The Silence of Sri Lanka By DAVID MILIBAND and BERNARD KOUCHNER

Reports like the one compiled for the secretary general must not stand on the shelf. They must be the basis of action. Or the law becomes an ass

Sri Lanka’s “Novel way to kill tens of thousands”: The Times

And Killing Fields had that awful, novel thing, in the shape of the rape of the Tamil women. I have never seen footage like this before: dead women on the jungle floor, naked from neck to knee, like gifts torn open in the middle by greedy, evil children.

Channel 4 releases documentary 'Sri Lanka's Killing Fields'

In one of the most heartbreaking scenes of this documentary, crowds gather outside the UN compound, asking them not to go. Says an aged Tamil brahmin, "We are begging you to stay and witness our suffering. If we allow you to leave, the truth is that everyone here will die. The knife is at our throat."

Full investigation needed into alleged Sri Lankan war crimes

Justice and accountability in Sri Lanka cannot rely on the government, but depends on strong and concerted action by the international community.

Sri Lanka's Violence Toward Tamil Minority Continues

Sri Lanka regime thumbs its nose at the world after Genocide; allows occupying soldier's physical and sexual abuse of Tamil Hindu and Christian population to continue. When is enough, enough?

U.S. fails to move beyond words against Sri Lanka for war-crimes against Tamils

The United States on Monday failed to go beyond stating a few more words about the atrocities committed in Sri Lanka against Tamils and other minorities during the war, even after more damaging evidence is emerging according to statements made by the U.S. State Department.

Post-War Sri Lanka: Rethinking Reconciliation

While I agree with the overall vision, I cannot help but demand that those responsible for heinous atrocities not be allowed to walk, head held high and cleansed of wrong doing, beside me while I take these "steps" towards reconciliation.

SRI LANKA - ALLEGED CONFLICT OF INTERESTS SERIOUSLY COMPROMISE NSA MENON’S AND UN NAMBIAR’S ROLE

Stalling UN action with an ‘expert panel’ for over two years since the infamous Mullivaykkal massacres is a remarkable contribution by the UN Nambiar to its patrons, Colombo and Delhi. UN Nambiar’s brother another Nambiar is the advisor to the SL armed forces that stand accused as perpetrators of the crimes UN is pursuing.

Those who committed Genocide on Tamils should be brought to Justice: BJP

“We are not going to give up till all those people involved in genocide are brought to justice,” said India’s former Foreign Minister and a top leader of the Bharatiya Janatha Party (BJP) Yashwant Sinha Friday, questioning the motives behind New Delhi’s silence on the UN Chief’s expert panel report that found credible evidences for the wide-spread allegations of war-crime committed by the Sri Lankan troops. According to media reports from India, leaders of various mainstream political parties, including the BJP, on Friday have expressed solidarity with Eezham Tamils, saying that they would continue to raise their voice until everyone responsible for the “genocide” there were brought to justice.

War crimes push aimed at ousting Sri Lanka government: official

A Western-led push for a war crimes probe into Sri Lanka's war to destroy the Tamil Tigers is motivated by a "hidden agenda" to oust President Mahinda Rajapaksa's government, the island nation's defense secretary said on Thursday.

Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the architect of Sri Lanka's destruction of the separatist Tamil Tigers in 2009 and the president's younger brother, also expressed frustration that post-war rehabilitation efforts were being ignored.

Sri Lanka's military crushed the Tamil Tigers to decisively end one of Asia's longest-running modern wars in May 2009, but since the waning months of the conflict the government has been under increasing pressure over accusations of civilian deaths.

What US Businesses Must Consider in Sri Lanka

The Sri Lankan government is in hot pursuit of US businesses, seeking to usher in more investment dollars to help rebuild the country following the end of the civil war two years ago. Jobs that help to grow the economy and benefit all Sri Lankans are welcome. But companies are on notice that the Sri Lanka government is following ethnically discriminatory policies, and those that favor only certain segments of the population -- wittingly or not -- are compounding the ethnic divides that caused the 26-year war in the first place.

US Urged to Deny Sri Lanka President Entry

Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) citing § 212(a)(3)(E)(ii) and § 212(a)(3)(E)(iii) of the US Immigration and Nationality Act appealed to the United States Government to not to allow Sri Lanka President Mahinda Rajapakse to visit the United States for committing torture, war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against the Tamil people.

The appeal also cites an earlier incident in 1987, when United States denied entry to Kurt Waldheim to attend the United Nations on the ground that he participated in Nazi sponsored persecution. Waldheim, who was elected president of Austria in 1986, had staunchly denied any wrong doing.

Turning the screw

Sri Lanka's government under pressure

THE United States is not in the business of threatening its friends, said Robert O. Blake, US assistant secretary of state, in Colombo on September 14th. But, he added, smiling placidly, there will be pressure. If a domestic commission appointed by Mahinda Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka’s president, does not provide credible answers to allegations of war crimes committed by the military, demands for “some sort of alternative mechanism” will mount.

Fears for British Tamil held for four years in Sri Lanka

Relatives and charity say Viswalingam Gopithas has suffered a stroke and is being held without charge under terror legislation

The British government and a legal charity have expressed concerns about the plight of an ill British Tamil who has been held in Sri Lanka for almost four-and-a-half years without charge or trial under controversial anti-terror legislation.

Viswalingam Gopithas, a father of two from south London, was arrested in Colombo in April 2007 on suspicion of seeking to provide support to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
