Others joined through video conferencing from different countries. Entire proceedings were webcast live.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the highlights:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 President of the Global Tamil Forum, Rev. Father Emmanuel, joined as a special guest and his speech was received with standing ovation.<br \/>\n\u2022 The TGTE\u2019s Senate prepared a report on the roadmap to establish Tamil Eelam, which was discussed by the Parliament. The report will now be sent to the TGTE Advisory Committee and outside experts for comments and will be placed again in front of Parliament for discussion and adoption before the process of implementation starts to take shape.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the Action Plans:<\/p>\n<p>1)Calling for a promulgation of a Freedom Charter for Tamil Eelam incorporating the \u201cFreedom Demands\u201d of the Tamil-speaking people. (These \u201cFreedom Demands\u201d will be ascertained through Town Hall meetings, electronic and print media).<br \/>\n2)Calling for an Economic Boycott and Divestment Campaign.<br \/>\n3)Calling on the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to appoint an International Commission of Inquiry, under Article 99 of the UN Charter. According to the recent UN Internal Review Report on Sri Lanka, this step was recommended by the UN Secretary General\u2019s own legal team in 2009.<br \/>\n4)Declaring 2013 as the year to Empower Women of Tamil Eelam and to take steps to achieve specific goals. TGTE considers that this will be a stepping stone to uplift the Tamil community affected by the war and will give special attention to the 90,000 Tamil war widows.<br \/>\n5)Calling for assistance to Hero\u2019s families. As a first step, the \u201cThalir\u201d program was launched with the aim of providing assistance to 1,000 Hero\u2019s families by the next National Day of Mourning on May 18, 2013.<br \/>\n6)Condemning the attack on Jaffna University students and calling for steps to secure the release of the students who were arrested for peacefully remembering Martyr\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n<p>Two resolutions of international significance were passed:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Congratulating the People of Palestine for being admitted by the UN as a UN non-member observer state. \u201cOn behalf of People of Tamil Eelam, the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam want to salute the People of Palestine for their determination to be free despite years of untold suffering,\u201d said the Resolution.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condemning the abuses and attacks on the Rohinga Muslims of Myanmar and expressing solidarity with the People of Tamil Eelam. \u201cWe understand your pain and suffering and People of Tamil Eelam stand by you, during your difficult time,\u201d said the Resolution.<\/p>\n<p>For information contact: pmo@tgte.org<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/index.php\/transnational-government-of-tamil-eelams-parliament-endorses-action-plans\/tgte\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-65526\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-65526\" title=\"TGTE\" src=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/TGTE.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/TGTE.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/TGTE-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22,"featured_media":65526,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,2187,1,2375],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-65525","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colombotelegraph","category-most-popular","category-news","category-stories"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
