by the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka. It has more to it than meets the eye.

 When USA State Department sent its Ambassador- at- Large Stephen Rapp, the Assistant Secretary for South Asian Affairs  Nisha Desai Biswal, or  even Navi Pillai, the UN Commissioner of  Human Rights ( not forgetting that UN is now an extended arm of the USA State Department) to investigate the situation prior to preparing the damning resolution, they went only to the North of Sri Lanka, and interviewed persons or groups  who were known to be anti Government or the known anti Government Tamil News Paper Office Udayan. 

But  the people in the South of Sri Lanka suffered as much from terrorism, and many former Sinhala and Muslim residents of Jaffna who were chased away by the terrorists now live in the South.  But none of these American or the UNHRC investigators visited the South, and speak to the people who had directly suffered from terrorism, nor did the visit the Media offices in the south as they did in the North. Therefore, these investigations were superficial and carried out to fit into an already decided plan of action.

This means that  all these US State Department emissaries were only a cover up as the US State Department all the time  knew what the resolution is going to be.  The underlying reason for the US Resolution against Sri Lanka is to engage with Sri Lanka, in a more cunning  way by sending International Investigators, NGOs, human rights activists and journalists with the right to move about in Sri Lanka unchallenged, have access to anti government  media offices and put as many people as they can against the Government.

It would then be possible  to  create a rebellious situations like those in Egypt, and Tunisia putting people against people, and  arm if possible the rebellious groups allowing the International Community to intervene and  eventually force the government to step down.

That is a possible scenario Respected Delegates, these have happened in Chile, Iran, etc. and continue to happen elsewhere.  USA has  still the CIA with all the know how for creating appropriate situations  to remove populer Presidents.

Are you allowing that to happen in Sri Lanka by voting for the USA Resolution against Sri Lanka to be presented at  the UNHRCouncil Sessions ?

If you would go through the resolution and  read the demand No. 5 you will note that it is to
make Sri Lanka subjugate its rights of governance , and policy development to USA and its its Western allies. This is a very high handed demand the intention of which is to keep Sri Lanka dependent and loyal to the Senate of USA, which demands the  control Sri Lanka’s economic and Security interests.

Under this resolution USA may dictate our choice of the political system of Governance, our economic relations with other countries such as China, Russia etc., and even the deployment of armed forces within Sri Lanka.

This obnoxious  demand No.5 of the US Resolution reads: (5)calls upon the President to develop a comprehensive policy towards Sri Lanka that reflects United States interests, including respect for human rights, democracy and the rule of law, economic interests, and security interests.

Therefore, as a patriot of Sri Lanka- which became Independent from British Colonial Rule in 1948, and which is now an Independent Sovereign State and wishing to protect that Sovereignty of Sri Lanka intact,  I request you to please vote against this most undemocratic , cunningly phrased resolution meant to dupe the honourable Delegates, to demand of them their vote to take control of Sri Lanka and do what it pleases with a puppet government put in place.

Yours Respectfully,

Charles.S.Perera

Please do not say any more India is a friend of Sri Lanka.

India has a leadership problem.  It is living in fear of disintegration, therefore the Government of India has become a prisoner of an old Tamil racist politician Karunanidhi , and a Tamil racist old film star Jayalalitha  from Tamil Nadu.  

Both of them are full of hatred and without any sense of real politics.  It looks as  in India there is only Tamil Nadu, the  rest of the country has been overshadowed by it.  Where ever there are Tamil politicians there are problems, as Sri Lanka  has learnt to its detriment. 

Whether India could escape from this Tamilnadu trap to establish a strong government which could decide its foreign policies without having to depend on sentimental attachments of individual States to become a  leader nation in Asia is doubtful. It appears nothing would change even with  a new Prime Minister taking over reins of Indian government.

Already the manner in which  a new Indian government would prepare its future policies has been announced  by Vaiko- a  racist politician from TamilNadu who has made the Sri Lanka Tamil issue his raison d’être.  He had said,  “Bharatiya Janata Party’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi has assured that no military support would be given to Sri Lanka in the event of his party coming to power. ” 

Vaiko has already prepared  the ground for  a  future Indian Prime Minister to prepare his  Foreign policy to suit TamilNadu’s political fantasy, keeping India a lackey of the USA and the West, without ever realising that India’s future is in association with China, Russia, Pakistan, Iran, and other Asian countries. India is a half hearted member of the SAARC.

We do not know what part India played in the elimination of terrorism, as it appears to be a well kept secret of the Government of Sri Lanka to be calling India more than a friend.  In response to  this exaggerated show of gratitude  India’s Foreign Minister Salman  Kurshid had rightly said that India is not Sri Lanka’s big  brother but only a political partner. 

