Yes of course Zaid Ra\u2019ad Al Hussain and Pablo de Greiff may have heard of terrorism, but terrorism in Sri Lanka they see\u00a0 through their\u00a0 professional eyes, after all they have a job to do.\u00a0\u00a0 They cannot\u00a0 see it\u00a0 from the eyes of those who witnessed the brutality of\u00a0 terrorism. Therefore they do not see it from the angle of those who suffered from terrorism. They take reality for myth and\u00a0 myth for reality.<\/p>\n

But they cannot shut their eyes to the\u00a0 human side of what it was like suffering under terrorism. For them the period of terrorism in Sri Lanka is fiction or like reading\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 books about\u00a0 the killing of the inhabitants of\u00a0 ancient Mexico the Aztec by\u00a0 the Invading Spaniards or burning of non-believers at stake to make others obedient and\u00a0 accept to be Catholics\u00a0 through fear of death in the hands of\u00a0 the\u00a0 armies of the Inquisitors.<\/p>\n

Above all for them the terrorists in Sri Lanka were terrorising Sri Lankans and not the foreigners.\u00a0 Therefore the Americans,\u00a0 Norwegians, Germans , Japanese and the foreign NGOs met the terorists and\u00a0 sat with the Sri Lanka terrorists to drink together\u00a0 and eat lobsters in Kilinochchi. Even American Senators\u00a0 came to enjoy the hospitality of the terrorists.<\/p>\n

It is a pity Zaid Ra\u2019ad was not there then , because he would have had his share of lobsters dinning and wining with the terrorists. It became a holiday resort for the INGOs, the Government representatives of USA, UK,Norway, Germany , Japan etc.<\/p>\n

We appeal to the\u00a0 47 Representatives of the governments at the UN HR Council Geneva, listening to stories concocted by the UNHRC presenting a report prepared on 3000 statements by eyewitnesses, whose identity strangely is to be kept confidential for thirty years, to understand the efforts the UN and the big powerful countries are making to hide the truth and establish falsehood in its place.\u00a0 It is the Agenda of Navi Pillai that is evident in the UN Report on Sri Lankan war crimes presented by Zaid Ra\u2019ad the UN High Commissioner.<\/p>\n

How can any one intelligent assume the report presented without giving\u00a0 the names of witnesses as correct ? It is a report prepared at the behest of the Tamils who have paid\u00a0 people like Callum MacRae the Garbage Collector by profession, of UKTV Channel4 to make a film of the horrors of terrorism as those committed by\u00a0 the Armed Forces. The UN Report presented at the UNHRC in Geneva is absolutely fiction as much as MacRae\u2019s film.<\/p>\n

In realistic democracy\u00a0 any action taken by a sovereign state against terrorism or an armed insurgence to stop and eliminate such terrorism or insurgence should be beyond interference into by any other sovereign state, or even an International Organisation-the UNO,\u00a0 because such actions are the inalienable right of a sovereign State in protecting its people and territory.<\/p>\n

In Sri Lanka an insurgency of Sinhala youth in south was stopped\u00a0 by the then governments with the use of excessive\u00a0 repression, with reported use of torture and assassination of\u00a0 the\u00a0 insurgents , which was not questioned by the UN or the International Community. The suppression of that insurgency in the South ended without question despite torture, and assassination of large numbers of youth.<\/p>\n

Similarly terrorism that began by\u00a0 a group of Tamil youth was eliminated militarily with out inflicting torture.\u00a0 But that did not stop there as it was with the insurgence of the Sinhala youth in the South.<\/p>\n

Why was it so ?<\/p>\n

In the case of the terrorism it was an ethnic group the Tamils who were the terrorists.\u00a0 When the terrorism was eliminated it should have stopped at that, as it\u00a0 happened in the insurgency in the South.<\/p>\n

But the former became an international issue as the Tamil expatriates living in different countries in the West who were sympathisers of the terrorists and who contributed to arm the terrorists were able to make a hue and cry in the countries in which they were living\u00a0 using the ethnic issue as the reason for the government\u00a0 to eliminate terrorism militarily.<\/p>\n

They made it out that it was not a mere elimination of terrorism but it was a deliberate\u00a0 suppression of the right of the Tamils by the Sinhala majority government. Under normal circumstances the West and even the UN should not have intervened as what the Government of Sri Lanka had done using the Armed Forces was to stop terrorism, because Tamil or not terrorism had to be stopped by\u00a0 the government whatever its ethnic representation , as it is the inalienable right of the Government to do so in the interest of its people and territory.<\/p>\n

