Attorney General Dappula De Livera appears to have paved the way for members of the armed forces and the security establishment to be prosecuted for war crimes and crimes against humanity as defined in international humanitarian law, under local jurisdiction.
Dappula
On July 1, President Maithripala Sirisena‘s hand-picked Attorney General Dappula De Livera has instructed the acting IGP to produce former Defence Secretary Hemasiri Fernando and IGP Pujith Jayasundera who was sent on compulsory leave before a Magistrate as murder suspects implicated in the killing of more than 250 people on Easter Sunday.
“This incident is one of the gravest crimes in Sri Lanka’s criminal history,” the letter from the AG states, adding that negligence by both former officials who held important roles in the security establishment when the April 21 suicide bombings took place, had led to ‘grave crimes against humanity’ under International Humanitarian Law (IHL).
The reference in the Attorney General’s letter marks the first time the country’s state prosecutors have acknowledged that crimes under IHL can be prosecuted under local laws, rather than as “murders” or “abductions” under Sri Lanka’s ordinary Penal Code.
It is also the first time since allegations of war crimes and indiscriminate shelling against civilians trapped in the No Fire Zone during the last stage of the war in 2009 surfaced several years ago, that lawyers for the State have conceded that the mass killing of 250 people constitutes a ‘crime against humanity’. According to UN estimates, some 40,000 people including civilians were killed in indiscriminate shelling in the final months of Sri Lanka’s war against the LTTE. The UN has repeatedly referred to this violence as grave violations of International Humanitarian Law.
Contrary to the recent assertion of the chief legal officer of the state, successive Governments have maintained that Sri Lankan security officials cannot be hauled up for war crimes and crimes against humanity. Both these crimes are routinely tried at the International Criminal Court in the Hague, but Sri Lankan troops have never been made vulnerable to the prospect of prosecution in that jurisdiction by virtue of the fact that the country is not a signatory to the Rome Statute of 2003 which set up the Hague Court. However Sri Lanka is a signatory to the Geneva Convention which defines IHL and sets out the principles and customs of warfare.
The letter to the acting IGP, released by AG De Livera’s Coordinating Officer State Counsel Nishara Jayaratne also ordered him to provide explanation within a day as to why Fernando and Jayasundera have not been arrested and produced as suspects after instructions to that effect went out on 27 June 2019.
According to the June 27 letter to the Acting IGP sent by the Attorney General, based on evidence gathered so far the ex defence secretary and suspended IGP can be charged under sections 296 (whoever commits murder shall be punished by death), 298 (Causing death by negligence), 327 (acting in a manner that hurts or endangers others), 328, 329 and 410 of the penal code.
While the inaction of the two officials certainly contributed to security failures that might have mitigated the loss of life and damage from the bombings, legal observers noted that AG De Livera was quite clearly picking and choosing officials who were aware of the intelligence warnings. State Intelligence Services head SDIG Nilantha Jayawardane a well known confidant and security briefer to President Sirisena is going to escape prosecution on the President’s orders, Colombo Telegraph learns.
Hemasiri Fernando told the Parliamentary Select Committee this month that it was not the practice for him to brief Sirisena on intelligence matters, since the SIS head had told him that he (Jayawardane) personally provided the briefings and had been in the practice of doing so since 2015. However Sirisena has blamed Fernando and IGP Jayasundera for the failure to keep him informed of detailed security warnings. Colombo Telegraph has previously revealed that SDIG Jayawardane had briefed President Sirisena on at least 3 occasions prior to the blasts. After Fernando and IGP Jayasundara provided damning testimony before the Parliamentary Select Committee probing the Easter blasts, detailing humiliating accounts of Sirsiena’s disastrous handling of security affairs, the President’s vendetta against the two officials has intensified sources close to the President’s Office told Colombo Telegraph.
Colombo Telegraph also learns that President Sirisena was outraged when AG De Livera originally ordered the CID to launch criminal investigations into the conduct of the SIS Director and his pet as well. In subsequent “studies” of the brief the AG has ensured that Sirisena’s favourite officers including Jayawardane were omitted from the list the CID was ordered to investigate as being culpable for the Easter attacks.
“If you study the AG’s conduct carefully everything becomes clear,” said one senior attorney who did not wish to be named. “AG Dappula is going after the political targets Sirisena wants him to go after. The Bond Scam suspects to humiliate the UNP Government before elections. Hemasiri and Pujith Jayasundara who have humiliated him publicly by saying he knew of the security warnings before the bombs went off. And all the while he is delaying and sabotaging cases against the Rajapaksa family – it is very clear what the agenda is.”
Piyadasa Yalagala / July 2, 2019
New political agenda by AG or Western Ideologies are still behind that defeat of LTTE in 2009 May 19th is not accept Right to exercise of that our National Sovereignty.
While is saying that USA of hegemonies vehelenmlly denied that of exercise of sovereignty by legally elected govt of Sri Lanka having NO Right fought against any type of Terrorism by our own security forces.
This is how that so-called origin of “War Crime” came into being ? Who are behind this Law proposed by AG ? Who are the War Criminals?
1 People elected Govt by ballots are they “War criminals”?
2 Elected by democracy majority voters of that rule attack by GUN point politiac are Terrorist or Democratic?
We wanted to answer from you AG ,where you stand for ? Stand for whom ?
Crux of matter have be clear by AG ?