If India had actively participated with the Government of Sri Lanka in the  elimination of terrorism, it was also in the interest of India as terrorism in Sri Lanka  had its fall out in India for which it paid dearly, which seems to be forgotten in Congress Party’s ambition for political existence.

For an outsider, India’s part in  Sri Lanka’s war against terrorists did not show any friendly partnership let alone the understanding of a big brother. The few instances that showed India’s unfriendly intention of letting down Sri Lanka when ever a situation arises were when  40,0000 Soldiers were  trapped in Jaffna  without transport and about to be attacked by the terrorists,  and  an appeal to provide  transport  was refused by the  India government. 

It was thanks to Pakistan that provided arms that the army was able to drive away the terrorists avoiding an imminent  disaster to the Sri Lanka armed Forces.

Secondly it was when India sold a second hand  outmoded radar system to Sri Lanka which could not detect the terrorist planes that bombed the airport in Colombo, and thirdly it was when India refused to sell arms and forbade Sri Lanka buying arms from China.  Finally when India stepped into the portals of  world leaders it  forgot the neighbour and  voted against Sri Lanka along with USA and the rest of the Western buddies at the UNHRCounil Sessions, and now tells India was never Sri Lanka’s big brother, but only a political partner.

Time has come now to strike off India as a friend of Sri Lanka, and  call a spade a spade as partnerships in war are temporary and soon forgotten after wars.  India always had an expansionist interest vis à vis Sri Lanka and nothing else, and was never a friend or even an honest partner if it had any hand in the terrorist war.  India promoted terrorism in Sri Lanka with RAW training Tamil youth from Sri Lanka in terrorism in special camps set up in India with instructors to train them. 

It was only when India realised that Prabhakaran  cannot be satisfied with promises and  small hand outs and asked for more that India became conscious  of the fact  that  in training a group of Tamil youth from Sri Lanka in terrorism, it had in fact created a Frankenstein which had gone out of its control. The first victim of that error was Rajiv Gandhi India’s Prime Minister. 

Karunanidhi of  TamilNadu played a principle role in the assassination of Rajiv Ghandi, but paradoxically it is Karunanidhi and Tamil Nadu that still keep India under their  thumbs.  India has also become a  puppet in the Hands of USA and the West subjugating its sovereignty  to the prestige of being amoung the high and mighty big wigs of the West, even if USA were to  denude its women diplomats  for body checks.

India is  politically so swollen headed in being with the USA and the West it does not follow the other South Asian Countries in international forums despite its membership in the SAARC. At the previous 22 session  of the UNHRCouncil in Geneva, from amoung the Asian Countries present  it  was only India and South Korea that voted against Sri Lanka.

India more than any one else knows that Sri Lanka did not commit any of what the USA and the West accuse Sri Lanka to have done at the last phase of  military operations against terrorism.  But India yet continues to stand with USA against  Sri Lanka to please Tamil Nadu politicians whose only political vision is the Sri Lanka Tamil problem of which they know nothing except that the Tamil terrorists were eliminated.

India now says, “… the Mahinda Rajapaksa government has done precious little on the ground. It is dragging feet on implementing recommendations made by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) set up by itself. ”  India knows what Sri Lanka has done for the welfare of the Tamil people of the North and East, having even obtained the right to open a Consular Office of India in the North. 

Even if Sri Lanka were to implement  100 per cent of the LLRC report, USA and the West will still not be satisfied, as their agenda is the separation of the North and East to set up an American marine base for its Pacific Fleet in the Northern seas of Sri Lanka to control the influence of China and Russia in that part of the sea.

India has not even a good neighbourly relation with Sri Lanka and will continue with its expansionist intentions. Therefore Sri Lanka should take precautionary measures, in cutting down its political relations with India.

Salman Kurshid had  told a visiting group of Sri Lanka journalists, “ We are in an election mood. In election time it is not always easy to explain to people.”  Lanka should do things that will enable India to help it”. He has  added,  “…. While everyone realises that a 30-year conflict cannot be resolved overnight, Lanka cannot take 30 years to bring about reconciliation,…. Sri Lankans will have to find means to satisfy the world, while convincing the world that it needs more time to find its own solution at a pace and in a time frame convenient to it. ”

India does not understand that USA and the West take action according to a prearranged agenda of bringing developing countries under their control  to retain their political leadership in the world.  Therefore they will continue political manoeuvres even to set up governments in other countries, as it was recently reported:

US State Department Assistant Secretary for Europe and European Affairs Victoria Nuland was caught on tape last week confirming that the U.S. is now openly spending 5 billion US dollars to effect 'regime change' in Ukraine.Nuland told Geoffrey Pyatt, the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, she had discussed the plan with U.N. Undersecretary for Political Affairs Jeffrey Feltman and that he would appoint a U.N. representative to help move it forward.

