Sri Lanka Says Will Not Cooperate With The OHCHR-Driven “Comprehensive Investigation”

Sri Lanka has reiterated its categorical rejection of the Human Right Council Resolution 25/1, and said it will not cooperate with the OHCHR-driven so called “comprehensive investigation” emanating from it.  Sri Lanka has observed that the Government is firmly committed to continuing its ongoing processes of reconciliation, nation building and accountability, and towards this end, will continue to work with countries and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations that are genuinely interested in the welfare of the Sri Lankan people.

Ambassador Aryasinha

Sri Lanka’s position on the “comprehensive investigation” was outlined by Sri Lanka’s Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva and Leader of the Sri Lanka delegation Ravinatha Aryasinha on the opening day of the 26th Session of the Human Rights Council that opened in Geneva on Tuesday (10 June 2014). This followed UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navanethem Pillay briefing the Council in the course of her opening address on the manner in which she was operationalizing the “comprehensive investigation” on Sri Lanka.

Ambassador Aryasinha said, the March 2014 resolution “adopted with the support of less than half the Council’s membership which mandated this action, challenges the sovereignty and independence of a member state of the UN, violates principles of international law, is inherently contradictory, and is based on profoundly flawed premises inimical to the interests of the Sri Lankan people. The resolution’s lack of clarity sets a dangerous precedent and will destabilize the intricate balance in the homegrown process of national reconciliation. The prejudice and bias concerning Sri Lanka repeatedly displayed by the High Commissioner and the OHCHR remain of deep concern, while reports which question the credibility of the coordinator appointed for the investigation have already emerged “.

He said “it is ironic that the Resolution calls on the Government of Sri Lanka and the OHCHR to conduct parallel investigations.  Its OP 2 and 10, are contradictory, with the latter violating a basic principle of international law, that national remedies need to be exhausted before resorting to international mechanisms. The Government of Sri Lanka upholds that the processes of national reconciliation already instituted amply satisfies the elements contained in OP 2, and therefore the implementation of OP 10 becomes unnecessary”.

The Sri Lanka national statement also provided an update to the Council on Sri Lanka’s constructive engagement with the mechanisms of the Council and progress made in the reconciliation process since the Council last met in March 2014. It also detailed how although the LTTE has been militarily defeated, its overseas network, including trained cadre and funding by sections of the expatriate Tamil community, continues to pose a security challenge to Sri Lanka and the region.

The Sri Lanka delegation to the 26th session of the Human Rights Council includes Ms. Manisha Gunasekera, Deputy Permanent Representative in Geneva, Mr. Chandana Weerasena, Director/UN of the Ministry of External Affairs, Ms. Priyanga Wickramasinghe, Minister Counsellor of the Permanent Mission in Geneva, Mr. Chatura Perera, Second Secretary of the Permanent Mission in Geneva and Ms. Dilini Gunasekera, Second Secretary of the Permanent Mission in Geneva. The session which commenced on 10 June will continue until 27 June 2014.

    How can Sri Lanka agree to a UN investigation when the President has appointed Sharvananda who is or will be an accused in human rights violations case in the future to UN as a representative of Sri Lanka? Further President’s brother may also face the same charges. So Sri Lanka will oppose. Palitha Kohona is another individual involved in the white flag issue so again how can Sri Lanka agree to an independent UN investigation?

            Dear Robert R,

            You seems to have got more than your knickers in a twist. Untangle it slowly lest you lose what you have!

            Eusense has a valid point. There is no denying that the LTTE cannot be trusted to suicide bomb even with a flag of surrender. They suicide bombed Tamil civilians who sought safety by surrendering to the SL forces!

            If you have the facts, contest what Eusense says with facts instead of gazing into your crystal ball and speculating and getting everything entangled with your knickers in the process.

            I am Off the Cuff and you can take me on about why the UN cannot be trusted to deliver Justice.

            If you are willing to debate the issue, make your argument giving your reasons as to why the UN can be trusted to deliver Justice. I say it cannot be trusted and I have the FACTS to prove it

          So then tell us why those conventions are made by UN or other world bodies that anyone waving White flags in a war or the like situaiton should be held serious ?

          Should we as a nation better ask those bodies to think of amendments to such laws ?

          I have the Feeling you EUNACH OR EUSENSE is one another who would enjoy impunity rather than respect any kind of laws.