Hats off and thanks a million to Mr. de Livera for seeking to end the culture of immunity and impunity for politicians and their stooges.
This kind of biased and one sided reporting attacking the first honest AG that Sri lanka has had in a long time is a sad reflection on the Colombo Telegraph.

Forget the “War Crimes”. Shouldn’t these two “Top Officials” of the State be made “Answerable” and “Accountable” for the “Mass Massacre” of the Innocent Civilians attending to their religious rituals and also “Hundreds” of other victims who suffered severe injuries, some of whom are still fighting for life in hospitals. If the county’s “Top Cop” who is charged with “Safety & Security” of the people can escape that “Responsibility” by merely “Forwarding” the “Information” down the line and allowed to KEEP QUITE, without ACTIVELY getting involved in “Follow Up Action”, does anyone think he should be EXCUSED for the “Mass Massacre” of 21st April? Equally, that Secretary of Defense, who can merely explain that he “Did Not Expect a Disaster of this MAGNITUDE” be allowed to go FREE. We know know the SERIOUSNESS and the MAGNITUDE of the “Prior Warnings and Notifications” that were available to all those in-charge of the Security & Safety Authorities. In that respect both the Head of the Government – the PM and Head of the State and as the Minister of Law and Order , the President must be “HELD RESPONSIBLE & ACCOUNTABLE. There are so many others in this Security Establishment who FAILED and NEGLECTED their “DUTY” by the people who MUST be brought to justice. This “FAILURE”, “NEGLECT” and “LET DOWN” of the PEOPLE , in my opinion is WORSE than “War Crimes”. In a “War” you fight an “Enemy” and that crime could take different phases; but in this particular instance, it was “NOT WAR”. The “Crime” was “Premeditated” and that “Crime” was WELL KNOWN to the authorities charged with the DUTY and RESPONSIBILITY to provide security and safety of the people. They did not do ANYTHING at all to prevent it happening. They were not in “COMBAT” with any of those perpetrators. So please don’t bring in this “WAR CRIMES” BS. Let the PROSECUTION go on; but not stop with these TWO, instead the “BIG WIGS” must be HAULED up on a charges against “HUMANITY”.

