Does the UNHRC have a mandate to judge international humanitarian law in an armed conflict?Sri Lanka’s conflict is defined as a non-international armed conflict where governing rules are IHL. Why is the UNHRC taking Sri Lanka to task based on human rights alone and that too human rights that are outside of the conflict. When […]

How come LTTE terrorist Aunty Adele is more important to the UK than Lord Naseby? Lord Naseby has asked a very pertinent question – why is UK not prosecuting Adele Balasingham for child soldier recruitment. The UK is not answering him? This is the same UK Government drafting resolutions against Sri Lanka for war crimes, […]

Operation Vadamarachchi that encircled Prabakaran was brought to a close by Operation Poomalai by India and Prabakaran was evacuated to India by helicopter and kept until the Indo-Lanka Accord was signed and Rajiv Gandhi returned to Delhi. By rescuing Prabakaran in May 1987 India is responsible for every killing by LTTE until finally Sri Lanka’s […]

What kind of double game is India playing? How long does India think it can pretend to be friends of its neighbors while planning the downfall of its neighbors? Obviously this stems from a DNA that goes back to colonial rule wherein India was Colonial Britain’s trusted sepoy. India became India only after the Colonial […]

With every year, the resolutions and recommendations to Sri Lanka by the UNHRC have nothing whatsoever to do with the last phase of the conflict and the manner it ended. Geneva sessions have become nothing but intrusions into the internal affairs of Sri Lanka and a close look at the changes demanded showcase a ploy […]

The US has outsourced 2021 Resolution against Sri Lanka to its poodle UK. UK is accusing Sri Lanka of killing 40,000, while this number cannot even be proved by providing even names of the supposed dead even after 12 years, the UK’s killings in then Ceylon over almost 150 years of occupation hasn’t even been […]

We are told there is a War against Terror. Sri Lanka should know, we suffered various forms of terror, the LTTE being the most heinous. That terror lasted 3 decades. We wasted decades following Western/UN templates of ceasefires, negotiations, peace talks. Lives were lost and people lived in fear. All communities fell victims. In 2006, […]

When the capital of the LTTE falls, it also signaled the end of the LTTE. That significant victory was delivered by Maj. Gen. Jagath Dias on 2ndJanuary 2009.With the fall of LTTE’s capital and stronghold, it virtually meant the end of the military offensive and the beginning of the humanitarian rescue operation. This is poignant […]

The UNHRC is all about HUMAN RIGHTS. Sri Lanka’s conflict ended with a military offensive that applied international humanitarian laws and not human rights law. Sri Lanka has to be judged by violations of IHL not HR in a non-international armed conflict. Nevertheless, human rights is human rights and there can be no time bar […]

Sri Lanka’s Foreign Minister has expressed what the Sri Lankan public wish to hear. We want the Government to take a firm stand and strategize on how to put to rest this unfair, biased witch hunt against Sri Lanka. A conflict that lasted 3 decades was ended not by UN or UNHRC but by Sri […]

A 11minute youtube video has been released of LTTE well-timed and poses questions for the international entities and individuals holding candles to LTTE. The footage shows LTTE children and adults in training – how many of them are alive today. Can the government issue a notice for all those living to present themselves or the […]

We thought we knew the worst about the LTTE. It appears there’s much more to LTTE brutality. The FBI described LTTE as the ‘most dangerous & deadly extremists’ in the world. But we never thought LTTE would stoop to the level of using innocent voiceless animals as guinea pigs for their brutality.It appears LTTE’s brutality knows […]

Lt. Col. Lawrence Smith was the US Defense Attache to the US embassy in Colombo during the conflict. Lt. Col. Anthony Gash was the UK Defense Attache to the UK High Commission in Colombo during the conflict. Both were privy to top level information which they passed on to their respective governments. Their info and […]

A UN member state is being accused of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity & even ‘genocide’.Sri Lanka has been the victim of an annual witch hunt sponsored by blood-money for 12 years. All of these allegations has credibility if and only if they can prove Sri Lanka intentionally killed 40,000 and the deaths are disproportionate […]

