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

UN Commissioner Navi Pillai’s report calling for an International Independent Investigation should be rejected as her impartiality is questionable due to obvious conflict of Interest.

 

UNCommissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillai meets President Mahinda Rajapakse in Sri Lanka

The Honourable Delegates to the 25^th Session of the UNHR Council, Geneva.

Your Excellencies,

UN Commissioner Navi Pillai’s report calling for an International Independent Investigation   should be rejected  as her  impartiality is questionable due to obvious conflict of Interest.

Delegates to the 25 Session of the UNHR Council in Geneva have been hearing complaints against Sri Lanka from  various Tamil individuals, Tamil groups and their  supporters from  NGOs and some UN Member States.  All those complaints  are for no other reason but for the elimination of terrorism under which  the Tamil civilians themselves suffered   for over three decades.  Those complaints which may have no direct connection to the elimination of terrorism are nevertheless its off shoots.

You may have noticed that those Sri Lankan Tamils who complain against Sri Lanka and support the US Resolution, and the report of the UNCHR Navi Pillai are not ordinary Tamil people who really suffered under terrorism, but these  are Tamils who have a vested interest in discrediting the Government of Sri Lanka, to provoke the Member States to react against Sri Lanka to help them eventually to establish a Separate Tamil State.

Those Tamils who have come from Sri Lanka presenting their complaints  against Sri Lanka are from the  Sri Lanka Tamil political party Tamil National Alliance, which was the political party set up by the terrorist leader Prabhakaran to represent him in the Parliament of Sri Lanka.

The Government after elimination of terrorism did not disband the Tamil National Alliance hoping that with the elimination of terrorism, they will turn out to be a reconciliatory force to bring together the divided Communities. But unfortunately  they turned out to be the heirs to the eliminated terrorists, and continue with the  separatist agenda of the Terrorists in  breach of  the Constitution of Sri Lanka.

This itself shows the positive attitude of the President of Sri Lanka who the Tamils now accuse  to have discriminated against the Tamil people and violated their human rights.

President of Sri Lanka could have used his executive powers and moved to take action against the Tamil National Alliance for the breach of the Constitution.  He did not do so.  The  President  never discriminated against the Tamils of Sri Lanka. He deployed his Armed Forces against the Tamil terrorist, and never against the Tamil people. 

The Armed Forces in fact protected the Tamil people from the terrorist who had kept them as a human shield, and rescued 300,000 of them from the teeth of terrorists risking their own lives.

This shows that the propaganda that is being carried out by the Sri Lanka Tamil politicians and their supporters are false,  and the government ever since the elimination of terrorism had been doing every thing possible to improve the living conditions of the Tamil people of the North and East and reconcile them with the rest of the Communities.           

But it is the Tamils led by the Tamil National alliance and the Tamil Diaspora  who are now very much present in the UNHR Council premises in Geneva carrying out  false propaganda against the Government and the Armed Forces,  refusing to cooperate with the government in its genuine and sincere effort to  reconcile the Communities in Sri Lanka, and bring real peace to the people of the Sri Lanka.

Honourable Delegates you may have met, seen or observed  a vociferous Tamil Woman from the Tamil National Alliance –now a Provincial Councillor who has come to UNHRC Geneva and makes lot of Allegations against  the Government of Sri Lanka and its Armed Forces.  She is  Mrs. Anandhi Sridharan. She is none other than the wife of a terrorist Elilian, who was in charge of  recruiting  Tamil children to be trained as child soldiers for terrorists. 

The “recruitment” was in fact taking away children  by force from the parents or kidnapping them from  schools. This person Anandhi Sridharan as the  wife of a terrorist had been an active supported of terrorism. And she is now trying to complete vengefully the unfinished work of her terrorist companions, accusing the Armed Forces. 

This is evidence that the Government of Sri Lanka has not restricted the freedom of the Tamils after the end of terrorism even if some of them  were closely connected with terrorism. This  shows the extent to  which these Tamils led by Tamil National Alliance are ready to go with their false accusations to incriminate the Government and its Armed Forces.  .

The Tamil are only a 13 percent of the population of Sri Lanka.  Of this,  55 percent of the Tamils lives in the South with Sinhala people.  If  the whole of the Tamil population supported the terrorists, the Government would not have been able to defeat them. But not all the Tamils were with the terrorists.

