Please reject the USA Resolution Against Sri Lanka

 

Bush and Tony Blair two liars who waged a war in Iraq

                                                                                

Honourable Delegate to the 25 Session of the UNHR Council, Geneva,

Your Excellency,

Sovereignty of a nation should be respected under all circumstances. But  the USA and its Allies do not recognise that time honoured democratic principle.  For USA , sovereignty of a developing  country ends when USA decides to intervene into its internal affairs.

USA known  for its torture camps, killing of  innocent men, women  and  children in drone attacks, for destruction of countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, through bombardment, has no moral right to present a resolutions at UNHRC against Sri Lanka, which carried out a responsible military operations to eliminate terrorism that caused immense suffering to its people for three decades ? 

For that matter USA  has no right to include into its resolution against Sri Lanka an International Independent Investigation into Sri Lanka as suggested by Ms.Navi Pillai, which suggestion had been made by her through her own partiality towards the Tamil Terrorists of Sri Lanka-  her distant cousins.

No war is clean, war against terrorism is the worst,  as terrorists have no legal norms in inflicting terror.

For USA the terrorists are only those who take up arms against USA and its Western Allies. All those groups taking up arms to terrorise the people of the developing countries, devastating the countryside are for USA and its Western allies, freedom fighters who are in disagreement with the elected governments of the Country.  That offers USA the motivation to step into change regime.

This was how USA viewed the terrorists of Sri Lanka. The terrorists were kind, friendly ,and respectful towards their Ambassadors, and representatives visiting the areas under their control. Thus all their  assassinations, massacring of innocent people  by explosion of bombs, or by using the terrorist  suicide cadre,  were for USA and its allies normal activities of freedom fighters. 

In Syria, USA armed and supported the rebels against the Government of Syria, which developed into a situation of utter chaos.  This could have been avoided if there was a timely intervention to bring the warring parties for a dialogue.

In accepting the terrorists of Sri Lanka as freedom fighters  USA and its allies were assenting their activities of terrorism.  Thereby, USA and its allies became supporters of  terrorism in Sri Lanka.  They aided  and abetted terrorists giving them moral support. 

A USA Ambassador to Sri Lanka during terrorism - Robert O’Blake, had a close relationship with the terrorists and insisted that the Government of Sri Lanka should find a political solution to end  terrorism and not resort to a military solution. Foreign Secretaries of France and UK met the President during the last phase of military operations against terrorism, to demand  a cease fire.

But thanks to the Government of the President  Mahinda Rajapakse and the Armed Forces relentless offensive against terrorists Sri Lanka was at last able to end the thirty years of suffering of the people.

The end of terrorism was a relief to the people of Sri Lanka, but it  awakened  USA to take revenge from the Government of Sri Lanka which refused a political solution, and resorted   to a military solution  to eliminate their “freedom fighters”

Through whatever pretext – violation of human rights, need for an International Independent Investigation etc., USA and its allies  are still playing a supportive role to Sri Lanka terrorists, condemning the Sri Lanka Government and its Armed Forces- the victims of the terrorism. In doing so USA and its allies  become equally responsible for the death, murders and massacres perpetrated by the terrorists.

In to this category falls the UK Channel 4 which prepares faked films and documents implicating the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka for torture and war crimes again in the same supporting role of  the terrorists of  Sri Lanka. It makes UK Channel 4  legally responsible for the terrorism in Sri Lanka.

USA therefore has no moral right to move a resolution against Sri Lanka at the UNHR Council, and no self respecting country should align with USA to support the resolution  which  would be to  aid and  abet terrorism, and an encouragement for those Sri Lanka terrorists who  escaped in to foreign countries to come back clandestinely to  work for the resurgence of terrorism once again in Sri Lanka.

This became evident recently when  one of these escaped terrorists J.G.Selvanayagam alias Gopi had returned to Sri Lanka, meeting with the former terrorist sympathisers and distributing handbills in praise of terrorism. The police force that came in search of him was shot at injuring seriously one of the policemen.  This terrorists was staying with a woman  who was a sympathiser of the former terrorists, and  she has been taken in by the police  for interrogation. 

