‘Investigate on Sri Lanka’ – Called Karen Parker - 10th Session in UN

Featured Replies

Monday, 16th March the Human Rights Council began its general debate on the promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development, addressing a wide range of issues.

At the debate, Karen Parker, of International Educational Development, said the decision of the High Commissioner to investigate, from the perspective of genocide, the decision of the Government of Sudan to expel humanitarian aid organizations from the Darfur region was applauded. This situation was directly related to the mandates of the Special Rapporteurs on the right to food and on health. The investigation should also address Sri Lanka, where the Government had expelled all international humanitarian aid providers from the war zone. Severe restrictions on food and medical care was an element in the crime of extermination under the Rome Statute and Elements of the International Criminal Court. Public statements could be of great value in preventing genocide, as many countries would not otherwise respond. The Council should hold a special session on all the genocide red alert situations.

The Tamil people's right to self-determination

Author: Deirdre McConnell

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the crisis in Sri Lanka and states why an armed conflict has developed in the northern and eastern parts (north-east) of the country. The Tamils' accusations—of discrimination, denial of the right to self-determination, abrogated agreements and violations of international human rights and humanitarian law amounting to genocide by successive Sri Lankan governments—are supported by specific evidence given by international human rights and legal experts, international human rights non-governmental organizations and other relevant entities. The democratic parliamentary efforts and the non-violent resistance struggle of the Tamil people prior to the outbreak of war are traced over several decades. The article includes an outline of social and law and order achievements in the north-east under the de facto administration of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and concludes with some current international dimensions of the situation.