The terrorist were ruthless and did not hesitate to kill any one who opposed them .  Therefore those  Tamils who opposed terrorism did not speak up against terrorist for fear of their lives.  Even today this fear exists,  and the Tamils opposed to terrorism still prefer to keep silent.

Many Tamils in the diaspora lived in fear of being denounced by the terrorist Front Agencies, and made their contributions to the terrorist  Fund Collectors through  fear for themselves and their kith and kin in Sri Lanka.  

Though the terrorists were eliminated by the Government of Sri Lanka,  the  local sympathisers of the terrorists and those pro-terrorist Tamils in the diaspora want to realise the creation of a separate Tamil State which was the object of the terrorists,  and for which the pro-terrorist Tamil diaspora had financially and actively  contributed and still continue to do so.

The Sri Lanka  Tamil politicians led by  the Tamil National Alliance ,  and those Tamils of the diaspora,  are supported by all “well to do” Tamils, and Tamil  politicians the world over  even if they knew nothing of the ground situation in Sri Lanka during terrorism, and nothing of  the governments  contribution to the welfare of the Tamils after terrorism,  merely because they are also  Tamils. 

Their attachment to their Tamilness is such  that they blindly cast their lot with the pro terrorist Sri Lanka Tamils, unconcerned  whether the Tamil terrorists were right or wrong.

Thus you have the Tamils from Mauritius forcing their government to sponsor the US Resolution against Sri Lanka. 

The Tamils in Malaysia, as much as the Tamils of the Tamil Nadu of India  supported  the course of terrorism, and now they are all supporting the efforts of the Pro-terrorist Tamils of Sri Lanka- Tamil National Alliance  along with the Tamils of the diaspora to set up a separate Tamil State in the North and bring the Government and the Armed Forces in Sri Lanka before a tribunal accused for violation of human rights and war crimes in the course of elimination of terrorism.

The Tamils in South Africa supported  the course of the  Sri Lanka Tamil terrorists, and continue to so with Archbishop Desmond Tutu taking a leading role.  Hence all Tamils where ever they are  tend to support Tamils, and  help them to take revenge from the Government of Sri Lanka for elimination of Tamil terrorist.

Navi Pillai  the UN Commissioner for Human Rights  is a Tamil from South Africa.  Hence, being a Tamil her sympathies are with the Tamils of Sri Lanka, her  allegiance is to the course of the Tamils of Sri Lanka to take vengeance from the Government of Sri Lanka and its armed forces  for the elimination of Tamil terrorists.

Navi Pillai the UN Commissioner of Human Rights , who is a Tamil is no different from  other Tamil.  She is in the correct place to help her Tamil counterparts in Sri Lanka to take revenge from the Government and its Armed Forces for the elimination of  their “beloved” Tamil terrorists.  That is the  motivation  behindNavi Pillai’s call for  an International Independent Investigation into the elimination of terrorism, to examine the violation of human rights, and war crimes.

Navi Pillai was the wrong person to have been invested with the authority to investigate to what an extent the Government of Sri Lanka is responsible for any violation of Human rights in the course of the elimination of terrorists. 

There is an obvious conflict of interest and she being a Tamil she stands with the Tamils of Sri Lanka and support their call   for an international  investigation and indirectly support the efforts of her Tamil counterparts to set up a separate Tamil State.

Therefore, her report  and her call for  an International Independent Investigation which has now been “copied” by USA should be rejected,  as her report does not show that she had been able to obtain reliable evidence from her investigations,  and therefore she has  come to very partial and therefore unacceptable conclusions.

Navi Pillai visited Sri Lanka on an invitation by the Government of Sri Lanka and stayed on for a week. She visited most of the places in the North of Sri Lanka interviewing people from all levels of Society, and anti- government press offices in the North. 

But as an independent UN Official and an impartial investigator, she did not to visit the South of Sri Lanka and interview the Sinhala people who also suffered from terrorism.  Therefore her conclusions after her investigations are incomplete, and partial towards the Tamils of the North. Moreover, in her visit to the North  she had not been able to collect any valid reliable evidence to accuse Sri Lanka and its armed forces for violation of human rights.