This man-the escaped terrorist  had been in contact with a Ruki Fernando and Fr.Pravin. These two, persons were also taken by the police  for interrogation. With regard to this UN Commissioner of HR has dare call it a harassment, without taking into consideration the need of Sri Lanka to be vigilant  against any attempt by any one to reactivate terrorism in Sri Lanka. 

This is why there is a  necessity for the  Sri Lanka Army as a Security Force,  to be present in the North.  

Honourable Delegate,   Sri Lanka  which has been selected  by USA for passing resolutions against it every year since the elimination of terrorism, has come out of the grip of a ruthless terrorism only recently.  Therefore, Sri Lanka is still not quite safe from the possibility of a resurgence of  terrorism.

The Honourable Delegate may have noticed the number of  anti- Sri Lanka Tamils who have gathered in Geneva. They represent the Terrorist  Front Agencies in USA, UK, France, Netherland etc.

A woman  Ms. Anandhi Sridharan who took the floor at the UNHRC as a representative of the Provincial Council of the North of  Sri Lanka, making false allegations condemning the Armed Forces, vigorously opposing their presence in the North, is a wife of a former terrorist.

Hence it is dangerous Honourable Delegate, to keep accusing Sri Lanka for what happened five years ago in the  course of the elimination of terrorism, as it fans the sparks of terrorism  still lying in the warm ashes it had left behind.

The USA, UN  and other Western Countries have no idea what Sri Lanka went through for three decades  in almost daily contact with terrorism  uncertain of a bomb blast or a massacre free tomorrow.  Since the end of terrorism, USA and its allies began accusing Sri Lanka, without giving it  enough time to forget that thirty year long  nightmare to  re-organise its future, and reconcile its  Communities

The USA, its Human Rights Activists and UN has not stopped prying into every aspect of the life of the people of Sri Lanka, inventing stories, making films , and passing “annual”  resolutions against it in the UNHRC.

Honourable Delegates,  it is time that Sri Lanka is given a reprieve.  Sri Lanka has eliminated terrorism, but the possibility  of a resurgence of it cannot still be ruled out.  Therefore  all efforts have to be made, and precautions taken  to see that  Sri Lanka is not taken by surprise into another round of terrorism.

UN Commissioner of Human Rights Navi Pillai, has said that , she has a mandate to order for an International Investigation.  May be the office of the Commissioner of Human Rights may have the  right to order an International Investigation, but not Navi Pillai.  The Office is one and the person who holds the office is another.

Navi Pillai has likes and dislikes, emotions of anger and hatred.  But the Office  of Commissioner of UNHR is abstract without feelings one way or another and would be objective and impartial. We cannot trust Navi Pillai to be that at least when she is investigating in to Tamil Terrorists in Sri Lanka.

She had said that she had in fact met  Ruki Fernando and Pravin who had met the escaped terrorist Gopi who had clandestinely  returned to Sri Lanka. Hence moving freely in Sri Lanka as the UN Commissioner of Human Rights she seems to have met persons like Ruki Ferenando and Pravin who still keep in  contacts with terrorists who had escaped into foreign countries during the military operations against terrorism.

It has been reported that, “ She(Navi Pillai)  stated with emphasis that when she began the session expressing concern over harassment and detention of human rights defenders, she was specifically speaking of Mr. Ruki and Fr. Pravin whom she had met earlier. She said she was disturbed by the turn of events especially in circumstances when Sri Lanka was facing a resolution critical of human rights and humanitarian law violations. She emphatically denounced the use of the Prevention of Terrorism Acts globally and questioned Sri Lanka’s policies and behavior. ”

Honourable Delegate,  the UNCHR Ms.Navi Pillai wants Sri Lanka to relax its vigilance to keep the country safe from a resurgence of terrorism during the period USA has presented a  highly questionable resolution against Sri Lanka.  It is a very strange expectation on her part.

The Prevention of Terrorism Act is all important to Sri Lanka which is not completely safe from a possible resurgence of terrorism.

