Mr. Volker Turk
UN High Commissioner Human Rights (UNHRC)

Dear High Commissioner Volker Turk:

       Re: What was gained in Human Rights by the end

     of the Tamil Tiger Terrorist separatist Eelam war in Sri Lanka,

     misses the UNHRC’s  Medallion Honour radar.  Not Good!

    ________________________________________________

What was missed by the past High Commissioners, Navanathem Pillay, Zeld Ra’ad Al Hussain and Michelle Bachlet, I sincerely hope that you will correct

during your term as the UN High Commissioner of Human Rights.

Here’s what it is that you all  at UNHRC cannot deny as Fact that with the jaundiced eagerness to label the War winning Sri Lankan armed forces that kicked the butts of the International darlings of Sri Lanka’s Tamil Tiger terrorism who were hell-bent to divide the island into two, calling the Sinhalese -Mothers Kkaki-angels,  criminals.  You at UNHRC missed to honour the Sri Lankan armed forces of another amazing act of Human Rights by providing the Tamil children a life of freedom,who otherwise would have been abducted from homes and schools, and snuffed-dead as Tamil child soldiers..

That was ugly and brutal on your part at UNHRC not to honour every soldier with a Medallion of Honour of Human Rights pinned  on their khaki, blue serge and navy-white uniforms as the Tamil children said in chorus,  at the end of the Eelam War on 19, May 2009:

Brother and Sister soldier

I will no longer be a forced child soldier

I will no longer have to hold a Kalashnikov,

I will no longer have to shoot that AK47,

and I don’t have to kill to survive.

I can now return home

To embrace my Amma and Appa.

Thank you for making me…FREE.

Thank you…thank you…thank you

To all you members of the 

Sri Lanka Armed Forces.”

Nor will we have another poet talk to you at UNHRC

in rhyme as Asoka Weerasinghe did for you all

to comprehend what  we went through in our hearts

and minds as Tamil children of the North of Sri Lanka.

This corpse speaks to me

Still warm and the mouth foams

With his mother’s milk.

A medallion of a misplaced

courage of drying blood

Is stuck to his chest

Where a bullet had pierced

In the assault cracking dark.

I am tired carrying

Around your mother’s tears

Washed with her breast milk

Which were your afternoon feed,

And I see all around you clothes strewn

Hastily like poppy-chested flowers

With eyes of executed children.

The naked truth is that you

Are a Tamil  Tiger” terrorist

Of a war of merciless adult hearts

All safe in jungle bunkers

Marching out the Baby Brigade

To line up as cannon fodder.

The ferris wheel of my eyeballs 

spit out fireworks to light

Up the jungle of stacked match-box coffins

To solicit a late embrace from your Mother

Before you become another number

In the catechism of our Jaffna children.,”

    (from Tears for my Roots by Asoka Weerasinghe)

I ask you Volker Turk stop trying to punish the

Sri Lankan Sinhalese Mothers’ Brigade who  guard

with broom-sticks and ikle brooms their Khaki , Blue Serge

and Navy-white Angels”, who gave them their school

going children as a whole, and not in plywood caskets as puzzles of

heads, limbs, blood-clotted flesh, having him/her blown

to pieces by a Tamil Tiger Claymore mine on their way home from

school.

Don’t you see it, Volker?   Little wonder why the Republican Nikki Haley said that you lot at UNHRC are a cesspool of political bias, and a self serving body that makes a mockery of human rights,.”   How true…how true!

Volker, what did the UNHRC do to save these Tamil kids being abducted and forcibly recruited as child soldiers by the Tamil Tiger terrorists.   You all did sweet nothing.  Right!  But the brave Sri Lankan men in Khaki, blue serge and Navy white gave them the second chance to live.

But you all have the gall and temerity to punish the Sri Lankan Mother’s ‘khaki angels’ who gave the Tamils kid-boys and girls their freedom.  Shish!  What Tosh, Volker!   What saucers of  smelly Gunusskoarl

I hope you will show us Sri Lankans, that your conscience holds a wealth

of Austrian honesty when dealing with Sri Lanka and not maintaining one-sided narratives, legitimizing Tamil Tiger terrorists propaganda while sidelineing Sri Lanka’s amazing Human Rights achievements, as did your past Commissioners Pillay, Zeid and Bachelet.

You ignore the amazing  acts by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces like giving back

20.5 million of their people their right-to-life” which was hijacked for 30-bloody

Years by the Tamil Tiger terrorists…..How can you ignore the amazing act of Human rights by the Sri Lankan soldiers rescuing 295,873 and who were NOT bumped off by the Sri Lankan armed forces, but housed them in a White Tent City, and sustained by feeding them, a million meals a days – breakfasts, lunches and dinners.   How could you ignore such Classic war textbook Acts of Human Rights. And what do they get for their gallantry according  to the grandiose scheme of the UNHRC?,  Eleven (11) UNHRC Resolutions seeking to punish Sri Lanka. What a bunch of cesspool niggardly, putrid International Bullies! That’is what you are…and Nikki Haley got it right.

And you,  Volker Turk, as an honest Austrian, fail to recognize the Sri Lankan

Armed Forces Amazing Glorious Human Rights Acts… you would only insult your good, and honest Austrian people.  And I will not hesitate to Curse you with a rubbishing word…”Boo!”

There you are Volker, Asoka Weerasinghe, a Sri Lankan-Canadian has spoken from his heart.  You lot who are gung-ho, wanting to punish the gallant Sri Lankan soldiers, do not  deserve any kinder words as a Sri Lankan Diplomat would do.

Warmly

Asoka Weerasinghe (Mr.)