Hence the report of UNHRC Navi Pillai  presented to the 25 Session is not based on  evidence she collected in her investigations, but based on a  very controversial report issued  by a Panel appointed by the Secretary General  Ban Ki Moon, and a faked film produced by UK Channel TV. 

This report of the Panel cannot be accepted as it is first not an official report and secondly the evidence on which the report is based is questionable, as a condition of the release of the report was that the identity of the witnesses on whose evidence the report was prepared should not be released before twenty years after the issue of the report.  The report of the Panel  lacks transparency, and therefore not a reliable document.

This Report of the Secretary-General's Panel of Experts on Accountability in Sri Lanka consisted of Mr.Darusman from Indonesia, Yasmin Sooka from South Africa, and Steven Ratner an American.  This report becomes one of Navi Pillai’s sources  for her report now presented to UNHRC.  Ms. Navi Pillai had accepted the document as valid undoubtedly because the Panel which drew the report  consisted of  her compatriot and a friend Ms.Yasmin Sooka of South Africa.  The report has not been officially accepted as a UN Document.

Her second source of information is a supposed to be Documentary prepared by the UK Channel 4TV.  This documentary consists of images juxtaposed  without any eye witness evidences showing scenes of   atrocities the film recounts as committed by the Sri Lanka Armed Forces against the Tamils.  This is a sort of “ horror film” prepared using modern film technology which  gives the images a realistic dimension.  It could move persons, and acceptable to those  people who have not scene documentaries made using modern technology and virtual reality. 

sort of things that could be done with modern technology

The Channel 4 films cannot be accepted as evidence of any sort. Such documents will not be accepted in a court of law as evidence. No person with a knowledge of modern film technology will accept them as authentic.

Therefore as a concerned Sri Lankan, I appeal to the Honourable Delegates to reject the report presented by the UN High Commissioner Ms.Navi Pillai and also reject the US Resolution against Sri Lanka which also includes Ms.Navi Pillai’s  call for an International Independent Investigation.

Yours Respectfully,

Charles.S.Perera

US Resolution a planned move to take control of Northern Sea of Sri Lanka for a USA Military Base.

US deploys fighter jets in Poland and Lithuania amid Ukrainian turmoil

USA and its close allies who never intervened to  help Sri Lanka during the terrorism under which Sri Lanka was suffering, are very active now  after Sri Lanka on its own eliminated a ruthless terrorism.  They are not only present but interfering excessively into Sri Lanka’s internal affairs, and showing an exaggerated concern over  a violation of human rights and war crimes  during the course of elimination of terrorism by the Government and the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka.

USA, its allies and its Agent  Navi Pillai of  UNHRC have left out 30 years of  terrorism under which not only human rights , but even the right to live of the people of Sri Lanka was in the hands of a group of brutal terrorists, to concentrate only on  few days of the last phase of the elimination of terrorism for an international investigation for violation of human rights and war crimes.

What does USA, UK, Macedonia, Mauritius Moldova and the rest of their  European allies expect by moving a resolution against Sri Lanka calling for an International Investigation , keeping in mind the fact that none of them came to help Sri Lanka when it was suffering from the rigours of terrorism ?

USA, UK and its allies who help ultra Nationalists, criminals  who revolt against regimes in place, and destroy countries where they think possible terrorist against USA and their Western allies will come from, are presenting  resolutions demanding an International Investigations, as investigations already made  by the instance of the Government of Sri Lanka are not  acceptable to them. 

We the people of Sri Lanka do not trust USA , UK and its allies as it is they who are  barring Sri Lanka’s post-terrorist  progress and development , by  putting the Tamil people against the Government and the Sinhala and Tamil people.

In that situation how could  the people of Sri Lanka accept any investigation suggested by USA and its allies as independent, honest, fair , just and impartial ?

No, such an International Investigation will not and should not be accepted by the people of Sri Lanka,  as  the motive behind such an investigation is not to find the truth of what happened at the end of terrorism but to find out to what extent the findings would  help to enhance the anger of the Tamil people  against  the Government and the Armed Forces that eliminated terrorism.