The Governmentof Sri Lanka\u00a0 could not have stopped an insurgency by the Sinhala youth and allowed the terrorists to continue their terrorism because they were Tamil. That seems to be the lopsided\u00a0 logic\u201d of the West and the UN Human Rights Council and its Commissioners.<\/p>\n

In fact there is no right what so ever to make the elimination of\u00a0 terrorism in Sri Lanka an issue of violation of human rights , leave alone making\u00a0 accusation of the Armed Forces for war crimes.<\/p>\n

What happened in Sri Lanka in the elimination of terrorism by the use of Armed Forces, is justifiable , compared to what the USA and its NATO partners did in Iraq and Libya , which was not just violation of human rights but complete annihilation of Nations.<\/p>\n

If the UNHRCouncil in Geneva were to justify its right to exist, and win the confidence of member states( other than\u00a0 the\u00a0 real perpetrators of crimes),\u00a0 as a Council that stands for human rights, it should bring allegations against\u00a0 USA and its NATO Partners for deliberately planned crimes against humanity.<\/p>\n

Elimination of terrorism in Sri Lanka was\u00a0 the Government\u2019s inalienable right and duty as the provider of security to the people assuring them of their peaceful existence without allowing its enemies, what ever their origin, ethnicity or formation to destroy or divide the country.<\/p>\n

That is the correct interpretation the Western Governments should have made to the Tamil expatriates in their countries who were demanding their intervention in Sri Lanka as the elimination of terrorism was\u00a0 a discrimination against the Tamil Community in Sri Lanka. But it was not the Tamil Community that the Armed Forces were fighting against but the terrorists.<\/p>\n

Instead of that, \u00a0now the UNHRCouncil Geneva working on a resolution by USA is asking for \u00a0accountability by the government of Sri Lanka, \u00a0presenting\u00a0 the Darusman Report and\u00a0 the latest UN Report is a serious injustice \u00a0against Sri Lanka a Sovereign State which had done nothing wrong\u00a0 in eliminating terrorism, but\u00a0 doing its duty by its people.<\/p>\n

The terrorism has been eliminated, and it is now, that any one could go around collecting false eyewitness accounts. If\u00a0 the conditions that prevailed at the time during the last phase of war against terrorism could be imagined by even a least educated\u00a0 person he would give no credit at all to the so called\u00a0 3000 eyewitness accounts. People \u00a0running away from the terrorists holding them as a human shield, had no time to look back and see what was happening, as \u00a0they were running pell-mell with the only idea of saving their own lives.<\/p>\n

Therefore, \u00a0Mr.Zaid Ra\u2019ad Hussain those 3000 eyewitness accounts are not worth\u00a0 the paper on which they have been written. They are false beyond doubt, and besides there is no acceptable evidence to prove beyond doubt that those eyewitness accounts are true.<\/p>\n

The two reports- Darusman Report and the UN Report on Sri Lankan war crimes, are not acceptable for the simple reason that the names of the witnesses\u00a0 who gave evidence on which the reports have been prepared are being \u00a0kept confidential for 30 years.<\/p>\n

This is not different from President Bush stepping over the UN Security Council to declare war against Iraq, showing a false document prepared by Tony\u00a0 Blair the then Prime Minister of UK, that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.<\/p>\n

What moral right Zaid Ra\u2019ad Al Hussain\u00a0 has as the UN Commissioner for Human Rights to continue to go on with\u00a0 the Resolution moved by USA, and present the false UN Report on Sri Lankan war crimes, before calling USA to account for the crimes it has committed against Iraq and Libya and continues to do in Pakistan using unmanned Drones.<\/p>\n

The UN Report on Sri Lankan war crimes is an absolutely false document prepared to\u00a0 satisfy the expatriate Tamil Community in the West, USA its Western Allies; and India to divide Sri Lanka so that China and Russian influence in the particular geographic area could be eliminated and enable the \u00a0setting up of an American military base.<\/p>\n

If the Prince Zaid Ra\u2019ad Al Hussain has any proud royal blood in him he should honourably resign from his Office as UN High Commissioner instead of presenting a false document which has no legal value as\u00a0 the defendants are not in a position\u00a0 to cross examine the so called\u00a0 3000 eyewitnesses who had provided statements the \u00a0truth of which cannot be established.<\/p>\n

