Protest Rally At UN Against
'SL Genocide' As Presented By Tamilnet A Fabrication Of Realities
Insight By Sunil Kumar
For LankaWeb
Sept.26th 2008
This item carries no credibility beyond the cheap sensationalism it
portrays as firstly Tamilnet is a pro Liberatiion Tiger(terrorist) website
with little or no capacity towards reporting impartially on the true
situation in Sri Lanka as it is a pro LTTE website! It is indeed an
an attempt to draw the attention of the United Nations for all the wrong
reasons by finger pointing at the Sri Lankan Administration of Mahinda
Rajapaksha who together with his adminstration and Armed Foces are the
true liberators of Sri Lanka from the terrorist menace which has plagued
the Nation for decades where the end to the terrorist problem is finally
in sight.
It is a hard fact of life towards acceptance for all the terrorist supportives
around the world who have tried in vain to fund and support terrorism
in Sri lanka and failed miserably and now their frustrations and anguish
are showing! It is rational inference then what follows, that when over
1,000 American and Canadian Tamils and "friends of Tamils"
protested in front of the UN Headquarters in New York on September 24th
as reported on ‘Tamilnet’ it was a wasted effort where the
only interpretation which could be logically made is that it was a protestation
in anticipation of the end being in sight for what has been globally
condemned as illegal, unacceptable and criminal by many viable sources
including the superpower nations.Namely the continued existence of the
Tamil Tigers in their terrorist guise.
To denoune the visit to the UN by Sri Lankan President, Mahinda Rajapaksa
seems high ignorance and apathy on the part of those involved and the
'sanctions' the protestors demanded and advocated against Sri Lanka
citing the Principle of Responsibility to Protect as a means to halt
what the protesters alleged ‘genocide of Tamils’ is a load
of innuiendo laced exaggerations with high faluting expressions and
little or nothing to substantiate them! The Principle of Responsibility
to protect and the term" genocide of Tamils" are two issues
the terrorists and their supportives should study in depth towards their
applicability in the context alluded to and towards avoiding the coinage
of the term ignorance is bliss where neither the Principle of Responsibility
nor the 'genocide of Tamils' are realistic terms applicable in Sri Lanka
towards Governmental Liability although they would very well serve the
LTTE and their supportive as well as being applied to them as their
track record has proved not for a mere day, week, month or year but
for almost four decades!
Perhaps the meaningless chants of the protesters yelling "Rajapaksa,
don't come to the UN, go to The Hague." could have been reversed
to sound more like "Rajapaksha has a rightful presence in the UN
and Prabhakaran if captured alive hopefully needs to be despatched to
the Hague to be tried for crimes against humanity!where indeed a modest
semblance of which was demonstrated by the small gathering of Government
supporters and Buddhist monks and all kudos to them for their courage!
And regarding the protestor's petion presented to the UN notwithstanding
petitions being a democratic right of the individual to appeal any legitimate
issue, the one said to have been signed by the rally attendees addressed
to Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and handed over to the UN perhaps deserving
a trash bin deposit as the protest was one made against a democratically
elected head of state within the UN Charter albeit submitted by terrorist
supportives!.
This on the basis that this appeal which suggests that the Sri Lankan
Government has abdicated its responsibility to the Tamil inhabitants
of the Island and the international community embodied in the UN must
begin to enact its ideals for the unilateral protection of the vulnerable
Tamil people, is based upon innuendo, fabrications and concocted to
suit the occassion of the protest and no more and something which the
terrorist supportives from time to time use without much success towards
bringing disrepute to a perfectly reasonable and just Administration
which has neither sequesterd no isolated freedom loving non terrorist
supportive Tamils within Sri Lanka and an indisputable reality.
This petition which also proposed possible action by the UN such as
sending an independent monitor from the Office of the High Commissioner
for Human Rights, setting up internationally supervised safe havens
for civilians in active conflict zones, a total ban on military aid
to Sri Lanka, prosecution of the individuals in the Sri Lankan Government
and its Armed Forces for 'ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity
and genocide' on the island, and arranging for a special session on
Sri Lanka has so much falsified rhetoric as well as unmitigated paranoia
intended to mislead the international community that it needs to be
cited as an example of how not to present a case for the prosecution
as it often backfires on those presenting it as the discredit eventually
falls on them on the simple basis of falsification and distortion of
facts on the premise of premeditated bias in favour of the LTTE.
About 20 Sri Lankan government supporters, including Buddhist monks,
showed up briefly for a counter protest, which has to be the true cynosure
of this protest as their's is the only legitimate presentation, of the
issues that were distortedly portrayed to the world by their pro LTTE
opposite camp!
