Recently. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa appointed a three man Commission to study and find out if any human rights violations have been revealed in the Lesson Learnt and Reconciliation Commission [LLRC] Paranagama and Udalagama Commissions by ignoring and rejecting the several Reports of the UN Special Rapporteurs including United Nations Secretary General Ban-Ki-Moon’s Report which detailed comprehensive human rights violations. However, Sri Lanka has amply demonstrated its defiance to not to implement the Recommendations contained in the 30/1, 34/1 and 40/1 UNHRC Resolutions. In response Sri Lanka adopted the usual and convenient tactics of requesting extensions and obtaining them easily with the support of UNHRC member countries but Sri Lanka has thereby successfully achieved its goals by keeping the Resolutions in vacuum and at bay for the last five years. Now it has dealt the final blow by informing its withdrawals and rejections of those Recommendations and Resolutions describing them as external interference on Sri Lanka’ s sovereignty and integrity though they were also the co-sponsors of those Resolutions.
UNHRC High Commissioner for Human Rights Michalle Bachelet’s leaked report which could be submitted in the forthcoming UNHRC 46th Session in March 2021 is forthright, frank and has exposed the tantrums and gimmicks of Sri Lanka enabling it to discard, ignore and finally reject those Resolutions with contempt while challenging the credibility, status and strength of the prestigious UN body UNHRC among the World of Nations.
UNHRC High Commissioner for Human Right’s proposed draft Resolution has brought Sri Lanka down to its knees and has sent shivers and panic. As a result, it is now busy scrambling and searching for futile damage control exercises which could be laced with empty pledges and promises as before including face saving measures like the recent three man Presidential Commission hurriedly assembled by a panicky President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
This eye washing Commission is mandated “To find out whether Presidential Commissions of inquiry and Committees which have been appointed to investigate human rights violations have revealed any human rights violations of international law and other such serious offences”.
It is learnt that LLRC appointed in 2011, and Udalgama and Paranagama Commissions appointed in 2014 to look into enforced disappearances would fall within the “Search and reveal for any human rights violations”. It is to be noted that said Commissioner’s Reports will be retrieved from the archives for this purpose.
It is a palpable truth that human rights violations are entrenched in the politics of Sri Lanka which was inaugurated in 1948 by late Prime Minister D. S. Senanayake and continues unabated with some respites at occasional periods. So far more than 15 State Commissions have been appointed since 1977 starting with the Sansoni Commission with a majority of them dealing with human rights violations committed against the Tamils including Tamils of Indian Origin.
The mandate itself is hollow and farcical which targets to confirm the positions that so far no human rights violations have occurred in Sri Lanka. As such the Commission is attempting to scan some of the state appointed commissioners’ Reports for search and possibly reveal if any human rights violations have been reported by the Commissioners.
In this respect. the several graphic pictures of extra judicial killings by security forces photographed by Sri Lankan soldiers and given for publications by Channel 4 TV in United Kingdom provide on the spot and direct evidence including rape and murders of Isaipriya and others by the soldiers who were seen gleefully enjoying the cruel and inhuman treatment of captured Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam [LTTE] cadres who were stripped and naked.
The Commission appointed by the President is nothing but a mockery of justice and travesty of accountability aiming to hoodwink the United Nations, UNHRC at its worst level. The shallowness and hollowness of this Commission can be seen when one considers the timing and motivation.
It is crystal clear that if not for the UNHRC High Commissioner’s harsher and punitive measures recommended in the draft Resolution, the President would not have even dreamt of appointing the latest or any Commission to deal with human rights violations as Rajapakaas’ position right from the end of the war in 2009 has been outright denial of any commission of war crimes etc. even the killing of a single civilian during the genocidal war from 2006 – 2009. Furthermore the members of the appointed Commission are of questionable reputation and standing. One member is the retired Inspector General of Police Chandra Fernando who carries the dubious reputation and name as an officer who extolled and justified torture to detainees as far for him it was the only method available to extract involuntary confessions from the detainees.
In addition, the ulterior motive behind the appointment of the Commission is to shield the several alleged war crimes accused and protect them from prosecution for the alleged war crimes etc. In short, the Commission is empowered and bound to recommend exculpatory measures. In the end. all suspects and those involved in the alleged commissions of war crimes etc. would be finally sheltered under Sri Lanka’s historical entrenched culture of impunity.
In this respect, International Commission of Jurists and Human Rights Watch’s comments on the Commission are as follows:
“It is a travesty of justice and attention to deflect robust action. [ICJ – 26th January 2021] while Human Rights Watch commented that “It is a dangerous attempt to avert urgently needed international action”.
In short, they have aptly described the hollow credibility of this Commission.
Therefore, there is no iota of doubt that this Commission will perform its functions as guided and controlled and the expectations would be the solidification and continuance of entrenched culture of impunity for alleged war criminals while throwing the basic pillars of democracy, accountability, justice and rule of law to no man’s land and deserting the victims of war to languish and abandoning them to live in limbo.
It is therefore of paramount and crucial importance for the United Nations, UNHRC and the International Community to rise to this serious occasion and exercise their powers and authority and rein in Sri Lanka to behave as a respected UN member while halting the hoodwinking and contemptuous defiant postures and daringly challenging the role, strength and credibility of respected world bodies – United Na\ions and UN Human Rights Council.
The irony of this commission is that it includes a member who is alleged to have committed human rights violations while he was entrusted to investigate detainees and was alleged to have inflicted torture and also facing allegations of extra judicial killings and enforced disappearances. In this respect this member has donned the role of an accused functioning as judge and jury.
It is learnt that a consensus Resolution is being prepared by some UNHRC Members which is actively supported by Sri Lanka. A would be diluted consensus Resolution if adopted would favour Sri Lanka which will not hesitate to exploit its delay and discard the UNHRC Recommendations while crowning human rights violations in Sri Lanka firmly rooted as a permanent political weapon against minorities and others opposing the Government.