The USA and its allies presume that the anger thus provoked, would make the Tamil Community in Sri Lanka  demand a definite territorial separation for the setting up of a separate Tamil State, that in fact is the motive behind the USA resolution against Sri Lanka.

There is no other reason as the Tamil people in Sri Lanka had been before terrorism and after terrorism treated  equally  as citizens of Sri Lanka by the different  previous Governments and the present Government and  by the  people of Sinhala and Musli Communities. 

The separation of the Tamil Community from the rest of the Communities in Sri Lanka, had been a call that had been made by the Tamil politicians to fulfil their personal political ambitions, and by India with an expansionist programme to satisfy the TamilNadu State of India.

This separation of the Tamil Community is in the Agenda of USA, UK and its allies. A separated Tamil territory would then accept USA and its allies to play the role of a protector- a political‘God Parent” to such a separate Tamil State of Sri Lanka,  which would eventually make way the coveted control over the Northern Seas of Sri Lanka to set up an American Military base, to counter the spreading influence of  China and Russia in the region.

The Honourable  Delegates to the UNHRC in Geneva are not so unintelligent  not to understand this long term secret plan of USA, UK and the rest of their Western allies  presenting them the USA Resolution against Sri Lanka for their approval by voting in favour of it.

We see how things are  happening in Ukraine where the President Viktor Yanukovych, had refused to join a European Union which is on the edge financially bankruptcy, and thereby antagonised the ultra Nationalist Ukrainians.

The USA and EU are supporting the nationalists in Ukraine, to set up a USA friendly Government in Ukraine and certainly not for any love USA and its allies have for  the people of Ukraine.  But they only expect to be partners in controlling Crimea and set up a USA Military Base close to Russia. 

AWACS Nato Planes

One need not be a space scientist to understand these manoeuvres of USA, which pretend to be  enormously concerned  for the Tamils of Sri Lanka to the extent of passing a resolution against Sri Lanka (-which has at last  found peace after thirty long years of terrorism,) . This resolution  is also not because of the enormous concern USA has  for  the Tamil people, but it is  to enable USA to set up a military base in the Northern Seas of Sri Lanka.

Do the Honourable Delegates at the UNHR Council in Geneva see the parallel  between what is happening in Ukraine and the US Resolution against Sri Lanka ?

Of the countries that sponsor the US Resolution against Sri Lanka Macedonia is a member of the EU and NATO, and Moldova which is the poorest country in Europe depends greatly on EU for economic support. Mauritius is a country in the Indian Ocean and seeks  European support  to keep its multiethnic population contented.  It has a very large  Tamil Coimmunity, which is the reason for peddling an anti Sri Lanka policy,   and confirming it by sponsoring the US resolution against Sri Lanka.

USA and UK have become the most unfriendly  Governments  in the world towards the developing countries.  They step into destabilise these  countries, discredit democratically elected regimes, put communities against communities within countries seeking always to draw benefits for America and its allies  following its principle of  “to hell” with the rest.

Our hero of  South Africa Mandela  was a friend of  Colonel Gaddafi of Libya. He saw through the hypocrisy of  USA  when it objected to his visiting Gaddafi . But Mandela could not forget his old friend-Brother Leader Gaddafi  who came to his help when he was in need, and he would not  accept that the friend of his enemies demand abandoning his old friends.

It is said, “One of the first things Nelson Mandela did when he got out of prison was to go to Libya to thank Brother Leader Muammar Gaddafi in person for all that he had done, Mandela made one of his most famous speeches while he was in Libya but they keep that info out of the main stream media, something else the West like to cover up is the end of that speech:

  “The eventual collapse of the apartheid system owed much to contribution of Muammar Qaddafi and Libyan people.” Mandela went on to say that“in the darkest moments of our struggle, when our backs were to the wall, it was Muammar Qaddafi who stood with us!”

That is what USA and his Western allies are.  They are an ungrateful lot who think first of themselves and others later or not at all.

The US Resolution against Sri Lanka,  and what USA and its allies are expecting to happen after getting the resolution passed by a majority vote at the UNHR Council in Geneva, have  all been well planned before hand.  

The first step in that plan is the Resolution against Sri Lanka and to have an Investigation into the last phase of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces’ military operations to end terrorism.  Of course the Investigators will be their people like Navi Pillai, and the result will be against Sri Lanka and its Armed Forces.

