Ban-ki-Moon’s rebarbative statement should be questioned and his role should be exposed.

Moon’s tactic in purposely referring to the massacres in Rwanda when discussing the Vanni war explains the long term strategy of his and some in the UNHRC s plan to punish Sri Lanka using infantile systems.
However the Government’s senior ministers attempt to defend Moon, it is obvious that the statement had given a new dimension to the commitments that have been made by the present Sri Lankan government to the Geneva resolution, when, Sri Lankan situation was discussed in relation to the UN failures in Rwanda. The SG was re-emphasising the absolute need to adhere to the last letter of law in resolution which Sri Lanka co-sponsored without any shame.
It is indeed interesting to examine the high handed and illegal manner in which Moon handled the issues concerning the Sri Lankan war to comprehend the highly questionable role played by him in June 2010. The Secretary General, Moon appointed a Panel of Experts for his INFORMATION consisting of controversial individuals obviously to ‘create’ a case against Sri Lanka. This report was not placed in the official records of the Council, neither an opportunity was granted to Sri Lanka to respond to its contents. THEREFORE, THE USE OF THE POE REPORT TO ADVOCATE FOR AN UN INVESTIGATION WAS ILLEGAL. The person responsible for launching the illegal process in requiring Sri Lanka to face the consequences arising from the UNHRC resolution is no one else ,but Ban Ki Moon himself.
Moon’s statement made in Colombo is intentional to complete the tasks ahead in implementing the dictates of the illegal UNHRC Resolution.
Moon will conclude his functions in the near future and his term of office can be considered as a total failure to attempt deliver peaceful solutions to the world.
He has been silent or practically inactive in intervening in the massacres taking place, in the ME. Africa and Afghanistan. He is just a clueless observer witnessing the plight of the millions of refugees fleeing their own lands.
In the final analysis, it is more than clear that Moon had been acting as a wiling agent of the big powers whose criminal acts have gone unnoticed by the UN.
In regard to Sri Lanka too it appears that Moon had been acting unjustifiably may be to please some nations in the West, NGOs and the Tamil extremist expatriates who use their accumulated funds to gain favours,
Moon’s inconsiderate statement should be CONDEMNED and brought to the notice of the UN and the friendly nations by all peace loving Sri Lankans.

The UNSG Ban Ki Moon’s Outrageous, Total and Utter Lies With no Proof Whatsoever Regarding the Sri Lankan Conflict during His Speech in Colombo, Sri Lanka, is Insulting to the People of Sri Lanka
The UNSG Ban Ki Moon’s statement that ‘thousands of civilians died in the last stages of the conflict in Sri Lanka’ at a speech Ban Ki Moon gave in Colombo, Sri Lanka on the 2nd September, 2016 is a total and utter lie, is outrageously wrong and an extreme insult to all the victims of the brutal terrorist group the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). If Ban Ki Moon makes such outrageous statements, it is better he has any proof whatsoever to show for it. His utter lie is totally deplorable, is condemnable and an insult to the people of Sri Lanka and the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka has had 26 years of conflict from 1983-2009. In this period (inclusive of the first, the middle and the last stages of the war), it is the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorist group who massacred over 47,000 mainly Sri Lankan Armed Forces members and also civilians.
The LTTE massacred over 35,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members, Police Force members and Civil Defense Force members over 6000-7000 overwhelmingly Sinhala but also Muslim civilians, 1,253 Indian Peacekeeping Forces (IPKF) members, over 2,000 Tamil Armed Group members who supported the Government of Sri Lanka and who were against the LTTE, around 3,000 Tamil civilians and all this add upto 47,000. Around 35,000 LTTE terrorists are estimated to have perished too. In all around 84,000 in total have perished in total in the war.
As you can see it is the brutal LTTE terrorists who massacred over 47,000 mainly Sri Lankan Armed Forces members, Police Force members, Civil Defense Force members in over 26 years of war. Over 23,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members are today both temporarily and permanently disabled due to the war. Over 13,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members are permanently disabled due to the war. Over 156,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members have been injured due to the war. Over 6,000-7,000 overwhelmingly Sinhala but also Muslim civilians have been massacred by the LTTE terrorists in the war of over 26 years. Ban Ki Moon is insulting all these civilians who perished at the hands of the LTTE terrorists. Ban Ki Moon is also insulting all the over 35,000 Sri Lankan Armed Forces members, Police Force members and Civil Defense Force members who perished at the hands of the LTTE terrorists.
If Ban Ki Moon can prove the above statistics wrong, please do so. Otherwise please do not insult the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka and the thousands of Sri Lankan citizens who were massacred by the LTTE terrorists for over 26 years. Thankfully the Sri Lankan civil war is at an end.
Regarding Ban Ki Moon’s deplorable statement further, the UN did absolutely nothing while the LTTE terrorist group recruited over 20,000 child soldiers, all Tamil youth, as attested by UNICEF itself which stated in 2007 that perhaps the LTTE has recruited over 20,000 young persons under the age of 18 years into its cadre between 1983-2007 inclusive.
The LTTE terrorist group also ethnically cleansed the entire Sinhala and Muslim population of the Northern Province, of over 65,000 Sinhala people and over 75,000 Muslim people of the Northern Province in the 1980s and the 1990s. The LTTE also ethnically cleansed the entire Sinhala population of the Batticaloa District in the East of over 25,000 Sinhala people. The UN did absolutely nothing then too.
Today, the Sinhala people and their descendants of over 135,000 are yet to be resettled in the North and in the Batticaloa District and Muslims of over 115,000 are yet to be resettled in the North. Uptil 2012, of the above number, around 32,000 Sinhala people and around 32,000 Muslims has been resettled in the North.
The LTTE was notorious for its horrific terror tactics such as large scale bomb attacks and the use of suicide bombers in carrying out hundreds of attacks against mainly Sinhala civilians and the country’s leadership, horrific attacks against Sinhala civilians using IED devices, claymore mines and bombs, the massacre of Sinhala villagers in their villages in the North Central, Eastern, Northern and North Western Provinces, the coerced recruitment or abduction of Tamil youth and children for recruitment as child soldiers, forced money collection from Tamils with threats to life in case of non-compliance, attacks on Sri Lanka’s economic infrastructure such as the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL), Sri Lanka’s the then only international airport, oil storage facilities, hotels, planes, buses, trains etc. ethnic cleansing of Sinhalese and Muslims from the North and East of Sri Lanka, the assassination of Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the systematic assassination of over 120 noteworthy Sri Lankan politicians, civil servants, senior military and police officers, prelates, activists, academics, journalists and other professionals who were assassinated by the LTTE who were but a few of the hundreds of assassinations carried out by the LTTE, including the former Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Lakshman Kadirgamar.
My plea to Ban Ki Moon is to leave Sri Lanka alone and for the UN to stop supporting once and for all, the brutal terrorists group the LTTE at least now. The UN has continuously supported the brutal terrorist group the LTTE while it massacred over 47,000 as shown above for over 26 years.