Further more UNHRCouncil should extend the charges made against the LTTE in the UN report on Sri Lankan war crimes in the absence of the terrorists, to those who supported terrorism, for aiding and abetting terrorists in Sri Lanka, as they became a party to terrorism by collecting\u00a0 funds for the terrorists, engaging American lawyers to defend terrorism,\u00a0 help and encourage terrorists to carry on terrorism in Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n

Notice should therefore be issued to Sampanthan and\u00a0 TNA, Jayalalitha, Karunanidhi and Vaiko\u00a0 of Tamil Nadu, Fr. Emmanual of the Global Tamil Forum, , Nediavan. And the\u00a0 following Tamil Organisations<\/p>\n

01. Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam a.k.a LTTE a.k.a Tamil Tigers.
\n02. Tamil Rehabilitation Organization a.k.a TRO.
\n03. Tamil Coordinating Committee a.k.a TCC
\n04. British Tamil Forum a.k.a BTF
\n05. World Tamil Movement a.k.a WTM
\n06. Canadian Tamil Congress a.k.a CTC
\n07. Australian Tamil Congress a.k.a ATC
\n08. Global Tamil Forum a.k.a GTF
\n09. National Council Of Canadian Tamils a.k.a NCCT a.k.a Makkal Avai
\n10. Tamil National Council a.k.a TNC
\n11.Tamil Youth Organization a.k.a TYO
\n12. World Tamil Coordinating Committee a.k.a WTCC.
\n13. Transnational Government Of Tamil Eelam a.k.a TGTE
\n14. Tamil Eelam Peoples Assembly a.k.a TEPA
\n15 .World Tamil Relief Fund a.k.a WTRF
\n16. Headquarters Group a.k.a HQ Group<\/p>\n

The speech of the Foreign Minister of Sri Lanka Mangala Samaraweera is a complete sell out of the\u00a0 Armed Forces of Sri Lanka of which some made the supreme sacrifice and others handicapped for life.\u00a0 These Soldiers and their Army Commanders\u00a0 did their\u00a0 job to protect the people of Sri Lanka, and their motherland.<\/p>\n

The Armed Forces of Sri Lanka\u00a0 did not deliberately kill the civilians, and if some died that is collateral damages which is unavoidable in the elimination of a greater danger.\u00a0 If the Sri Lanka Armed Forces had not eliminated terrorism\u00a0 when it did , terrorism would have continued and many more civilians\u00a0 from all communities in Sri Lanka\u00a0 would have been\u00a0 dying daily at the hand of the terrorists, their Suicide bombers, grenade lobbers, snipers, claymore bombs set in busses\u00a0 and in trains and in market places, and the suffering would have continue, unabated.<\/p>\n

Is it that what the UN,\u00a0 and those who now accuse the Armed Forces of Sri Lanka for war crimes\u00a0 wanted ?<\/p>\n

The African States, Asia pacific States and the Latin American Carribbean States present at the sessions of the UNHRCouncil in Geneva , should take note of what the UN, USA and other Western States are capable of doing against developing countries who want to be independent of the repressive\u00a0 countries, and follow a non-aligned political system . These powerful States are all out to maintain their global leadership suppressing the rights of the developing Countries.<\/p>\n

As it had been repeated above Sri Lanka is accused unjustly at the call of pro terrorist Tamil expatriates for the simple reason of eliminating\u00a0 terrorism in Sri Lanka by a group of Tamil and ending a thirty years of incessant suffering.<\/p>\n

The USAand the West who were against the Chinese and Russian support of Sri Lanka and its very\u00a0 close relationship with China which helped\u00a0 Sri Lanka\u2019s very fast infrastructure development , \u00a0is making all efforts to isolate Sri Lanka from China and Russia and bring accusations against Sri Lanka for war crimes.<\/p>\n

It is Sri Lanka today that is being unjustly accused by the UN System which is now almost\u00a0 part of the USA State Department, to morrow it will be one of you from the African States, Asia pacific States or the Latin American- Carribbean States.\u00a0 Therefore do not let\u00a0 the rich buy you for their benefit, but try to defend one of you- that is Sri Lanka against this International political terrorism by the Rich Countries of the West against the developing Nations.<\/p>\n