We request the honourable Delegates to consider well the motive behind the resolution and whether it is worth supporting the US Resolution against Sri Lanka- a small country that eliminated a ruthless group of terrorists and asks nothing from USA and the West but to leave Sri Lanka alone,  in peace and un-interfered to continue the development of the country that had been neglect for thirty years because of terrorism.

We trust Honourable Delegates to the UNHRC, that you will vote against this resolution of USA, and allow Sri Lanka to develop the country and reconcile the Communities at its own pace without precipitating in that effort merely  to please the USA and its Western allies.

Delegates at the UNHR Council should reject the report presented by Navi Pillai as her impartiality is in question.

The UNO according to its Charter is to develop good relations with its member states, to develop, peace and security. UNO is to harmonize the actions of its member states to solve their common economic, cultural or humanitarian problems.  It accepts the equality of all states without consideration of their  economic or political status.  Every one working in the UN System from the Director General to the junior most staff member should be an embodiments of the noble principles laid down in the UN Charter.

All members of the UN System should perform the duties allocated to them without bias, or prejudice  towards any Member State, and with absolute impartiality.  They should extend that impartiality not only to the Member States, but also towards Communities  within Member states without being favourable to one, and biased against another. 

These are the noble principles of the UN Charter that should be emulated by  every  member of the UNSystem.   Therefore in Selecting a Professional Staff Member  as a Head of a UN Commission, those who are responsible for such appointments should be careful to select a person  who could stand upto  those noble principles of the UNCharter,  against whom no finger  could be raised for partiality, bias, or prejudice.

Has the UNO selection board In the appointment of Ms. Navi Pillai as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights investigated  her suitability  in terms of the Noble Principles of the UN System laid down by the founding fathers of UNO ?

Even though the predecessor of the Present UN Commissioner for Human Rights , the Canadian Ms. Louise Arbour, lacked impartiality due to her being influenced by the Tamil Community in Canada, Navi Pillai the Present UN Commissioner for Human Rights is on the other hand  pro-Sri Lanka Tamils by being herself a Tamil, and suffered for being a Tamil. Therefore she is biased against the Government of Sri Lanka on the question of Sri Lanka Tamils. 

Hence her suitability to present a report on how Sri Lanka eliminated Tamil terrorists, and how it affected the Tamil people  in Sri Lanka is not acceptable. The Secretary General of UNO should not have allowed her to investigate and present a report on Sri Lanka as there is an evident  conflict of interest.

The Board of Selection of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, should not have gone by her qualifications alone, but should have examined her background and her  psychological suitability to hold this very high post in the UN System, as she has to work with countries having  Tamil Communities, to which she herself belongs.

She belonged to the South African Tamil Community.  She was born  and brought up in a  poor ghetto of the South African Tamils in Durban.  She suffered under South African apartheid  system   from her birth, and  throughout  her growing years.  She suffered because she was a Tamil.  

She recounts her child hood in her own words, “ We lived in Clairwood… a victim of race riots in 1949 and that’s what  caused the fear  on part of the residents of Clairwood, including my parents.  With me firstly, when I was six years old  I was the victim of robbery. My mother had given me my father’s entire monthly wages, which was Rs.5 to take to him.  He was a bus driver I was supposed to meet him at the corner and hand his money to him.  Meanwhile he had not asked for the money it was his conductor who had planned that ruse and he grabbed the money from my hand off he went.

My mother beat me up for that. I don’t know why the victim get beaten.  Anyway,and I ended up giving evidence in court at the age of seven in the same Durban High Court where I many years later sat as a judge….. but really what bugged me is that we didn’t get the Rs.5 back and I felt so guilty as a child that I had caused the lost to my parents.” 

The seeds  of racial hatred  was thus born in her from her very tender age of  six years.  The Registrar of the Natal University had advised her against studying law as it was not imaginable that a non-white lawyer gives instructions to white secretaries.  However she overcame difficulties opening her own law practice, as nobody would employ her, and becoming in 1995 to be the first coloured lawyer to appear in the South African Supreme Court.

