Declare cessation of military operation under international supervision in SL - Justice Krishna Iyer

Saturday, 11 April 2009 07:05 administrator

Former Indian Supreme Court Judge and a well respected Jurist V R Krishna Iyer appeals for immediate cessation of military operation under international supervision in Sri Lanka.

In his appeal, Justice Krishna Iyer said, ‘sovereignty does not authorize internal atrocity and incalculable casualty.’ The world around should intervene to see justice was done.

Full Text of his Message is reproduced here:

“I do not take sides in this message with the LTTE or the Srilankan Government although there have been violent excesses on both sides resulting huge loss of life, property and tremendous suffering which I hate as one who stands for human rights. I pity the beautiful island of Srilanka which has now been a criminal field of carnage and butchery and savagery.

Day after day, the Srilankan Government since the days of its Independence been guilty of discrimination against Tamils as a class and the fuel for this fury and extremism and terrorism by the LTTE was the terrible discrimination in many dimensions against the Tamil Minority.

A fair federal system would have been perhaps the finest political, solution where justice, social, economic and political evenly managed, would have created a highly developed and prosperous island but that was not to be. Even now statesmanship of Srilankan Government should have declared a glorious federal state unilaterally.

Currently claiming victory the State Government in Colombo is inflicting untold slaughter tragedies, killing daily bleeding lives and indescribable human suffering. International law, so far as the Tamils are concerned, is the vanishing point of humanist jurisprudence.

Sovereignty does not authorize internal atrocity and incalculable casualty. I plead with moral indignation with the Buddhist Colombo Cabinet in power that militarized torture of a minority in Jafna will never be lasting if Rome and Greece and London have fallen, Colombo cannot survive by brute force. Please declare immediate cessation of military operation under international supervision. 'Humanity, not legality, is the process of Buddhism and Shaivism.' The world around should intervene to see that justice is done.

The most satisfactory ideal I have ever been able to form of justice is embodied in the picture of a judge courageous enough “to give the devil his due,” whether he be in the right or in the wrong. - (John F. Dillon)