We do not know what exactly Ms.Navi Pillai discussed with Mr.Ruki Fernando and Fr.Pravin for her to be disturbed by the turn of events- that is taking these two persons to be questioned by the Police.  That is a normal security measure, in a country which has just come out of the grip of a ruthless terrorism. 

But Ms.Navi Pillai is probably emphasising it to make the Honourable Delegates believe  that Sri Lanka is harassing ordinary people violating their rights of freedom to act the way they want,  and therefore it confirms the claims made by the US resolution.

Honourable Delegate,  Sri Lanka  is an old democracy.  It does not discriminate against its people for their race, language or religious beliefs. It was unfortunately under a devastating terrorism for three decades. Finally a President elected in 2005 was determined to eliminate terrorism ,and put an end to the suffering of the people. He successfully  carried out military operations and eliminated terrorism in May,2009.

The  terrorism was brought to an end at the  cost  of nearly 24,000 lives of military personal alone.  Many innocent civilians, intellectuals, Ministers, politicians from all Communities were murdered and massacred in terrorist bomb explosions, by grenade lobbers or snipers.

The end of terrorism was a great relief to the people.  It is only after the end of terrorism  that USA and its allies urged by the pro-terrorist expatriate Tamils living in the respective foreign Countries(USA,UK,Canada,Netherland etc.) who had been  contribuing to terrorism in Sri Lanka, began probing into Sri Lanka accusing the Government and its Armed Forces for violation of human rights, and war crimes.

You may ask Honourable Delegate why the USA and its allies act to please the  Tamils living in these countries ? 

These Tamils who migrated to these countries in 1980s, are today a considerable number of voters in different constituencies in UK, and Canada.  There are over 300,000 Tamils in UK, many of them living in highly marginal constituencies. They are a floating vote that decides the election of  candidates for the Parliament, therefore the candidates  go all out to win over the Tamil voters. 

David Cameron, depends  on the expatriate Tamil votes to retain his Parliamentary seat of Whitney. William Hague  from the Parliamentary Constituency of Richmond(York) who depends on the Tamil votes to retain his Parliamentary Seat, proposes setting up a UN backed Sierra Leon  type War Crime Tribunal against Sri Lanka, which is certainly a proposal prompted by the expatriate Tamil Diaspora in UK- his vote bank.  .

These  expatriate Tamils had formed Sri Lanka Tamil Terrorist Front Agencies, which collected funds on a regular basis to help the Terrorists in Sri Lanka, to by arms and ammunition, and even buy  cargo ships to transport arms. 

After the end of terrorism they are left with the Funds they had collected, and continue to collect into their terrorist Account. 

They are thus able to spend unlimited  amounts of money to carry on a campaign against Sri Lanka with a view to divide the country to set up a separate State for Tamils.  Money attracts not only the poor but also those who hold high Office in Governments, Parliaments, Senates ets. depending on the  size of the sums offered. The Tamil Terrorist Front Organisations are very generous.

USA too has a considerable number of  expatriate pro terrorists Tamils, who also have their  Sri Lanka Terrorist Front Organisations.  The Tamils fir Obama is known to have contributed to the President Barrack Obama’s Presidential Campaign. The USA State Department has  contacts in the Tamil Diaspora. They dupe the State Department feeding it with false information.

After elimination of terrorism,  Sri Lanka has begun the much neglected  development of  the country and reconciling the Communities. But these external interference into the country by way of  searching for what happened at the end of the terrorist war five years ago keeps Sri Lanka from its important efforts of reconciliation of  the Communities and  allow the  people  enjoy the peace they have found after thirty years of suffering.

Therefore, I appeal to the  Honourable Delegate attending the 25 Session of the UNHRC Geneva,  to reject  the  US Resolution against Sri Lanka, without giving into the rising American  Global Dictatorship, which is  deciding the future of Sovereign States from amoung the Developing Countries, changing their regimes, ordering sanctions or trade embargoes.

Please in the name of Justice Reject US Resolution against Sri Lanka, which only wants to live in  peace after thirty years of suffering

Yours Respectfully,

Charles.S.Perera