It had been a continuous struggle against discrimination by the White apartheid South African Government because of her being a Tamil.  Thus she went on to become an anti apartheid activist.  These are remarkable achievements, but they also resulted in her becoming a staunch defender of those who are  discriminated against for being Tamils.  In the mean time LTTE had infiltrated into the South African Tamil Community in Durban and organised a series of LTTE Front Organisations.  They come in contact with the ANC Leaders and organised training Camps.

The LTTE carried out propaganda in South Africa for the Tamils in Sri Lanka.  They began drawing parallels with Sri Lanka and South Africa, equalling the treatment of Tamils in Sri Lanka to  that of the blacks in South Africa.  They drew parallels between British handing of South Africa to Boers with Sri Lanka to the Sinhalese. 

They claimed that in Sri Lanka the Sinhalese have occupied the lands of the Tamils, and made Tamils foreigners in their own homelands.  They did not hesitate to compare Mandela to Prbhakaran.  The LTTE front organisations started working with the South African Parliamentarians, and began collecting funds for the LTTE to campaign against the Government of Sri Lanka.

The anti-apartheid  activist that was  Navineethan  Pillai was certainly in contact with some of these LTTE Front Organisers as she was sympathetic to the cause of the Tamils. Having met these  sympathetic LTTE agents in South Africa Navi Pillai had no reason to believe that the Tamil were terrorists.  They were  only fighting to free themselves from the anti Tamil  Sinhala government.  This must have been driven deep into her mind having herself suffered from apartheid because she was a Tamil.

Her appointment as the UN  Commisioner for Human Rights, was for her an occasion to defend also the rights of the Tamils discriminated against by any government in the world.  But that regrettable psychological bias against any government  which is claimed to have discriminated against Tamils would  not allow Navi Pillai to investigate such a  problem impartially and objectively.  This is what has happened to Navi Pillai in investigating the problem of Tamils with the Government of Sri Lanka.

The problems of the Tamils in Sri Lanka have become her problem, and therefore she is out to take revenge from Sri Lanka Sinhala Government, as she was taking revenge from the apartheid Government of South Africa that discriminated against her for being a Tamil.

Navineetham Pillai is therefore  not suitable to have been appointed as the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.  Her background had not been sufficiently investigated and her  psychological make up  after having been born and  brought up in a brutal apartheid surrounding ,  and suffered  for her accident of birth as a Tamil which would remain a prejudice which will blind her to objective evaluation of political issues involving Tamil people,  had not been taken into consideration in selecting her to  such a high post in the UN System.

Jiddu Krishnamurthy, the well known mystic philosopher had said that each one of us  is a fractioned being.  An individual is therefore fractioned. One fraction is  of the  nationality, one of the religion, another of the social status, another of the profession, and so on.  Hence when one looks at a problem it will be with the fraction that is concerned most with the problem.  That does not allow one to see the whole of the problem.  Only way to be impartial and objective in looking at a problem is therefore to look at the it  as an un-fractioned whole.

Navi Pillai is therefore looking at the Tamil problem in Sri Lanka from the fraction of her Tamilness because of which she herself suffered.  In such a situation Navi Pillai

will never see the reality, and understand  the truth of terrorism in Sri Lanka. 

She will not see that  Sri Lanka government and its Armed Forces after elimination of terrorism is not discriminating against the Tamil Community,  but treating  the people of all Communities  as citizens of one Sri Lanka, without differentiating the people as belonging to a minority Community  or a majority Community. 

In what ever way it is explained, for Navi Pillai the problem is how she sees it.

In that situation the honourable Delegates at the present session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva should reject  the report present by the UN High Commissioner Navi Pillai, and consider her unsuitability to  hold the post of  the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights  and investigate into the problem of Sri Lanka as there is an evident conflict of interest.

America should change its divisive foreign policy to be a unifying force promoting peace, and bring together dissenting parties in countries.

This morning President Barrack Obama said he is concerned with the Sovereignty of Ukraine.  It is surprising how  President Barrack Obama while being  concerned about Ukraine’s Sovereignty, allows  his US State Department to interfere into the Sovereign State of Sri Lanka with an  Agenda of breaking up the territorial integrity of that country, and move resolutions demanding an International Investigation to inquire in to Sri Lanka’s elimination of  terrorism. 

