While expressing its appreciation for those countries that sponsored and voted for the resolution on promoting accountability, reconciliation and human rights in Sri Lanka last night, the Tamil Civil Society Forum (TCSF) says; “We are extremely disappointed that India chose to abstain during the vote on the full text of the resolution and to vote for the motion that sought to delete the paragraph (Operative Paragraph 10) in the resolution authorising the OHCHR to undertake investigations.”
Rt. Rev. Dr. Rayappu Joseph
Issuing a statement on behalf of the TCSF , Rt. Rev. Dr. Rayappu Joseph (Bishop of Mannar) and Kumaravadivel Guruparan (University of Jaffna) said; “We deeply regret that this resolution does not provide for the establishment of a robust mechanism of international investigations in the form of an International Commission of Inquiry. We are also concerned that the Office of the Human Rights Commissioner’s mandate for investigations has been limited to the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission’s time framework. The resolution does not explicitly provide her office the authority to investigate on going violations.
“With regard to Operative Paragraph 6 of the resolution we reiterate that the 13th amendment provides no basis for a political solution of the Tamil question. The narrative of the preambular paragraphs, we note with regret, does not take into consideration the specificity of the problems faced by the Tamils.
“We are concerned that despite the resolution and the debate leading up to it, the plight of the Tamils continue and continue to escalate. We wish to stress upon the International Community, the need to take bold, firm and decisive steps that will be necessary to address the ongoing suffering of the Tamils.”
Ben Hurling / March 28, 2014
Rt. Rev. Dr. Rayappu Joseph,
Indeed. India today. Tomorrow you will be deeply disappointed by both USA & UK. These are far bigger international hypocrites than India.
Both USA & UK have a proven track record of using and dumping people and nations once their vital national interests are achieved.
It is exactly what both USA and UK are upto at the UNHCR.
Cheers!
PS: Justice for the long suffering Sri Lankan Tamils can only be served by genuine brotherhood of all people who inhabit this Island. It can never be imposed by USA, UK or even by India.
Please wake up and smell the Coffee.
Do not waste your time. Start building bridges among people of Sri Lanka. In Sri Lanka. Not in Geneva, London or Toronto.

I’m extremely disappointed you’re on the side of the Satan.
When was the last time you read the Bible? Do you recall:
2 Corinthians 11:13-15
New International Version (NIV)
13 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15 It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness. Their end will be what their actions deserve.
Okay, I’m too busy right now trying to make sense of the screw-up in Geneva. Also I’m somewhat out of sorts since I ate beans and cabbage for lunch. Let’s talk it over when you get here.

Instead of promising its “full support” to the Corrupt and Criminal Mahinda Rajapakse regime, the so-called Opposition leader and UNP dictator Ranil Wickramasinghe and his followers should EDUCATE the Sinhalaya Modayas and voters that the Geneva Resolution is against the Corrupt and Criminal Mainhda Rajapaksa REGIME and NOT the people of Sri Lanka, and aimed at saving democracy and people’s rights, including labour RIGHTS and the Right to Information and free speeach.

You think we’re stupid or some kind of fools who cannot read? Sinhalas can see very well what neo-cons game is. They want to divide Sri Lanka and control the both parts through their arbiters, just like the days of the infamous peace-agreement. This time around however, even with Tamil Nadu threats, Hindians couldn’t be forced to vote with neo-cons. And that’s a huge setback for neo-cons.
India realized at long last that neo-con gang is using them to help separatist Tamils to divide Sri Lanka for their own geo-political ends. And Tamils are using the neo-cons to get a step closer to their own Eelam dream.
And that’s why the Indian ambassador Dilip Sinha, gave a speech at UNHRC criticizing the US move and abstained. Singha said this resolution titled promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights in Sri Lanka at the UNHRC imposes an intrusive approach of international investigative mechanism which was counterproductive apart from being inconsistent and impractical.
Many US allies like Japan, SA, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia followed suit. These countries didn’t give any statement in favour of the US resolution. They abstained because they are scared to upset the US bully.

