Dear Mr. Turk.

So you were in Sri Lanka, on an assignment for the UNHRC which Nikki Haley, who was the US Ambassador to the UN (2017-18), defined you lot, quite rightly, as the cesspool of political bias, and a self serving body that makes a mockery of human rights.”   Under my breath I said Sweet Mother of Jesus, Nikki is so damn right. Hallelujah!!”

So I read that the UN Human Rights Chief  (YOU) urges  (Sri Lankan) domestic mechanisms (to be) in line with international norms.”

Ha! Volker, you must be joking.  If indeed it was to be a joke, you were pulling my wrong left leg, which did not have jingle bells. It was the right leg that had to be pulled to make a sound that would have made me tickle and laugh.

You know what Volker, for starters, you had no official mandate to finger and interfere

in my Mother Lanka’s domestic affairs or demand repealing her laws.  You heard what Nikki Haley quite rightly said, didn’t you? Let me repeat it in case you missed it the first time…The UNHRC is the cesspool of political bias and a self serving body that makes a mockery of human rights.”

Volker, here is a FACT that you did not know.  Sri Lanka (my Mother Lanka)

is not a member of the UNHRC, thus your resolutions are NON-BINDING.

So don’t be a bunch of pompous thuggish-bullies, trying to nail this democratic sovereign small island nation onto your ‘Goody two shoes’ rickety falling-apart cross of Human Rights.’

You know what Volker?  You wouldn’t know what international norms in a war theatre are, even if a War textbook classic Military Act falls at your feet from heaven.

Here is a Sri Lankan Case Study where you at UNHRC makes a mockery of such international norms in Human Rights because you all at UNHRC are a

bunch of bullies in a Cesspool of political bias which seems to trump courage, decency, principled truth and honesty. 

On the 18th May 2009, the Sri Lankan armed forces shot a bullet

through the forehead of Velupillai Prabhakaran, and killed the leader of the most ruthless Terrorist group in the world, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE aka Tamil Tigers) on the sands of the Nandikadal Lagoon on the Mullaitivu Coast of East Sri Lanka.

This killing annihilated the Tamil Tiger terrorist group that had hijacked

the paramount Human Right of Sri Lankan citizens, their ‘Right-to-Life’  for 30 blood-spilling years.

The end result was the giving back the Right-to-life” by Sri Lankan khaki fatigued  soldiers, to 21 million Sri Lankans. And that was a monumental Human Rights Act worthy of a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.  And  you know it, and you all at the UNHCR knew it.   And it sucks that you all couldn’t care two-Austrian-Euro coins for this brave act of Sri Lankan men and women soldiers.    You all at your cesspool, never, ever gave any recognition of value FOR THIS COURAGEOUS  ARMY ACT. Shish! What a bummer!!  That’s pretty rich, isn’t it?

And you have the uppityness to tell the Sri Lankan Government that ..you urge domestic mechanisms in line with international norms.’ What norms are you talking of?  That’s a load of poppycock, Volker!

And do you know what Volker?   Your cesspool bunch didn’t care two pickled

Austrian herring in a Heringssalat.   That’s how bogus Humbugs you all were. You all  didn’t acknowledge this amazing act and say these words to our soldiers. This is amazing stuff.  Congratulations!  You all did it, especially when you all did not get any foreign military armoured support, like what the Tamil Tiger terrorists got.”

So Volker, its time that you all retire this biased BS.   I am tired of Your

rude pie-in-the sky HUMBUG on my Mother Lanka.   She deserves better!

And that is why I stand tall guarding her in Canada since July 24, 1983.

Here is the Case Study 2 which proves positive that your UNHCR is a cesspool of political bias and that it is time that you all retired your politically bias crap about my Mother Lanka that I have been romancing  since July 24, 1983,when she was in trouble with people like you, and your colleagues like Ban ki-Moon, Navi Pillay, Steven Ratner, Marzuki Darusman, and Yasmin Sooka. Like the Canadian parliamentarians who supported the Sri Lankan Tamil separatist cause, bartered for votes at Federal elections.

In March 2009, the Tamil Tiger terrorists marched 295,873 Tamils as a Human Shield from the west coast of Sri Lanka to the east coast under a scorching-hot Jaffna-Kilinochchi sun like unwashed cattle. These Tamils got a God-sent humane break to continue living longer, when they were rescued from the clutches of the Tamil Tiger terrorists by the Sri Lakan soldiers before being bumped off by them.,  The end result of this miraculous War Act of love, honesty and caring by these Sinhalese soldiers were to go to lengths to sustain the lives of these 295,873 Tamils.  They were housed in a  White Tent City, and provided them a million cooked meals a day, under a Dietician’s supervision, breakfasts, lunches and dinners.   Did you hear me say, a million cooked meals a day….

Yes, a million meals a day.”