What has USA to gain by harassing Sri Lanka ? 

If it USA is concerned with the Tamils of the North of Sri Lanka, then USA should bring the parties together to settle their problems in dialog instead passing resolutions against Sri Lanka at the UNHRC in Geneva.

USA and its allies with NATO forces divided Yugoslavia without any concern for its Sovereignty. USA was about to intervene in Syria to help rebels to depose President Bachar el Assad and his government.  Fortunately Russia intervened  requesting America not to intervene in Syria as it was an internal problem. 

To-day the rebel forces in Syria are withdrawing, despite an opposition to the regime of el Assad saying  that they have not given up their battle,  Syrians have a respite during which  to evaluate the wisdom of their revolt against the regime of Bachar el Assad-their leader.

All internal problems of countries could be solved by the governments and their people  if they are left alone without outside intervention to help those who rebel against the regime in place.  Even in Thailand the situation is  changing and the opposition to the government is considerably less and people begin to accept that aggressivity is destructive and it is only a dialogue between the warring parties that may pay dividends.

Pro European Protestors in Kiev

In Ukraine the population  around Kiev  are clamouring to form a pro-European government and President Viktor Yanukovych who was opposed to it was forced to step down,  while the people in Crimea have requested  Russia to intervene to stop  fall outs from Kiev. 

Pro Russian Protestors

If America is wise  it could play the role of a mediator to stop belligerence and bring dissenting parties to ease the situation, but instead there is manoeuvring with a re-emerging “ neoconservative ” elements like Victoria Nuland  to break up Ukraine.  If there is an armed intervention from either side that beautiful city of Kiev will also be reduced to rubble by NATO Air Forces.  Thereafter it will not be USA and its allies who will come to rebuild Ukraine.

Dozens of pro-Russian protesters rallied Tuesday in this Crimean Peninsula city, bitterly denouncing politicians in Kiev who are trying to form a new government, with some even calling for secession from Ukraine. A Russian lawmaker stoked their passions by promising that Moscow will protect them.

“Russia, save us!” they chanted.

In a Sovereign State there is  always an  opposition to the government in power.  Such oppositions unfortunately do not follow democratic principles  of  constructive criticism.  They oppose the government to fulfil political ambitions to depose a government in place even if it were strictly to follow the  political manifesto on which they were elected.

Such political oppositions to  a ruling party awaits for an opportunity to  create a state of chaos making it impossible for the government to maintain law and order.  In such a situation more often there are the foreign interventions without respecting the Sovereignty of a country to support those who oppose the government  to encourage the “rebels” to fight against the government and use undemocratic methods to make the government to step down.

This is what happened in Egypt , Tunisia, Libya, and Yugoslavia.  It is exactly what is happening in Ukraine and Venezuela.  The American and European intervention is uncalled for in Ukraine. In Venezuela, American agents are behind the scene.  Such interventionists do not act in the interest of the people, but to fulfil their own political interests as it is in Ukraine where American and European support for those who  manifest are to ward off  Russia and breakup Ukraine. 

In Venezuela it is to stop a Socialist Government become popular within the area of American influence as it happened in Chile. It is still the Monroe doctrine of maintaining American Influence over Latin American countries.  John Kerry  saying that the Monroe Doctrine is dead is only a ruse to include European countries in a combined effort  for balkanisation and regime change in Latin American Countries.  America still maintains a  protectionist foreign policy.

If a country is  left  uninterfered by USA and its allies, sending their Ambassadors-at-Large to inquire into violation of human rights thereby  helping those who are opposed to the government in place,  the country will be able to settle its problems with its people in dialogue in its own way.  It may perhappen in Syria and Thailand, if the government and the people are allowed to settle problems by themselves.

It is inconceivable why USA, and Britain are all out to  destabilise Sri Lanka just  five years after it ended  a ruthless terrorism., accusing the Government of  discrimination against the Tamil population, and calling for an International Investigation into the last phase of Sri Lanka Military operations to eliminate terrorism. 

There is John Kerry the Secretary of State, with  the American Ambassador Michelle Sison,  Assistant Secretary of State for South Asia Nisha  Biswal , American Ambassador –at-Large Stephen Rapp, 16 US Senators, David Cameron UK PM, and Hugo Swire Minister of State at the Foreign Office they are all there in strength to defend the Tamil people against the government. 