CT!
The law of the country was never upheld in the past decades coz the judiciary was politically influenced/driven and the people who were in charge were ether political appointees, wanted to be close to politicians or just did not have the courage/mental toughness to stand up for what is right and do the right thing. That’s why Sri Lanka has noise dived to this current point that we are recognised as one of the most corrupt countries in the world where the politicians dictate the law for there own protection!!!
Now when AG Dappula De Livera is doing the right thing to bring back law and order and to ensure the law is enforced which was never seen before in the past several decades it is a shock especially to the corrupt politicians, thugs and gangsters that victimised innocent people!
So giddy up CT for another very feeble attempt to drum up support … sucks to be you!!!

A big Boost for
The long planned Sri Lanka Rohingya Moors agenda.
OMG, big bonus for a certain political party to form a 100% Sinhala only Goverenment (as per rumours) their agenda is to cancel the citizenships of more than 60 % of Sri Lanka Moors on basis that there are no records of their ancestors entering Sri Lanka legally unlike Indian Tamils, Malays ,Mamons , Indian Moors, Borahs ,Kojas , Ahmedyas, Sindis ,kujaraties,Malayalees and the Thelungu speaking people who enteted legally during the legal governments of Portugese , Dutch and The British Colonials .,except The Indian moors (mainly Azath Sally and AHM Fowzy) who have called upon their Indian Moor community to stand by The Sri Lankan Moors the rest of the above mentioned communities have assured alligence to the new Sinhala only political Party for 2020, on gaurantees receieved for protectection on special understandings by their spritual and business leaders and politicians overseas.

Moors BS has brought the emotive term ‘Rohingya’ into play. I’m reminded of the time that the Tamils told the world that the refugee centres were ‘concentration camps’. Same old BS from the noisy minorities.

According to visitors and detainees, some of the detention camps were worse than concentration camps.

Yes, without a gas supply and ovens, without detainees used for slave labour and medical experiments, without starvation reducing them to cannibalism; life must have been pretty tough for the Tamils.

Good news in the sense that even those in charge of Security will be charged, but the bad news is that the politicians still get off scot-free. We need a system where there is objectivity in investigating all that endangers peace.

This monk talks more common sense than all the men in the Attorney General’s Department put together:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVr17VcWQFk
.
I wonder how many will listen to forty minutes of common sense, in Sinhalese, of course? Can this be translated into English and Tamil, please?
.
According to Ven Galkande Dhammananda Thero, there is no politician in Sri Lanka who can possibly rise to the required level. Indeed, in relatively recent times he sees only Mandela and Lee Kwan Yew as rising to the required level. The latter was only a nominal Buddhist, but what about the Dalai Lama?
.
Ven Galkande Dhammananda Thero is obviously his own man, and is well worth listening to. I wish he had endorsed Nagananda Kodituwakku, but he hasn’t. I hope that many will listen to him, and will realise that people like Dappula de Livera are still governed by “His Master’s Voice”.

I’m trying to be philosophical about the misjudgement of a busy moderator – but there are limits. I hope that whoever is on duty now, let’s this comment through. I also appeal to my disappointed friends (so many stop commenting after one or two such experiences) to understand the pressure that editors are under owing to trolling by some.

Sinhala_Man / July 6, 2019
Yes, there are trolls.
.
K.A. Sumanasekera is one. This is a problem that we face with too much information and comments flying around. Nobody here will disapprove of my labelling of Sumanasekera because CT readers belong to a different social sub-set of Sri Lankans. I have put him in his place here:
.
https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/easter-sunday-attacks-stop-illegal-arrests-human-rights-commission-of-sri-lanka-tells-police/comment-page-1/#comments
.
On the other hand, there’ll be no approvals, because nobody returns to old articles. Democracy is faced with one set of problems, CT with another.
However, to be objective, we have our own brilliant Amarasiri and Native Vedda. They do a wonderful job; Sumanasekera will say, for us. Who is to judge? Some will say that people like me write too much, but I missed this article by my one time pupil in Bandarawela M.M.V.:
.
https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/time-to-think-in-black-white/
.
Kumarage is busy, so even now, I won’t disturb him. Bishop Dhilo Canagasabey put him on the “prestigious” Board of Governors of S. Thomas’. He resigned after two years saying it resembled a social club.
.
About two years ago, the rascally “Priest-Headmaster” of S. Thomas’, Bandarawela, managed to persuade Kumarage to be the Chief Guest at the Prize Giving. Had I known, I would have been present. I was later told by some teachers that a “Professor from Moratuwa” had been the Chief Guest, and had made the best speech that they had ever heard.
.
The evil creep in everywhere. How to expose them is the question.
.
Well, that statement of mine also is an over-simplification. Few people are totally good or totally evil: we’ve got to expose their wrong actions, but too often we decline to speak out – or get put off by one mistake by the moderators.