Rajapakse family is good at cheating, lying, bribing (buying and selling) to make money and assets to increase their family wealth. They have already sold this island to China. They will not stop until they make every citizen suffer in poverty and beg for a meal in the streets( like monks).

Srilanka tried it again and again-
–
Sirisena’s presidency ended up paving way former high criminals becoming more powerful than no times in the past. This was the predictions of my GURU late Rev Sobitha thero. so good governance ended up in vain. Today that real humanist, Ranjan Ramanayaka is imprisoned for 4 years , while many other high criminals be permitted to rule the country.
.
Very same people (over 70% of srilankens living rural areas are made permament blind for Rajapakshe comeback) elected GOTA, but he has proved that his ruling is multiple time worst than that of SIRISENA. Today srilanka is compared with Myanmar… after March 2021, it will be declared as one another country be counted with Iran, Myanmar and the like.
.
Those vulnerable living in rural corners, who are the majority in the island nation, are made to believe that Rajaapkshes are the leaders to have liberated the nation from LTTErs, no matter collectivity along with various other reasons defeated LTTErs by 2009. Licking the ROLLER FELD at BIA on his arrival sent the message across that Mahinda Rajakashe loves this nation as no any other leaders would do.

Authorities of Newham council an east London Borough, removed Sri Lanka flag which had been hoisted in its premises without permission, when complained by Tamils, and apologized for the illegal act. There is a racist Sinhala women married to an Indian called Lakmini Sha who may have been instrumental of this, which has brought shame to Sri Lanka. While prompt action was taken to remove Sri Lanka flag, no one took action to stop LTTE symbol being projected on perimeter wall of British Parliament despite barking of Sri Lanka High Commission and Braying of Sinhala racists.

If Lakshimin Sha bitch ‘s reactions would work as hurt of the wounds, the consequences would be beyond estimation. She may be living in the UK, but seems to have learned the basics. That has lot do do with her upbringing. There are also such women in Rome and Dubai. These women would do anything and everything to white wash Rajaakshes. I really dont know what goes the heads of the bitches. I am very ashamed for sinhala race.
As of today, almost everything is twisted by Alugosuwa, as if srilanka is their pvt property. All these were predicted by us long before bitch sons got elected.

I am very sorry looking at those who are caught by the unexpected, being thrown to streets in Middle East countries. today. What happened to human rights activists ? Why cant govt yet address such alarming issues with some seriosness ? So called buddhist monks that would constantly chant for good, behave today as if they are made to be blind and deaf ? They took lead to bring sinister forces back to power, but in the same time, they dont care when people dont survive in middle east. Here I have a big question about practising buddhism by so called sinhalayas in my country.
Let leaving own people such grave moments- is a real big sin. Dont srilanken Sanga Community have enough funds to allow those stranded people return home ?
–
I heard some are reported to have committed suicide in the landlord’s toilets while others are caught by easy prey of the street gangs. Those countries are crowded by labouer communties being imported from India, Bangalidesh, Philiphines and srilanka. Senses of responsible politicians are distorted for some reasons, they behave as if they are caught by perception disorder.

