Navi Pillay the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights backs calls for an inquiry into possible war crimes in
Their whole problem is not being able to have a peep into the no-fire zone. UNHCHR is also interest in figures, such as the numbers killed, numbers wounded. They of course have access to terrorist website and quote the figures there, believing that the figures provided by the terrorists are more reliable than those given by the Sri Lanka Government . And they are representing the United Nations !
For Rupert Colville the Government Military operations against the terrorists is a “war” He wants an independent commission of inquiry to count the number of dead bodies in the no fire zone. He does not want the Government to go scot free after the killings in the “war”. Both sides that is the terrorists and the Government are responsible for the killings, and both sides are bound by the “rules of war”
They often call the military operations against the terrorists in
In the war without witnesses going on in
The only problem for Navi Pillay is the
The war against the talibans is small fry for UNHCHR, the real stuff is in
In
Further more Reuters report that , “……the European Union and various aid agencies are also calling for international scrutiny of the conflict between the army and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) that has pushed the Indian Ocean island into a humanitarian crisis”.
A few hundred deaths in
Today the
It is strange UNHCHR or the EU has not bothered to deploy Human Rights monitors in
It is important as Colville says , to allow, “…. independent monitors, media, aid workers or other international observers to see for themselves what is actually going on has made it very difficult to cut through the mass of propaganda. It also heightens the impression that those blocking the access have something to hide."
What does it matter to UNHCHR it is our war and the people involved are our people . We have a responsibility to them more than the UN and the Western Humanitarians.
It is
The UN, the EU and the Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International had given false hope for the terrorists of a possible intervention for a reprieve. Hence they did not surrender or hold back fire with their heavy weapons keeping the Tamil civilians as a human shield. Therefore the UN, UE and the rest of the human rights activists are responsible for every death in the no fire zone, whether the shots were fired by the terrorists or the Government Armed Forces.
It is only the Government and its security forces who know when to stop military operations. Therefore it is the duty of these “do gooders” to make way for the government to carry on its duty by its people according to the mandate it has given to the people. Until then the UN Security Council and Barrack Obama have to abide.
What UNHCHR, EU, IC, and Barrack Obama do not know, or care to know, is that the Sri Lanka Government Forces had carried out a remarkable rescue operation bringing into safety two hundred thousands Tamil Civilians who had been held as a human shield by the terrorists, who were continually given hope by these UN, EU,IC and latterly Barrack Obama, the well wishers of a possible cease fire to escape into safety.
The Member States of the UN are fed up with the arrogance of the UNHCHR, the EU , Human Rights Activists and the Amnesty International. They should adopt a different method of speaking to the Member States- the developing countries. The fact that the member states are only developing countries does not give a licence for the officials of the UNHCHR or the EU to adopt an attitude of haughtiness, arrogance and meanness in dealing with them.
The developing countries fighting terrorists have no rules to follow , because the terrorists do not follow rules laid by the Geneva convention. It is these UN and EU Officials that should be taken to the International Courts for interfering into the successful military offensives against ruthless terrorists banned in not less that 33 countries who are bent on massacring its opponents without respect for rules or without any sense of morality.
The EU statement, that the “EU foreign ministers are due to call for an independent inquiry into alleged war crimes committed not just by the Tamil Tigers, who have long been on the EU's list of banned terrorist groups, but also by the government.” is beyond comprehension.
It puts in par with the terrorist, a Government which is carrying out its duty of defending its people and territory against its enemy, and more so against a group of terrorists.
Which would be the Court that would accept allegations of war crimes against a country with a democratically elected government, which having failed all its attempts for a negotiated peace settlement resorted to the only available military solution, to wipe out a group of ruthless terrorists, who terrorised the country and its people for thirty long years ?