But strangely  none of them were heard of throughout the 30 years of terrorism in Sri Lanka when its people the young and old men ,women and children  were murdered, massacred, assassinated or blasted in claymore bombs or by  suicide bombers. Then there were none to sympathise with the Tamils, the Sinhala or the Muslims that were dying  in scores every month or so. There was none to stop human rights violation by the terrorists.

But after Sri Lanka without the help of USA, and the West eliminated that cancer of terrorism eating into it, the USA , UK and the rest of the Western countries come in numbers calling for International Investigation of violation of human rights, and war crimes during the last phase of the elimination of terrorism as if there had been no terrorism before that.

These interventions have become so nauseatingly offensive  as they are digging up old graves.  If they now find an unclaimed dead body some where in Sri Lanka, or a person missing or a  journalist not heard of, or  find  skeletons, the opposition to Government accuses the government and its Armed Forces as responsible. It is as if the Government of Sri Lanka is  doing  nothing other than killing and hiding dead bodies, and use white vans to kidnap people.

However,  USA is not without intelligent and wise people who could sympathise and understand the predicament of developing countries.  One such is:

Senator James Inhofe who tabled a resolution in the US Senate on behalf of 11 other Senators “ Calling on the United States Government and the international community to assist the Government of Sri Lanka, with due regard to its sovereignty, stability, and security, in establishing domestic mechanisms to deal with any grievances arising from actions committed by both sides during and after the civil war in Sri Lanka ”

Sri Lanka is only asking for  a space of time to recover from what it suffered for nearly three decades, heal its wounds and find ways and means to unite the separated communities, without  interference from outside to support the disgruntled Tamil politicians and their followers  to strengthen their opposition to the Government.

If not the USA and its allies will only  stop the progressive development of Sri Lanka  and  delay the  reconciliation of  the divided  communities.  Sri Lanka is progressing  at its own pace  reconciling the Communities and developing the country by a government led by a popular President dedicated to  the cause of the people.

It is time USA gives up its aggressivity and change its foreign policy to fall in line with China and Russia, and form into a union with them to help developing nations.  USA should stop its present policy of dividing developing countries and changing of regimes . 

Sri Lanka fought a war against terrorism and eliminated the terrorists five years ago, and let us leave it that as there is no necessity to go back five years to find out what happened then.  An international investigation will satisfy the USA and the West because the investigators would be men selected by them, and could therefore be trusted, but what can they discover  other than what the Government of Sri Lanka’s own Commission of Investigation discovered ?

Further more we see in the report which  is to be presented by Navi Pillai the UN Commissioner at the UNHRC in Geneva, that she refers to the report issued by the UN Panel of experts appointed by the  Secretary General of UN to inform him of  what happened in Sri Lanka during the elimination of terrorism. 

That report prepared by the UNSG’s Panel of Experts on Accountability without moving from the UN Secretariat was based completely on hearsay evidence. It   was not an official document but a report prepared for the Secretary General’s personal information.  Navi Pillai as the UNHR Commissioner has no right to present it or present  extracts from it, as it is not  an official document.

This report –the Darusman report states that the witnesses who gave evidence before the Panel should be made known only 20 years after its presentation. How could any one depend on a report stipulating such unacceptable  conditions ? 

Any evidence given by a witness should be presented to  the party accused to cross examine the witnesses. That is the law.  Any evidence without such legal access to witnesses cannot be accepted as correct.  Therefore the Darusman Report to which Navi Pillai refers is not a legal document, and the facts stated therein cannot  be accepted as correct.

President Barrak Obama, should at least now change his State Department’s  aggressive foreign policy.  The Government of United Kingdom is always prepared to help USA in any of its ill conceived activity. It is well known that Tony Blair the Prime Minister of UK prepared false documents to allow  President Bush to declare war against Iraq.

We therefore appeal to America and its allies to stop continuing to bully Sri Lanka, and grow up to be a reasonable democratic Government, and engage in a friendly dialogue with the President and the Government of Sri Lanka to settle problems on which there are disagreement.