            Leelawathi,
            You are ill informed. White flag surrender is the accepted method of conventional wars. In other words in declared wars. LTTE was fighting a terror war. There are no UN conventional agreements on Terror wars. If you have read my earlier posts I have repeatedly said Sri Lanka can’t be held responsible for civilian deaths because it was a terrorist war. The first thing the UN should do is develop and charter a set of “do”s and “don’t” for terrorist wars. This is important because there are more terror wars in the world now than conventional declared wars.

        Rajesh,
        First, certain countries in North America and Europe are going to impose travel sanctions on certain individuals who are close to the regime. The next move would be to ban on Sri Lankan Banks operating through certain banks in those countries. If no cooperation is given to the inquiry these would be the initial results. If the western countries could bend Russia on the Ukraine issue, bending Sri Lanka would not be a major issue for them.

      Yes, you are dead right.

      So I wonder what Action UN would take in this regard.
      At the time Shravendra Silva was appointed, – it was not before the war, so UN could have got off on the right foot – then nothing would have gone this much wrong.
      Here WHOLE THING looks fishy – between UN, US and Srilanka. Why did US and UN allow Shravendra to be appointed to UN – for a position whose relevance was not clear to anyone prior to the war end ?

      How can we keep the faith on UNO today ? If UNO too behaved not right with all these appointments ? We can understand govt want to seek diplomatic impunity and keep the alleged criminals busy with such fortpolios .. but what I dont undrestand is the role of UNO in this regard ?

      Accusing does not mean some one is guilty. Now 5 years have gone by after the end of terror war in Sri Lanka, but still there is no evidence even to bring up a legal case against anyone. Stop speculating look for real evidence credible enough to prosecute these “criminals” you talk about.

      You are still talking about white flag issue? Parayabakaran and his co-terrorists should have swallowed cyanide capsules like his child soldiers, not wave white flags for god’s sake!

      Dear Mr. Ambassador Aryasinha

      “Sri Lanka Says Will Not Cooperate With The OHCHR-Driven “Comprehensive Investigation”

      UN HRC is following the Appeasement Policy. Sri Lanka is following the para-Sinhala belligerent policy. It is rather unfortunate the UN HRC does not understand that.

      Neville Chamberlain, Stalin, The French, and the Americans all found out later, it did not work.

      Then, they had to go in.

      Sri Lanka also found this out with LTTE. Now, it is UN turn to do get to Sri Lanka, because the Para-Sinhala with Para-“Buddhism” as practiced in Sri Lanka had no intention to give rights to Para-Tamils practicing Para “Hinduism”, as shown by history.

      So, the Para-Sinhala following Para-monk Mahanam “Buddhism”, will throw in all kinds of delaying tactics. The Para-Nayakas, like para-Mahanayaka , aka Pusnayaka will go along, and all these paras are an insult to Buddha,

      UNHRC knowing this will be very helpful.

      Ask Turkey, ask Russia. Ask USA in modern times…

      If you want something badly, you have to act on it…This was realized by LTTE and VP, and by many others…and by SL Army by defeating the LTTE…

      That is how revolutions start. .

      On does not get there by sitting on it.

      What Sri Lanka missing is truly the post scenarios, of para-Sinhala Monk Mahanama “Buddhist” and the Para-Tamils…

      This is where the UN and UN HRC can really help these two paras, the para-Sinhla and Para-Tamils…who came from South India.

      Why not send them back to South India, as a Gift to Hon. Mr. Modi.

      Interesting development that I read after my first comment. President is going to the Parliament to get the vote on issuing visas to the investigators. Well, this is very interesting as it clearly shows what sort of Democracy and Rule of Law we have and the respect the President of the country has for the Parliament. He once claimed that the Parliament is Supreme (Chief Justice impeachment) and above the “courts”. How can the President give the OK for the UN rep to inform the 26th session of UN that Sri Lanka will not cooperate with the UN investigators prior to going to the Parliament and subsequently after the announcement presenting the issue to the Parliament. What sort of respect we have for the legislature. Is the legislature a rubber stamp? If the Parliament is supreme how come he presents the case to the Parliament only now.

      This clearly shows that Parliamentary Select Committee on minority issues will also be a rubber stamp so why bother.