There are no Good and Bad Politiikkas specially in Lankawe…
They all all bad crooks.
But our inhabitants have to pick the smaller ones…

Unfortunately some of our Sinhala Buddhists haven’t got that ability to differentiate , specially when they are put on Samurdhi and a Quarter or Half of Alouysious’s Gal Arrackku and a packet of Buriyani.
Plus a one off Cash Bonus as well which they did in 2015..
–
Otherwise the Yhapalana Conspirators , the UNP London, Suren Surendran, Whiskey Madam, .. Mangala Samare and Galleon Ravi would have never been able to put that 6.2 Million ticks in Sira’s Box.

This country has become traitors’ land now. Everyone is betraying the masses, be it government politicians, the Opposition and the government officials.
If the “title” of this article is true, this will be an unbelievable treachery by Dappula de Livera.
Hey CT, where is the proof? There is nothing in the article.
On a separate matter, the slave government has now taken a fast route to fulfill its promises.
After their failed Federal Constitution, they are now all out to hand over the country to the USA by way of some agreements.
The Opposition has no guts to go against the USA.
Up to today, there is no statement by the Opposition Leader against SOFA, VFA or ACSA which should be the focus right now. Instead, they have taken a contract to divert people’s attention to yesterday’s slogans. The mandate given to UPFA/JO in 2015, is now putting into prostitution.
No wonder people don’t bother about politicians anymore.
I don’t think Sinhalese are fully aware of USA’s newest shenanigan in Sri Lanka.
A serious word against handing over Sri Lanka’s ownership to the USA through SOFA and ACSA should go far and wide .
We cannot allow a handful of government politicians, whose days are numbered, to grant supreme rights to the USA to acquire 2 million acres of our lands including two ports, to build a fully functional military base with unprecedented diplomatic, immigration and legal rights to their military and other personnel.
I think Buddhist priests could educate people about the American invasion through Dhamma sermons.

I wonder what somewhat sensible people like Duminda Silva & Mahinda Aamraweera thinking in the face of MY 3 utterly irrational & even silly behavior. I think that It is already too late for the sensible leaders of SLFP to demand MY 3’s resignation from the presidency as well as from leadership position of SLFP. The more it continues like this, the worse the embarrassment on the party & its leaders will be. Why not star with Kumara Welgama right away before it is too late? Welgama may not be the ideal leader but SLFP doesn’t have anybody else except Mahinda Amaraweera whose popularity range is much more limited.

lowistudent from low colege / July 2, 2019
On a slightly different issue, it has always being the practice of the AG’s Department not to instruct the Police to arrest anybody but to ask the Police to investigate and arrest if the Police are satisfied that there are grounds for arrest. Section 32(1) of the Criminal Procedure Code says who may be arrested without a warrant. They include any person. who has been concerned in any cognizable offence or against whom a reasonable complaint has been made or credible information has been received or a reasonable suspicion exists of his having been so concerned. The decision to arrest is always left to the Police. How can Dappula now direct the Police to arrest? This is not about the guilt or otherwise of Jayasundara and Fernando. Let them be arrested if there is evidence to the satisfaction of the Police. Can Police arrest just because AG is satisfied? It is the arresting officer who must be satisfied. What happens if the courts decide in a FR case that there was no material to arrest. The Police cannot then say AG told us to arrest and the legal requirement is that the arresting officer must be satisfied.
Also, why is Dappula following in the footsteps of Sarath Silva? Dappula has begun issuing press statements and disclosing instructions sent to the Police. Reminds us of Sarath Silva’s media briefings. Will Dappula publish all instructions he gave in all criminal cases? Why pick and choose cases that the President is interested?
And who is this little girl (State Counsel) issuing statements?