Shenali D Waduge History will one day be witness to the lies, deceit and hypocrisies taking place in the Halls of the UN and in particular the UNHRC. What Sri Lanka must repeatedly exert is that all of the resolutions since 2009 claiming to be based on how Sri Lanka ended the conflict and claiming […]

Shenali D Waduge On 21stApril 2019 – 10 years of peace without a single bombing incident since defeat of LTTE was shattered. The multiple attacks that took place on Easter Sunday has put even LTTE to shame. LTTE at no time in its 30 years of terror was able to carry out multiple attacks with […]

On 11 February 2013 the UNHRC Head Navi Pillay presented A/HRC/22/38 report to the UNHRC. The idea of summarizing these reports is to showcase how Geneva hijacked what claimed to be questioning what happened inside a war zone to include a plethora of non-conflict related issues and scare the GoSL into accepting the lists of […]

The controversy associated with covid-19 remains unanswered. We still don’t know how it came and the root cause for its spread. But we do know that over 1.78million are dead. It’s a shocking number. We also know that covid makes no differentiation nor does it favor any race, religion, nationality or continent. Covid doesn’t care […]

Tamil politicians can speak for the welfare and rights of the Tamils, Muslims can demand rights and privileges for Muslims, Hindus, Christians and Catholics can demand their rights but why is it considered taboo for Sinhalese to speak about the future of the Sinhalese or for Sinhalese Buddhists to exercise their rights in a land […]

LTTE terrorism was defeated in May 2009. Without a charismatic terrorist leader, LTTE is unlikely to resurface. But, the efforts to create a Tamil Eelam or a Greater Tamil Eelam encompassing Tamil Nadu has scope as it is aligned to geopolitical goals of those that sponsored Tamil militancy & separatism. Global proscriptions of LTTE did […]

How much is China more of a threat to India than US, will be a question India must continue to ask, as it rushes to sign agreements with US. Whether India will become ornamental allies like Montenegro & North Macedonia is yet to be seen. Who would have thought that India leaning Soviet Union and […]

It is not every day that the US Secretary of State receives letters from unknown, undisclosed and unheard of countries and people calling themselves Prime Minister while living in the US, working in the US and claiming he is head of a utopian country while in the US. Maybe the US Secretary of State should […]

This is a right of reply to an article appearing on Daily FT titled History repeating – Are we going to lose MCC or not?” by an anonymous international development expert on 22 October 2020. It would be nice for this so-called international development expert with 25 year’s experience to reveal his name if he […]

Mike Pompeo is arriving amidst a sudden & unexpected covid surge in Sri Lanka and coming from two of the worst covid-hit countries. He is arriving to fulfil objectives of 2 designations. He is the Chair of the Board of Directors of MCC as well as the US Secretary of State.He most certainly is not arriving […]

This question is being asked across numerous public portals and begs the Government to answer & relieve all doubts. Having got itself tagged as a ‘nationalist’ government (on top of all the other nasty words plucked out of the dictionary), no citizen expects the Government to do anything ‘anti-national’ especially in secret. The people’s apprehensions […]

Maithripala Sirisena was not born with a silver spoon. He was no presidential material but he controversially became President with a thumbs up by 62lakh voters in January 2015 aided even by foreign governments & a coterie of civil society organizations & NGOs. Today, these entities regret that decision. His impassioned address to the Nation […]

There are some ground realities all of us need to come to terms with. While in Sri Lanka, only the TNA chants ‘Eelam’ & Pro-LTTE slogans, that too closer to some election or event, to give themselves some cheap publicity, all of the demands for Eelam are coming from Tamils living on foreign shores. Not […]

When the heroic armed forces of Sri Lanka eliminated the ground force of the LTTE including its top brass, they succeeded in ending 3 decades of terror and gave the 20mllion populace an elusive peace sans bombs, suicide missions and assassinations. The LTTE was vanquished in May 2009. That heroism did not come without sacrifice. […]
