It is difficult to predict when, but sooner or later, it will happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">We are sure that neither Rajapaksa nor any of his family members can become life-time rulers of Sri Lanka. All know that the international community is waiting for a <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">\u2018regime change\u2019<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">President Rajapaksa\u2019s one time trusted Military General, Presidential candidate <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Sarath+Fonseka&amp;x=8&amp;y=6\">Sarath Fonseka<\/a><\/span>, still claims that he won the last Presidential election. Every day he shows new evidence supporting his claim. This suggests that Rajapaksa is an Executive President by bullet rather than by ballot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Rajapaksa cannot deny he is greedy for power and wants to contest in the next Presidential election. This is the reason he used his two third majority in parliament to amend the constitution, paving the way for him to stand for the 3<sup>rd<\/sup> time in a Presidential election. This is a mistake on his part which will lead to his downfall.<\/p>\n<p>As I have predicted in the past, the Lady is preparing to stand in the next Presidential election.\u00a0 Even though she served for eight years and could not deliver what she promised to the people, presently she is the best challenge to Rajapaksa, whom she will replace.<\/p>\n<p>There are many obstacles for <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Ranil+Wickremasinghe&amp;x=13&amp;y=3\">Ranil Wickremasinghe<\/a><\/span> or Sarath Fonseka to stand in the President election. But they will support the Lady and she will also be supported by the majority of the members in the SLFP as well. Always the deciding vote is from the North and East and it will be cast in favour of the Lady. The people in the North and East have already voted for the Military General who ruined their life. This doesn\u2019t mean that Rajapaksa or the Lady is a Saint. They too, have both done horrendous damage to the people in the North and East \u2013 politically, economically, socially and culturally.<\/p>\n<p>Now let me come back to the subject of <em>\u2018you will be impeached\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>When the Lady wins the President election with the support of Ranil Wickremasinghe, Sarath Fonseka and all the others who oppose Rajapaksa\u2019s family rule &#8211; are they going to allow Rajapaksa to have a peaceful life?<\/p>\n<p>Those whom I mentioned above and also Rajapaksa\u2019s one time good friend <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Mangala+Samaraweera&amp;x=9&amp;y=-1\">Mangala Samaraweera<\/a><\/span> are part of this group. In fact, all these people may have problems about who will be Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and Secretary of Defence. However, they are not going to spare Rajapaksa, his family and his collaborators. This is the history of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Rajapaksa\u2019s impeachment process against the Chief Justice <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Shirani+Bandaranayake&amp;x=11&amp;y=3\">Shirani Bandaranayake<\/a><\/span> gave the international community food for thought about the judiciary in Sri Lanka. Regarding this process while the whole world, bar associations of many countries and many legal experts were opposing it, the Hero who demerged the North East, former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva supported the President. At the end of the impeachment, the President paid a courtesy visit to Sarath N. Silva\u2019s home.<\/p>\n<p>This is where the former Chief Justice <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Sarath+N.+Silva&amp;x=6&amp;y=1\">Sarath N. Silva<\/a><\/span>\u2019s verdict on the demerger of the North East becomes questionable. He seems to have a stony personality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Mangala Samaraweera visit to Europe<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I am sure Rajapaksa is aware that Mangala Samaraweera has visited Europe recently and met with a few members of the Tamil diaspora. I do not know whether those members of the diaspora are aware that this gentleman is one of the people who are the cause of today\u2019s devastating situation of the Tamils. When Mangala Samaraweera was the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka, he went around the world spreading lies and deception, portraying the Tamil\u2019s political problem as a \u2018Terrorist problem\u2019<\/p>\n<p>In November 2001, I had personal experience of this liar Mangala Samaraweera who was then a Minister in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.colombotelegraph.com\/?s=Chandrika+Kumaratunga&amp;x=11&amp;y=2\">Chandrika Kumaratunga<\/a><\/span>\u2019s cabinet. He produced a fake letter and told many lies in a press conference concerning me and a few others:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\" http:\/\/www.dailynews.lk\/2001\/11\/22\/new00.html\">Daily News, 22 November 2001<\/a><strong><a href=\" http:\/\/www.dailynews.lk\/2001\/11\/22\/new00.html\"> &#8211;<\/a><\/strong><\/span> <em>\u201cCabinet Spokesman and Urban Development, Public Utilities Housing and Sports Minister Mangala Samaraweera addressing a media conference at the Information Department auditorium at Narahenpita yesterday revealed details of a long standing conspiracy by the UNP and the LTTE to destabilize the government and the country.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><\/em><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">In fact, soon after this front-page lead news item appeared in the \u2018Daily News\u2019 of 22 November 2001, I contacted Dr. Jayalath Jayawardena, with an idea of suing Mangala Samaraweera. Dr Jayalath Jayawardena told me that, there is nothing to worry, as he has already filed a case for five million rupees as damage from Mangala Samaraweera. Once that is successfully done, I can file the follow-up case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Today where are Mangala Samaraweera and Dr Jayalath Jayawardena? They both are together in a party, which Mangala Samaraweera claimed had a: \u201c<\/span><em style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">long standing conspiracy by the UNP and the LTTE to destabilize the government and the country\u201d<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">. What happened to Dr Jayalath Jayawardena\u2019s case for five million rupees? This is politics, using others, sorry, the Tamils, for their benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">This is how President Rajapaksa has made use of Karuna, Pillayan, Douglas Devananda and many other Tamils. Where are they all today? They all did yeoman service to Rajapaksa\u2019s Dutugemunu regime. Now these Tamils are ashamed to face the people. This fact has to be realised by the grassroots Tamil diaspora activists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">International customary law recognizes two categories of immunity: <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><em>functional <\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">(or ratione materiae) and <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><em>personal <\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">(or ratione personae).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><em>Functional immunity<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> is excluded for perpetrators acting in an official capacity. <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">\u00a0<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Practice by international tribunals and courts confirm &#8211; these institutions <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><em>did not even recognize personal immunity<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> \u2013 as demonstrated by the ICC when initiating a case against the sitting Sudanese President and by the Special Court for Sierra Leone when issuing an arrest warrant against Charles Taylor, former President of Liberia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">As regards domestic criminal jurisdiction, state practice tends to <\/span><strong style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"><em>reject functional immunity,<\/em><\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> for certain <\/span><em style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">categories<\/em><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\"> of high-ranking individuals, including Heads of State, Heads of government and according to the ICJ, also Ministers of Foreign Affairs, as long as they are in office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">I conclude by saying: Mr President, please do wait for another few months or years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">What is Impeachment?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">A criminal <a title=\"mediate proceedings are presumed. 1 Greenl.
