United Nation is now a ramshackle organisation which does not know where it stands. It has become an outmoded out fit at the modern time. 

United Nations as it name indicates is an Organisation that stands for the Unity of Nations. But it has taken on itself a special duty of accusing Member States,  joining along with other states or organisations that have an axe to grind. 

The United Nations should be a defender of its Member States , and stand by them when they are being unjustly accused, when  their democratically elected governments engage themselves in the difficult task of defending themselves, their  territories and their people, against their enemies..

The result of this failure of the UN to stand by its member states is that the Member States will be  forced to treat the UN as any other Country that stands on the way of their development and progress accusing them of violation of human rights, the most easy means of interfering into a sovereign state.

The UN High Commissioner for human rights is collecting evidence to bring the Government  of Sri Lanka before the International Court for war crimes. If that is part of her duty , is she collecting such information to bring USA  and Israel before the International Court for war crimes ? If not why Sri Lanka had been selected for her investigations ?

                                                ***************

It is reported that with the successful end of the military operations against the terrorist in Sri Lanka the Aid Groups and the ICRC want to enter the no fire zone  liberated from the terrorists , in search of civilians that may have been left behind.  That is the work for the Armed Forces and the Government should not allow the UN, ICRC or the Aid Workers to enter in to these areas now.

They had no business then,  and have none now. ICRC too has completed its services in these areas and they should not be allowed into the areas now.  They will enter these areas not in search of the Civilians but probably in search of the remaining terrorists to whom they could provide recourse and perhaps  revitalise terrorist pockets.  They cannot be trusted any more and they should be left out.

Sri Lanka now knows its friends, and West should be treated with distrust that it deserves; Of course it may be considered undiplomatic to  treat the Aid Workers in this manner, because the financial aid from Western countries re needed for ameliorating  the conditions of the refugees. But these countries should be made to  understand that developing countries should be treated with more respect and with  trust in their Governments in place.

The Armed Forces specially the Women Army Cadres should now be deployed to provide the IDPs to settle down and  give  them  other necessary assistance.

These areas  delivered from the terrorists should remain as protected areas for some more time as the arms caches may still be available and any remaining  terrorists may wander into the area in search of  arms and ammunition to carry out isolated acts of terrorism.

                                                  *********************

Mr.B.Raman a former  retired Additional Secretary of  the Govt. of India , writing to a website  had said that when Karun Amman had broken away from the LTTE terrorist group and left with a number of his followers, the LTTE let go along with them 500 of their faithful cadres to remain with Karuna Amman in the East.  They had been given instructions to  attack  the followers of Karuna as well as carry out  isolated terrorist activities against the Government Armed forces. 

This sounds a possibility and therefore the Government should be vigilant and perhaps get Karuna Amman to find out the where about of all those who left the LTTE terrorists along with him

The former Aid Workers who had worked in the areas controlled by the terrorists may once again infiltrate into these areas to revitalise any groups still faithful to Prabhakaran.  Therefore the Government should stop  foreign Aid Workers into these areas.

                                                    ******************

Paul Castella and the ICRC may have done an excellent work in evacuating wounded civilians in the war zone when it was still occupied by the terrorist.  To day the situation is different and the ICRC has no further services to render in the area.

U.N. humanitarian chief John Holmes should be informed, that it is up to the President of Sri Lanka to decide who should be allowed into the  former conflict zones and who should be  kept out.

Gordon Weiss had abused his position by making statements discrediting the government and he should be stopped from making  statements to the press or journalists.

                                                    ********************

The U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon  should be allowed to visit  the IDPs, but he should be made to understand  that he should  leave out his advice to the government  concerning  its future  decisions with  regard to  Tamil, and Muslim population , which is strictly an internal matter.

The President Mhinda Rajpakse is now an experienced political leader of the country and  he knows best what is necessary to build confidence  among the different communities and how to unite them into a Sri Lankan Nation.