And,  Volker, your Smart-Alec-Goody-two-shoes colleagues at UNHRC did not have the honesty, courtesy, and decency to acknowledge this amazing  Classic Textbook War Act   How come Volkert?      Was it because what Nikki Haley discerned that you were a cesspool of political bias and a self serving body that makes a mockery of human rights,”  was right knocking the socks off you all!

And this is what happened.  You at UNHRC,  purposely missed giving credit to the Sri Lankan soldiers for this amazing life rescuing Humanitarian Act, and had the gall and temerity to ignore it and give no recognition to this humbling, honest, loving act.  Boo!..to you all  Volker Turk…what a bunch of dishonest, ignoramus

Do-dos.  That was brutal.  Was it not this act in line with international norms that You asked the Government of Sri Lanka to adopt?”

Tough tiddy”, I say.

 And, Man-Oh-Man!,  Sweet Mother of Jesus, the UN High Commissioner Volker Turk, the  UNHRC Head, slipped badly on your protocol when you continued with that stupid Tamil Tiger terrorist promoting shenanigan act, when you took a helicopter ride to lay flowers for a selective mourning of dead Tamil Tiger terrorists in Chemmani,   Aren’t you stupid, or what?

You talk claiming to be a bright-eyed ‘human rights’ wallah from the United Nations.   Did you not know that there were two factions in this war.   Where was your neutrality when you did not reciprocate by laying flowers at a grave of the massacred Sinhalese  by the Tamil Tigers, which happened to be the other faction in this Eelam War. Damn it, Volker! That shameful  bias act further polarized the two factions that were at war for 30-long years, the Tamils wanting their mono-ethnic, racist, separate Tamil state, Eelam.  And the Sinhalese saying

to the Tamils

Oh, No, we won’t let that land go.  

As this is My land as well as Your land, 

from Valvettithurai in the North 

to Dondra Head  in the South.

So ou can go and fly a kite

and don’t you spoil us for a fight!”

You could have taken the same helicopter to the site where the Aranthalawa grave site is of the 32 Novice Buddhist monks who were massacred, butchered, shot dead and chopped with machetes and swords, and laid a wreath or a tray of flowers, as you did for the dead Tamils at Chemmani.

In my eyes you are guilty of this atrocious bias. I will NOT forgive you.  With that stupidity you have abrogated the call of the Manthra by your employer UNHRC for RECONCILIATION between the two warring parties.

That is a bucket load of stinking rotting Austrian herring Volker. What You just did, that bias act,  was not a good reason for a RECONCILIATION but a good reason for a  RE-CON-SILLY-A-SHUN.

You lost it big time on that one. It’s time that you at UNHRC stop promoting

Reconciliation.  You foolish people…no one is going to trust you lot as a bunch of honest, squeaky clean Human Rights wallahs.  No damn way! You blew it BIG TIME, Volker…You Blew it…You blew it.  Don’t be foolish and repeat that foolishness again.

In conclusion, I sincerely hope that the Government of Sri Lanka had the gumption and demanded from You now that you are heading the UNHRC, that

1.  An apology for the selective glorification of Tamil Tiger terrorists – linked grave sites;
2. Refuse to visit massacre sites and meet with families of Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim victims of the Tamil Tiger massacres;
3. A full audit of the Darusman, Petrie and OISL reports were commissioned, funded, and used outside of UNGA and UNSC mandate;
4. A UNGA – led legal review of all resolutions and reports against Sri Lanka;
5. Reaffirmation that non-international armed conflicts fall under domestic jurisdiction; 
6.  Review on how human rights laws have replaced international humanitarian laws for selective justice.

HC Volker Turk, by now you must be wondering who the heck is this guy

Asoka Weerasinghe is?

By now from the composition of the language of my letter, you may rightly guessed that I’m no diplomat.  I leave the diplomatic writings to Sri Lanka’s paid diplomats.

I have written over 2000 letters on this file since August 4, 1983, and over  500 have picked up ink in leading newspapers in Canada and political journals   Among them are letters sent to Ban Ki Moon; Louis Arbor, Navi Pillay,  Michelle Bachelet and now to you Volker Turk at UNHRC.

This letter to you was written from my heart, and I am sure you might have felt my love of gratitude for my Mother Lanka that I still call my home.   And the collective anger towards who ever trying to sully the dignity of her  good name because of this Tamil Eelam War

What you did not see or feel the heat was of my spitting Dragon-breath from of my cartwheeling eyes to those who are trying to hurt my Mother Lanka unfairly, who nurtured me for the first 19-years of my life   I live in immense gratitude for her… and she knows that I will stand in guard for her in Canada, and I will never, ever let her down.

You will certainly hear my voice again with each misstep by you on this file, like the church bells of the Gothic Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Linz, Austria. 

Sincerely

Asoka Weerasinghe (Mr.)
