Dear Ambassador Rice and Secretary Clinton,

I am writing to you regarding the situation in Sri Lanka. As you know, the United States will be chairing the United Nations Security Council this December, and it is my sincerest hope that this year, the United States can ensure that justice is achieved in Sri Lanka. The United States has a critically important role in determining international relations and maintaining sustainable peace in postwar countries such as Sri Lanka.

The UNSC has the power to refer cases to the International Criminal Court, even if the country in question is not a party to the Rome Statute. I believe that it is imperative that Sri Lanka’s war criminals—many of whom hold positions of political power in Sri Lanka—are held accountable for their crimes against innocent Tamil civilians during the war’s conclusion. The UNSC made a landmark decision when it referred the situation in Darfur to the ICC in 2005, thus allowing the ICC to investigate and prosecute crimes, even though Sudan is not a party to the Rome Statute. Similarly, Sri Lanka, which also has not ratified the Rome Statute, is not bound by international justice mechanisms unless the human rights situation in Sri Lanka is referred by the UNSC to the ICC.

Tamils in Sri Lanka and around the world are still waiting for justice, but the Sri Lankan government’s smoke-screen “Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission” will not provide the peace that Tamils and their allies and supporters desire and, more importantly, deserve. Only an independent and internationally-backed inquiry into the war crimes and crimes against humanity that took place during Sri Lanka’s civil war will yield truthful results and thus facilitate meaningful peace, justice, and reconciliation processes.

I urge you to use the US’s upcoming role as chair of the UNSC in order to ensure that an inquiry into Sri Lanka’s crimes is assigned a high priority on the UNSC’s agenda.