Army Intelligence Chief Amal Karunasekara, former Chief of Presidents staff Mahanama, former Chairman of State Timber Corporation (They got caught while taking a bribe for President) and status of many other former high ranking state officers. All were covering crimes of former Rajapaksha regime. No need to be a rocket scientist to understand that Thappulana Livera is dancing to the tune of Gomarala. Thappulana Livera has to remember one simple logic that he go along with Gomarala, but he has to eat alone when the food served after 5 -6 months. Do the things right way and people will look after you or you will find a place near to infamous former AG and CJ Sarath Silva in the history. Also Thappulana Livera should not forget that he argued before Supreme Court that President can dissolve Parliament before 4 1/2 years according to Constitution and SC ruled out that President has violated the Constitution.

Post independent political of governors were to failure to address democratic reforms by ruling political classes many decades. So current crisis that our Nation been challenging by USA intervention of line of SOFA and ASCA which proposed agreement with of one man party leadership Wicks of UNP regime of that installed of Presidential mandate by MS in 2015 Jan 8th.
The particular mandate won by MS has been misused by regime of Wickramasinghe of R; UNP’s has turn that voting power to sell ours nation sovereignty to USA hegemony….domination of whole Indo-Pacific region. It is other than will be USA that military domination without Will of citizens of Lanka.
Needless to say in fact of reality of that MS was been a puppet of UNP-regime was which back by CBK and other political classes of lumpens.
All complexities of condrication has exist in our society . Many are inherited from during ruthless rule of that 150 years of British colonialism. In fact UNP of the political party and classes also by products of colonial era of remnants of under-development of corny capitalism.
Therefor 71 years of independent of that half years nation was rule by UNP policies of Neoliberalism .
It was USA and UK axis depend on politics of UNP was not that democracy and its development ,it was purely backward of unsustainability model of economy -political order of nation .
Well crisis turn has into impending catastrophe of political-economy-social of the whole nation by USA intervention ;that alliance with local partner of UNP leadership of Wickramasinghe clan.
Well, 21/4 Muslim terror attack was locally oriented one by Islam extremism of Thafukie Jammad which that UNP-leadership was behind .! @ $$$.

But honestly I believe, he behind the scene, is an anti Sinhala Buddhist, because all what he says and writes undermine the reputation and legitimacy of the Sinhala people. Even though Sinhala history is an invention of burrowed every thing from A to Z, yet they have lived as a separate entity for quite some time in SL under the Sinhala Buddhist flag. Ever since buddhism brought in in 200 BCE it made an impact in Ilankai. It overtook hinduism and jainism thanks to stupid Brahmanism and the caste discrimination.For a so -called race that did not have a root to start with this arrival of Buddhism made all the difference. It is yet great they retained Buddhism in the south despite the revival of Hinduism. That needs credit. And thus ended up as the only people in the whole universe. Not only that even today, the way they behave, carry on politics, value religion, value humanity, value right and wrong, value justice, value righteousness, value lives, value morality, value yuddha dharma, value democracy, etc is a clear proof that they are a unique RACE racing against time. Doctors forcible sterilising women, hotels feeding morons with sterility medicines, and soon they will say that Muslims are squeezing their balls while sleeping. And no doubt Mahanayakaas, maha balu dostharayas, balu news papers are waiting on a polima to do the propaganda.