      We had the Rajapakses, Keheliya R, Weerawansa, Ranawake and other sundries throwing their tantrums and threatening blood and thunder before Navi Pillay visited – one that was stiffly opposed by the regime and it’s hundreds of unthinking cohorts. The more articulate and calm Prof. GLP even went to the extent of stating they will not give her a Visa. Unperturbed she came, she saw and she went. Weerawansa and his hordes did not sleep in the streets as they threatened. She has now set up her team
      and whatever noises the regime and its many bootlickers make, do and say the UN’s dictates cannot be ignored. It will only make the UN take a tougher stand and widen the penalties/sanctions. It is the mortal fear of the travel ban/sanctions, freezing of bank accounts that is reportedly behind Rajapakse trying to build a smoke-screen of street support. The regime-inspired demo opposite the Indian High Commission in Colombo 03 in one of those down the cards. Delhi is not going to like this.

      It is puzzling when the Rajapakses should increase the space between them and the Modi Govt for future friendly dialogues they are narrowing it in somewhat poor taste. It is time someone gave a Sinhala translation of the old Dale Carnegie’s “How to win friends and influence people” that SWRD said he read and re-read several times to his benefit. Those were the days when our leaders came from good educated stock and read good books.

    No… His statement is wrong. We as Sri Lankan are not oppose to any investigation against anyone who has done wrong doing. It can be Govt. , LTTE or paramilitary, Karuna or Douglas Dewananda. It can be D.M. Jayarathne or Galagoda atte Gnasara! This is against our will. We were fed up with all sort of terrorism. Even now we are not free. If someone says that it is falls ststement. That is why they drag those journalists who stayed at Galadari Hotelto street at mid night. Face the investigation, find out culprits including people like K.P and Karuna Amman too. It is not secret every govt has killed tousands in last 50 years. They need to face the consequences.

    Criminals, whether common criminals or war criminals against humanity logically don’t want an impartial investigation because they know they are guilty, so it’s no surprise.

    Nevertheless, the accused must have the proposed fair trial or investigation before convicted as guilty or not.

          MR regime corruption and LTTE terrorism are two different entities. I always said and say it again, MR did the right thing in eliminating terrorism from SL. And I give all the credit to him. I support what ever he did at the end of the war to get rid of this menace. If civilians were killed, I am sad but those are consequences of terror wars. If the LTTE did not use human shields, surrendered or swallowed cyanide capsules earlier there wouldn’t be any civilian casualties.
          The part I don’t support is his gradual transcend towards corruption since he won the war. That is why I feel its time for him to leave office now.

            But in the same time you say you give credit to him fully for elemination of terror within the country

            If you were not born yesterday, we are all well aware of the fact that the war was not started in 2005. And predecessors and MR himself were in the view it should be solved through negotiations not by slaughtering thousands of civilians at once as was the case with the war end in 2009. Top of all MR and clans to grab the 100% credit from SF and the forces is beyond all corrutptions, and beyond all bearing.
            If you are awake, yo should know NOT only corrutpion but almost every deal he touches are connected with far devious agendas. I really think you have got them all – having studied them closely, If you did, you would not have raised it again and again. All my circles would never agree with MR and his politics, though some of them consider his regime as if a relay runner did it, though ended the war.

              You consider ending and eliminating terrorism as corruption?? You appear to be a terror supporter to me!

              Where were you when the LTTE under the disguise of peace talks, was building up arms to terrorize Sri Lankans? How many times did this happen? This is why I support “no negotiations with terrorist” clause.
              Sama, are you really a Peradeniya product? I have doubts now! If MR listened to the west and stopped the war at the last phase what is SF going to do? Don’t you get that SF has to carryout what MR says? and that can include either “stop” or “proceed”! There is no need of extra credit for SF because that is his profession and trained for! Any other Army leader would have done the same too.

              You keep on repeating corruption. do you read and understand what I say or is too hard for you? How many times I have to say I support him on resolving the terror conflict but don’t agree with his politics and corruption?

                Youve been repeating it every time in terms of your support to eleminate terror.
                But having said that you cant ignore today´s alamring issues that have arisen thrhough the lack of wisdom of the current leadership. He handles the state affairs as if he is just started to do politics. I have no doubt dozens of young candidates from varied parties would go extra mile to win the HEARTS and MINDs of the minority folks; the representatives of them in order to go for the negotiated settlement. Tell me what genuine actions has the topleadership taken in terms of the discussions with TAMIL representatives since last Sep 2013? Who should take the initiative if not the govt representatives ? How difficult had it then been to pull them to the discussions tables at the time the war was fighiting. But today, just because IC put the enormous pressure on the govt to hold elections, so they did it accordingly, and to comfort the dignitaries scheduled to be in teh country for CHOGEM, but since then not an inch of progress is made towards negotiations.