Dear Rt. Rev. Dr. Rayappu Joseph,
RE: ‘We Are Extremely Disappointed On India’s Abstain’ Says TCSF
“While expressing its appreciation for those countries that sponsored and voted for the resolution on promoting accountability, reconciliation and human rights in Sri Lanka last night, the Tamil Civil Society Forum (TCSF) says; “We are extremely disappointed that India chose to abstain during the vote on the full text of the resolution and to vote for the motion that sought to delete the paragraph (Operative Paragraph 10) in the resolution authorising the OHCHR to undertake investigations.”
You are encouraged to bring this to the surface, until there is accountability.
Q1. What else are you disappointed with India?
Q2. India has an occupation force in Kashmir and had it for 65 years. No Self-Determination so far despite being taken up by the Security Council
The UNHRC is just Child’s Play.
See what Israel and other countries are getting away with it. You need Tomahawks and Drones, to make you count.
LTTE and VP were terrorist who killed Tamils, Muslims and Sinhala. Of course the Sinhala did kill mire Tamils. After all . all are Para as per Native Veddah terminology
Yes, there is need for accountability and reconciliation and move on.
But in the Monk Mahanama ethics, and lies, there is no such thing.
Let the UN Know and the Indians know.
By the way, was there accountability in India for Gujarat massacres?

‘Why did India abstain from voting?”
Easy answer – It is because they have no Backbone – they are utter cowards.
India was such a stakeholder and an important and intimate player in the crisis throughout the last thirty or forty years; they want to establish themselves as the regional power; they have massive interest, more so than any others in this neigbourhood.
Still, the best they could do was to abstain?! If you have courage and conviction you would either vote yes, or you would vote no – but it takes a backboneless scumbag to stay on the sideline and just peep.

It is good that he and his part have lost all support in Tamil Nadu and India in general

Rayappu Joseph never stopped berating the SL military and SL government.
Now he is disappointed at India’s policy decision not to allow any foreign investigations into a country’s alleged human rights violations.
United States is more concerned with protecting the rights of its evangelical mob involved in religious conversions of Buddhists and Hindus in Sri Lanka than supporting the Tamils. The UNHRC resolution reflects this. That may go well with Rayappu Joseph.

Lanka says resolution dangerous
The Government said that the draft resolution on Sri Lanka submitted to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) will not only constitute a serious breach of International Law, but create a dangerous precedent in the conduct of international relations within the established global order of sovereign States and could pose a grave threat to the sovereignty and independence of Member States of the United Nations, which is enshrined in the UN Charter. Sri Lanka s Ambassador to the UN in Geneva told the UNHRC that the resolution also erodes the sovereignty of the people of Sri Lanka.
Minister Wimal Weerawansa today said that the United States backed resolution against Sri Lanka would ultimately lead to an Interim Administration in the North and East (N/E) Provinces under the supervision of the United Nations (UN).

Pandaranayagam / March 28, 2014
India abstained, it is understood, because of many firm undertakings given by Mahinda R to the Indian PM at Bimstec/Myanmar. One of which
is the full empowerment of the NPC. We recall Basil Rajapakse warning before the NPC Elections there if the Govt loses, finances to the NPC will not be forthcoming. The Rajapakses maintained their threat and starved Wigneswaren’s team but now had to face the music in Geneva. The other is the rapid implementation of their own creature of a partial LLRC.India holds the trump cards with the implicit warning “if you go with us we will protect you” But India shrewdly allowed the Resolution to be adopted by asking several countries close to India to vote against the GoSL.
Very soon we will see the Rajapakses doing regular visits to Delhi – after the elections. However, if the BJP wins and if the hawkish Yashwant Sinha becomes EAM, then the tables will turn against the
Rajapakses – now under attack from many directions externally.

Also, strong resolution against SL with external hand could be detrimental to India in the long run.

If that is their wish, one can be thankful because they just did something with the name of a resolution for Independent Inquiry. But, Nobody has, so far, written a full a text on the use of it. At this time, its only use is just a good piece to capture some dust in air conditioned rooms of UN Chambers, for an year until time to pass another one.
How a commission going to function is Sri Lanka where every month “1” commission get created and “1.1” commission fails? Who is going to be manning that? Where will they get the visa to go to Sri Lanka,( where Charine Russell was refused a visa) to find the facts? How many Jayakumaries you have to donate to the commission before some useful information can be recoded? Is it going be staying outside the country like UNSG’s Panel of Experts, not meeting the affected area witnesses or Is it going to come into the country like IIGEP come out frustrated and quit? In the face of the so many uncertainties, passing of this resolution appears like just to threaten the GOSL a little bit only.
Though the last two resolutions did not do anything, yet we just can’t assume those who passed the resolutions are only handicapped, also true. Sri Lanka created LLRC for the purpose of cheat the UNSG and UN to abandon the UNSG’s Expert Panel. Nobody objected the weak commission created by the GOSL. It came out with a whitewashing report. It was accepted by International community and a chance to implement that was given to GOSL. They wrote an Action Plan to further fool everybody. That too was accepted by UNHRC and asked to execute it. Though they looked like real dump rods and can be easily fooled by GOSL, the most clever deed on all these were period indicated for the investigation. The the term of reference of the LLRC is the terms of reference for investigation period for the new inquiry by the OHCHR too. LLRC was formed to exonerate the Kings government. So it was limited to investigate only only from 2002. That is how it left out from Chandrika to Srimavo, all in the water. This was carefully planned so after King gets exonerated by the LLRC and the current problems are resolved, the remaining periods, basically from 2002 to as far 1970, can be used by the King’s government as per their needs. This planing is very capable of putting many Tamils and some Sinhalese leaders into the dark room with the help of PTA. Now the UNHRC’s resolution is grabbing the LLRC period only for it’s investigation. Those guys who selected the time period here also well aware the the period selected for the LLRC was to safeguard king’s family. They have made it as boomerang and sending back it to King to take it back of what ever he gave out earlier. This is an example of there is always a lot of space in this type of matters to maneuver around if one want to do so. The question also how many of these countries has will like walk on these ways?
If that question is answered then the TCSF may need not to worry much about the weakness or softness of the resolution.