Well done Gnana S you just prove what a shameless racist and liar you are. The Sri Lanka flag was removed because Newham has a large Tamil population and votes matter to British politicians. They cannot order people to vote or abstain from voting as Thalaivar did. While racist Tamil bigots exploit the ignorance and innocence of the British public, racist Sinhala bigots do the same in Sri Lanka, so don’t complain about it.

What next for Newham? Are you going to demand devolution or go straight for separation?

Federation of Saiva temples in UK, wrote to British government about destruction of Hindu temples and construction of Buddhist temples over them, which was forwarded to SL High Commission in London for their view. Instead of replying to that, HC asked Hindu federation not to raise the issue at this time as it will embarrass Sri Lanka at UNHCR sessions. Hindu federation told HC, we will stop it, if you stop destroying Hindu temples in Sri Lanka. Sinhala racists living in UK are like dogs with their tails tucked between their legs, because law in UK is same for both Tamils and Sinhalese and British courts are very fair. Those Sinhalese who are used to jungle laws and Kangaroo courts in Sri Lanka, are naturally unhappy.

We all accepted there was no other path left when Tamils launched the armed struggle. We accepted LTTE too made mistakes at the end. Only way now to convince international community that an International Investigation needed is that Tamils fully pledge to take responsibility for what happened in the war on LTTE side. But any “guilty verdict” must come from an International Jurist Group, not by any hybrid- that is Sinhala Aappa diplomats participating inquiry. Our case is not against Sinhalese; not even against Sinhala Buddhists; or the 6.9 M voted for the Neo Nazi government. But it is against the Sinhala Buddhist governments that ruled Tamils after Britain left.
LTTE is still a banned Organization in many first world countries. But what we trying to do diplomatically is what SJV did with Ahimsha and what Leader Pirapaharan did with arms – the freedom war. So far we have not moved even an inch against the government, in our war. International government has not come to our path yet, but Aanduwa fully understand that Tamils are no longer willing to settle anything than freedom. That is it is flexing its full might in UNHRC. So I don’t think so far we have achieved any kind of victory to feel happy. Premature celebration would make the system to fail like the mistake Gandakari did in Mahabharata.

Utter crap. You are making excuses for terrorism. The Tamils couldn’t produce a Gandhi or Mandela or Martin Luther King. They couldn’t be bothered to reach out to touch Sinhalese hearts. It was much easier to turn to violence. So they produced a Hitler.

“Utter crap. You are making excuses for terrorism. The Tamils couldn’t produce a Gandhi or Mandela or Martin Luther King. “
Tamils could touch the heartless Sinhala Buddhists’ hearts because Sinhala Buddhists, to kill Tamils in Lakhs and lakhs, only produced rebirths of Hitler,(King) Mussolini (JR), Mugabe (Old King), Pinochet (New King) , Ecobar (Younger Brother Prince) , Poolandevi (Siri Mao), Ehilopola (Don Stephen) & Don Juan (Solomon West Ridge Way Dias).

British government may not have taken steps to remove the LTTE symbol being projected, but they certainly helped the Sri Lankan Army on techniques to kill the Tamils. Now try your best to fix the british nationals involved in the process.
You are obviously spending your twilight years, not a bad idea to amuse yourself with this kind of nonesense.

Ajith,
There is a short circuit in your brain that mix up Rajapakshe with Wickramasinghe. All the things you mentioned are applicable to Wickramasinghe not Rajapakshe.
Wickramasinghe:
• Cheated the voters by promising a ‘Yahapalana’ Government and gave a ‘Jadapalana’ Government.
• Robbed the Central Bank not once but twice.
• Sold Hambantota port to Chinese and took $973 million but no one knows what happened to that money.
• Stopped construction of ECT started by Rajapakshe and planned to sell that probably to put that check also in his pocket
• Stored paddy at Mattala airport while there were storage facilities to ruin the image of Mattala airport and probably sell that and put that check in his pocket
These are few examples. The list is too long to mention here.