          Most of these sexual violence claims by asylum seekers are false. If they really escaped sexual violence why did they come all the way to UK? Why didn’t they go to Tamil Nadu or any other country close to SL? These are mostly economic refugees making up stories for asylum purposes. That is why they were deported back to SL by the UK authorities. Lets see what happens.

            “Most of these sexual violence claims by asylum seekers are false.”

            Could cite any evidence.

            “Why didn’t they go to Tamil Nadu or any other country close to SL?”

            So Sinhala/Buddhists also want to determine where the asylum seeking Tamils go when they escape from this island.

            “These are mostly economic refugees making up stories for asylum purposes.”

            You may be right however Sinhala/Buddhists too follow their Tamil brethren, seeking bogus asylum in the West/Australia.

              Vedda,
              I don’t have to prove, the UK and Australian govs. have already found that this rape stories are a scam. That is why they are deporting them back to Sri Lanka.
              What kind of an IQ you have? you don’t have to be “Sinhala/Buddhists” to investigate why these fake victims don’t go to Tamil Nadu. The Christians in the west are the one’s who raised this issue.

                While continuing to say that you are against to MR corruptions/abuses, but to make every effort to cover their rapes that have come to surface through some journalists that interviewed those victims – I have the feeling you either sick or no any intetions to see the facts.

                  leelawathie,
                  Why do you think I am covering up MR on rape? I just want to know the truth. I am yet to see credible evidence of rape. I wan’t to see evidence of mass rape against Tamils as you try to tell the outside world.
                  Without real victims how can justice be served? If there are victims they should come out of hiding and give interviews to every media. I don’t want to hear 2nd and 3rd hand stories from NGOs and other watch dogs who are often funded by the Tiger remnants.
                  Who are these journalists and the victims you talk about? Without just saying give me links and other information so that I can decide for my self.

            Watch out baby. Dont offer you to have raped because you sound to be a person even if you are raped, you would go on saying – no that it was me who played with them. You ve been making every effort to paint the picture in favour of you. Good luck. Naivity, stupidity and frog in a well mentality are filled in you.

        @srilal,
        Actually the truth is, the idea of this panel is belongs to some one else and not mine. He may have ignored the name of Dr. Mervin Silva deliberately as the best Joker in the Country is already in the investigation panel.

        Lapatiya we missed your humorous comments.
        Where were you mate. Please do comment often.
        I would love to hear that Sri Rojana Jana ranjana lankadheeshwara part.

        Srilal,
        There were dozens of comedians chaos-specialists rapists criminals kudu-kings. So we don’t now who you were exactly referring to, you better come out straight mate. No one can guess just one because they all of them are the same lead,guided and protected by an expert IRC rogue and his family.
        Besides there is nothing to hide.

    “……………………………until natural remedies are exhausted…………..”
    Five years after the end of the conflict,are not enough.
    Aryasinha cannot bluff the whole world.

    The president has said that “sri lanka has nothing to hide”.
    If so, why not cooperate with the UNHRC probe?

    “…reports which question the credibility of the coordinator appointed for the investigation have already emerged.“

    These defamatory reports are prepared by men of straw at the behest of persons who have committed very serious crimes but want to prevent the details from coming out. The intention is to obstruct any type of investigation that will expose those who have committed grave crimes on a mass scale.

    This type of mud-slinging against investigators is a natural reaction by guilty parties who want to bury the truth along with the skeletons of the hapless victims.

    Sri Lanka shall Not Cooperate with such WEASLES AND FRAUDS.
    These are the kind of people Pillay is capable o0f appointing?
    Does Pillay has any credibi;ity left other than diaspora $$$$$ ?

    Cooperate with DAME Cartright…. such a Weasle ?? Dame Silvia Cartwright who was a judge on the Khmer Rouge Tribunal to head the investigation against Sri Lanka. Defense lawyers sought her removal as she had been having secret meetings with the prosecutors. So much for Cartwright…… Need to cart her out.
    An Amnesty International lackey who crept into the UN- SANDRA BEIDAS Expelled from Somalia: Sandra Beidas working for Navi Pillai’s office was banned by Somalia in 2011….
    Kicked OUT Expelled from South Sudan: The expulsion of Sandra Beidas in 2012 following her expulsion from Somalia was really no surprise.KICKED OUT
    Sandra Beidas roles within the UN system.
    Prior to joining the UN, Beidas was working for Amnesty International which adds to her controversial past records.