India is trying to both have the cake and eat it at the same time. If India really wanted it could have vexed its muscle and stopped this resolution. Had even one more country abstained from voting, it would have not passed. Yet, it didn’t do that bit. It new the resolution could be passed even without it having to vote in favor so it abstained– to retain leverage over Sri Lanka and its face in Asia should the same were happen to it in future.
Anyways, GOSL should stop grandstanding that 24 countries did not support the resolution. The fact is, aside from US + EU, many other developing countries supported it. Countries like Brazil and Argentina are not US or EU client states. Even Japan abstained not once but twice even when India voted in favor. It is for Sri Lanka to clean its stables and get the world on our side and our own people on the same side. US/EU LTTE rump may be in this for regime change but it seems at least for now, US/EU are either not bold enough or motivated in going it alone.

Bishop Rayappu’s primary responsibility in his job description is as follows.
, .”.to help the people of his faith in all parts of the Island and the ones directly under him in Mannar in particular, to travel to his God.s kingdom though Jesus Christ”…,
Is he doing his job?
The great majority of his faith even wouldn’t agree.
Has he ever asked how many Christians were among the Captives of Prabakaran in Nanthikadal?.
Has he ever mentioned how many Christians are among the so called 40,000 to 100,000 figure his mate the Reverend in London and his diaspora Church keep brandishing in front of Cameron Harper and Ms Pillai?.
How many Christians of his brand are in the NPC serving under the Vellala Boss, who won power by expressing his allegiance to late Mr Prabakaran and his manifesto.
After all Mannar inhabitants are on par with the great majority when it comes to the basic HR of earning a quid to put the food on the table, unlike the Vellalas of all communities.
These figures if made public, the inhabitants the Catholics as well as others in the country may feel the need to help the Bishop in rectifying any unwarranted injustices inflicted on them.
With Gobi and his Band on the hustings again with the help of the TNA militants who are also MPs, are the poor people in Mannar Diocese going to suffer the new restrictions which may come in to protect the current peace and harmony among the great majority of the inhabitant population in the country?.
Would that affect their ability to go about earning a living?.
Isn’t it the responsibility of the World powers to ensure the poor live in peace and harmony?
Are you disappointed because the Indian Leaders have realized that the their moral responsibility “to protect these inhabitants’ peace , harmony and little prosperity ‘ is more important than pandering to the LTTE remnants who are driving the separatist agenda of the Diaspora with their new political leaders in the West”?.

Apart from chastising Rev.Rayappu Joseph over which many
CT readers are at each other’s throat, there is a bigger
issue here.
I did not know whether to laugh or cry. India’s reason
for abstaining at the Human Rights Council vote in
Geneva is because the resolution on Sri Lanka is
intrusive. Their Ambassador said in Geneva they do not want to
impinge on the sovereignty of Sri Lanka.
Is India joking? Who promoted separatist terrorism in
Sri Lanka in the 1970s. Was it not Mrs Indira Gandhi, the
Prime Minister of India. She was worried that President
J.R. Jayawardene was leaning too heavily on India. All
the terrorist groups were trained and equipped on Indian
soil. The terrorists crossed the Palk Straits from the
north for their succor. Is this no intrusion and a threat
they started against our sovereignty.
What about the parippu drop in 1987. Was that not an
intrusion and infringement of Sri Lanka’s sovereignty?
Why should they be at our throat now about 13th Amendment
or anything else. That is also intrusion. Is it not? We
do not tell India what to do. Is this big power tactics?
In matters like this, the dictum should be never trust
India. They always play games.This truth cannot be told
now by the Tamil political parties and diaspora groups.
They will become orphans.
The tragedy is that the Rajapaksa government does not
have a clear cut strategy. They are fuelled by emotions
and run on prejudices.