And who is this Jeffrey Feltman? A career American diplomat, Feltman served as the most senior State Department official on the Middle East from 2009 moved from US Foreign Service in May 2013 to take the United Nations Number Three job, Undersecretary General for Political Affairs.

India wants to implicate Sri Lanka,  and will vote for the USA  resolution against Sri Lanka, and even help the TNA to set up the Tamil Eelam State.  DMK of Karunanidhi has  already instructed Indian Central Government what it should do:  "The Centre should not fall prey to the Sri Lankan government and should stand by the U.S. when the resolution against the Sri Lankan government for its human rights violations is moved in the UNHRC."

Sri Lanka can do without India.  The Government of Sri Lanka should proceed with long needed  actions  which had been withheld for what ever reason, such as the removal of  13A from the Constitution, demanding the closing up of the Indian Consular Office in Jaffna, and initiate criminal action against the TNA as the agents of the LTTE terrorists  for the crimes committed by them for 30 years.  These actions  had been withheld perhaps in order not to embarrass India. To-day the situation has changed.

The 13the Amendment to the constitution should have been removed immediately the Indian Peace Keeping Force left the Island. The 13 Amendment was included into the Constitution under the Indo-Lanka Pact. The agreement in terms of that Pact was for the IPKF to disarm the terrorists, and for Sri Lanka Government to implement the proposed 13 Amendment to the Constitution.  The Indian Government in withdrawing the IPKF without having disarmed the terrorists breached the Indo Lanka Pact.

Hence the Government is no longer bound to keep the 13 Amendment in the Constitution, even if it has already been implemented.  The implication of the breach of the Indo-Lanka Pact should be studied by our legal luminaries  in terms of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties of the 23 May,1969, and legal proceedings should be initiated for a court order to remove  the 13 Amendment from the Constitution of Sri Lanka.

Secondly, The Government of Sri Lanka should  demand India to close the Indian Consular Office in Jaffna.  It was the Indian RAW that was responsible for the training of  the Sri Lanka terrorists, therefore the presence of an Indian Consular Office in Jaffna is  a security concern.   

Furthermore, Jaffna  which was the centre of  terrorist activities in Sri Lanka. It  is still not completely secure from terrorism as TNA the Political Party that has formed the Provincial Council in the North  was a proxy-party of the terrorists.  They continue promoting terrorism or terrorism like activities, such us not allowing the Sri Lanka flag to be hoisted at ceremonies,  not Singing the National Anthem in Sinhala, and promote  separatist propaganda  demanding the construction of monuments in memory of the dead terrorists. Therefore the presence of  India’s Consular Office in Jaffna is all the more a security risk.

Thirdly, the TNA had been allowed to carry out  unconstitutional activities without a word raised against them without  even a warning for whatever diplomatic or political reason. But now Sri Lanka is being accused by the USA and the Western Countries for no other reason but for the elimination of terrorism.  The TNA is largely responsible for instigating, fanning the flames of terrorism, and providing false evidence to the USA and International Community to accuse Sri Lanka as a violator of human rights and responsible for  war crimes. 

Even the  wife of  the  former terrorist Ellalai,  Ananthi Sasitharna is a member of the TNA and a Council Mermber of the NPC. She has given false evidence to American Ambassador at Large Stephen Rapp and the Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs Nisha Desai Biswal. Though she is now  speaking for the rights of the women in the Northern Province her husband Ellalai was the recruiter of  Children for the terrorist armed force.

The Government should  now proceed to take  criminal investigations on the members of the TNA for the role they had played  during the period of terrorism.

Fr. Vimal Tirimanna CSsR wrote  in the Island of 18 February,2014:

“TNA was proxy to the LTTE for nearly a decade. As such, since the LTTE is no longer in existence, it is the TNA that should be held responsible for the terrible atrocities committed by the LTTE because they were accomplices to all those crimes. If the government is to be held responsible for the alleged ‘war crimes’, then for far worse terrorist crimes of the LTTE, the TNA should be held responsible by any "international community".

The Government of Sri Lanka should stop further bilateral trade agreements with India.  Sri Lanka should increase  bilateral trade with Pakistan, China, Russia, Vietnam, S.Korea, Iran and Bangladesh.

Our Minsters should stop calling on the Ministers of India to discuss internal affairs of Sri Lanka as it had been happening in the past.  The government should not extend the visa on arrival facility to Indians.  Government of Sri Lanka should refuse training of Sri Lankans in South Indian educational or Military Institutions.

Sri Lanka should stop calling that  India is a friend of Sri Lanka.