      Thondamannar:

      Don’t be a fool. When SG Ban appointed a panel to inquire into the alleged atrocities, the SL regime played hard ball and declared that it would not cooperate blah, blah, blah but quietly went by the back door to influence the panel. The joker Weerawansa fasting “unto death” and MR serving his juice, Warewa, what a touching scene. Times are too bad for the Rajapaksas but not to worry, there are savious like you to help them.

      Ariyasinha is a joker, that’s all. Having been in the UNHRC, he should know that those foxes that stubbornly refuse to cooperate would eventually be gassed out.

    What is important is not what Mr.Ravinatha Ariyasinha has said…
    (he obviously has to side the President though he says Country..
    because for him too the President is the Country..)
    but what the UNHRC ..OHCHR …will do..from here onwards
    as they would not have embarked on this investigation process
    without being fully aware of this action by the Govt of Sri Lanka..

    However this rejection now proves beyond doubt that the Govt has
    been concealing the truth of the merciless Slaughter or Massacre of
    the innocent people in the North..

    As Bishop Rayappu Joseph very well said…
    in 2008 according to Govt Statistics there had been 429,000 people in Mulaitivu..
    .but in 2009 only 289,000 had returned…no trace of the 140,000 people…?
    WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM…?

    Surely a Govt who says they are more HUMANE !!! than UN should be
    in a position to answer…it is after 5 years…

    One has to visit the areas to understand the reality of what would have happened
    in 2009….the whole area is empty…dark and if listen carefully you can hear the
    innocent cry for justice……this is TRUTH.

    To anyone who observed the UNHRC sessions of the past few years it is obvious that Sri Lanka has been already found guilty by the UN and the West. This won’t change whether SL corporate or not in this investigation.
    Therefore it is best for SL not corporate with this kangaroo court!

      Eusense: “To anyone who observed the UNHRC sessions of the past few years it is obvious that Sri Lanka has been already found guilty by the UN and the West.”

      What UN and IC want to do now is comply with the UN process and record it officially so that what ever action needed can be taken officially.

        I now believe EUSENCE should be a mental case.

        He comes with that and this without any kind of references to his contents but always denying world sstandards – in a way telling us no no he is not a supporter of MR regime, but just respected that MR regime eleminated terror.
        Anyone would be happy to be witout a war – but STOP the war should be connected with near to ZERO casualties. Was it the case in srilanken context ?
        We are all aware of the fact- NO.
        So were the previous president unable to succeed the war if they really want to apply MR tactis (killing as Ruwandians did to eleminate the terror)? Yes almost every president could win it…
        But almost every one inlcuding Premadasa had something in common – to respect WORLD ethics which is to harm no civilians.

        And why the need of alleged war crime investigations: ONLY BECUASE OF THE THE MENTIONED difference of the MR human slaughtering friendly administration.

        So what is wrong with any kind of proper investigation against the allege crime activities ? We use the word – alleged here, but many of us are perfectly aware that MASS KILLINGS OCCURED. If I as sinhalaya lost my ones, I would go AMOK… that is human.
        Eusense – or any dimwits heavy weights to repeat their say – will not guide us for a PEACE FUL SOLUTION BUT end up with like FESTERING wounds further as no cure could be the result.

    While the art of diplomacy is to make friends with other countries, Sri Lanka travels in the opposite direction. We are at loggerheads
    with India in the region, Canada, Britain and the UN. What is wrong
    with the Rajapakse style of dealing with the outside world?

      “While the art of diplomacy is to make friends with other countries, Sri Lanka travels in the opposite direction.”

      As was the case with VP.

      MR is only following him.

    Sacrifices of Tamil Youth & Children……….

    Diaspora funded, Catholic Church promise of Martyrdon & failed Eelam broke the backbone of the Northern Tamil Population.
    Decimated Tamil future generations.

    Thyen we have missing LTTE terrorists rise from the dead and appear in India.

    Now, Diaspora/Catholic Church and the West force war crime inquiry by a committee included with rogues in the form of Sylvia Cartright & Sandra Beidas.
    Sandra Beidas kicked out from Sudan and posted to Entebbe awaiting investigations AND also a former MEMBER OF THE AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL.

    Sylvia Cartright’s record in the Khemer Rogue inquiry & her actions there speaks for itself.

    Now, are the Diaspora/Catholic Church & the West forcing another backlash in Sri Lanka?
    That is what appears to be happening as these people including the diaspora does not care for those Tamils living in Sri lanka & they never cared.

    ITS A NIGHTMARE SCENARIO…………
    Fot the Cyber terrorists and Tamils living off the LTTE mantle care two hoots for the repercussions.