UN Bodies are generally talk shops and nothing more. To expect dramatic action from the UNHRC is a hopeless expectation. This is a body that was forced to accept Saudi Arabia a gross human rights violator into its ranks by the USA under Trump. The unofficial leaked report will become official only if the big players want it. Even then other member states can oppose and block such reports and resolutions. The reason we have a leader who has absolutely no human rights credibility and a gross human rights abuser is the local adoring population of nitwits. Brought up in backward swabasha villages and preached to by monks who are absolutely clueless. They do not comprehend these lofty ideals. They think beating up and murdering Tamils and Muslims is A.O.K. They also do not trust any western organization. This has been drilled into them thru their swabasha mouth pieces. Rather than wean these idiots from their stupid way of thinking we have a crafty scheming ruling junta who loves to keep these mutts in perpetual ignorance.

Thambu Kanagasabai,
In Sri Lanka, human rights violations are NOT deeply rooted as a weapon against minorities.
Racism, violence and human rights violations are deeply rooted among Malabar Vellala Demala (Tamils after 1911) politicians as a weapon against Sinhalayo who allowed them to settle down in their country. They are the people who promoted Tamils to take up arms and gave birth to LTTE Tamil terrorists who slaughtered innocent Sinhala men, women, children and even unborn babies in a barbaric way using suicide bombers, claymore bombs and chemical weapons. These LTTE Tamil terrorists committed war crimes and human rights violations not only against Sinhalayo but even their own Tamil people with the full support from Tamil politicians.
The Government of Sri Lanka and its Armed Forces liberated Tamils, Sinhalayo, Muslims and others from the clutches of ruthless LTTE Tamil terrorists.

Malabar Vellala Demalu (Tamils after 1911) have a proven record for treating their fellow Tamils who belong to low castes in an inhumane manner and violating their human rights using Malabar Customary Law called ‘Thesawalamei’. As a lawyer, have you ever raised your voice against those human rights violations?
Malabar Vellala Demala politicians went all the way to UK to beg the Privy Council to annul the Social Disabilities Act passed in 1957 by the Government of Ceylon enabling low caste Tamils to enter schools for the first time and opposed Standardization and Quota System that benefited Demala people outside Yapanaya.

Eagle, where did you learned this history, Jaffnahistory.com? In addition to SWRD’s SDA, FP had SWRD to pass Temple Entry Private bill, because that time all Hindu Temples were private properties. Temple Entry closed the loopholes in the SDA, on Hindu side. That is why these days in North East anybody can have temple and all can going to them. But the Southern temples are caste based and Govis will not allow other caste Bald head in their temples.
Anyway, as per your history, when Portuguese were bringing the Malabar Vellala Demelos, the low caste Tamils came in the same boats with Malabar Vellala Demolos or in a separate boat. Or are saying the low caste Tamils, Native Sinhaloyas & Native Veddas all are non-evolved Balangoda Vedas? Because you are creating a confusion with your language

Rajiv could not do that while he was alive, when Vijithamuni crushed him with butt of the rifle. You think Rajiv’s Ghost is that powerful so it can get Tamils what they want, the Tamil Eelam. That is naive thought man. Start to Pray Quveni’s Ghost to let your land go free, instead possessing for 2500 years. (You can’t understand because of the Karma that back in your ancestry a bestiality woman, against Buddhism, slept with a wild animal so that you are still suffering.

What is fascinating is that many SL nationals grab any opportunity to promote themselves and curry favor with those in power. Anything that trends socially brings forth an army of would-be writers who fill pages of every available media. In recent times print media pages are full of articles by obscure personalities blackguarding the UN, the UNHRC, and its Commissioner Michelle Bachelet. Bravely such scribblers write open letters to all and sundry and to Ms Bachelet in particular, as if anyone outside out little island will be reading such childish and silly stuff. The articles must make the authors feel good. They do nothing else. Perhaps five or 10 friends will pat the hero on the back. Well done, they will say.

Important discussion is what are the Tamils inside the county going to get by hanging a couple of army chaps.
.
I understand that as far as the Vadukkodai objective is concerned it is important to maintain the animosity between the two parties to triger the next critical event. Any cooling off will only prolonge that occurrence. UNHRC is helping the process in a mathematically caculated precision.
.
Sinhala side is no match, nowhere near, to the Tamil side in the propaganda war.
That much has to be humbly acknowledged.
.
As I always say this Tamil desire to live in Sinhala majority provinces is their main obstacle and until that mentality remains Sinhalese have nothing much to worry.
