Richard Dawkins, popular writer and Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University, addressed a full house on Friday, January 20, at the Galle Literary Festival. Nearly 800 people attended the programme with many having to stand or sit on the floor in order to hear Dawkin’s talk about his latest book, ‘The Magic of Reality’. Here, a man is seen browsing through Dawkin’s book, ‘A Devil’s Chaplain’, a few minutes before Dawkins graced the stage.

we must now get the support of Islamic countries of NAM and Commonwealth for UNHRC - we must write to them asap.

Islamic missionaries ordered to leave

He said the main purpose of this group was to visit underprivileged local Muslims and further propagate the Islamic faith. “They have been visiting Sri Lanka from time to time and their presence has been well known,” he added. Mr. Moulana said he was not aware of the reason for the cancellation of their visas but added that it might be for security reasons.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa has assigned several key Cabinet Ministers to visit UN Human Rights Council member states and garner their support ahead of the UNHRC session scheduled for March.

Under this new plan, a delegation led by Public Administration Minister John Seneviratne will visit Chile and Uruguay, two South American countries. At the same time, Cabinet Spokesman and Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella will also lead a delegation to another group of UNHRC member states.

Foreign Minister Prof. G.L. Pieris, who is presently in New Delhi, will be visiting Africa on 29 January. A senior official of the Foreign Ministry told Ceylon Today that Pieris will visit two African countries during the visit. Foreign Employment Minister Dilan Perera, according to government sources, will also be assigned to lead a delegation.

Meanwhile, President Mahinda Rajapakse himself will visit Singapore and Myanmar before the UNHRC session in March. Although he was scheduled to visit Pakistan early next month, a senior government spokesman said, the visit is not confirmed yet.

During these visits, the high profile Sri Lankan delegations will brief the UNHRC member nations on the implementation process of the LLRC report and the ongoing reconciliation process in Sri Lanka, a senior government spokesman told Ceylon Today.

The Sri Lankan delegations are also tasked to counter the “Channel 4 allegations”, during their bi-lateral discussions with foreign counterparts.

Subject: Last reminder for our appeal

To: srilankacampaign@lists.srilankacampaign.org

Dear friends,

We don't want to flood your inbox so this will be the last reminder about our appeal for a while - but it will continue to run so please keep giving and keep telling your friends.

Click here to go to the appeal site

Here's what a member of the public said about our appeal in a letter to his friends:

FY urgent consideration.

As it is, only Canada has exerted maximum pressure to call for an international probe despite of the minuscule merits of the sham LLRC report.

Canada must have been influenced by the first hand witness statement of a Tamil who was tortured and the presentation of its finding by the AI to the Canadian government.

'SL Campaign for peace and justice' has now ventured in a similar project to get witness statement. Getting witness statement is a delicate operation with witness-protection for personal security reasons.

It must be difficult to response to any appeal just after Christmas, This appeal is urgent in view of the imminent UNHRC session in March 2012.

SL is storming hell and heaven to save their skin from possible international probe which is the only way to get at the truth of

how about 40,000 or more perished in the war from 2006-2009.

It is wishful thinking that SL will ever indict themselves for war crimes as mounting evidence seems to suggest.

The Spanish Language Diario La Tarde, an evening journal published by independent journalists in West Argentina said the recent web publication of the story "Genocidio: (Primera entrega) - La masacre de los Tamils en Sri Lanka," [Genocide: (First Delivery) The Slaughter of Tamils in Sri Lanka] drew 22 million visits in two days. The story appearing in Spanish covers history to the conflict, the slaughter at Mu'l'livaaykkaal, and asserts the post-conflict miliary aggression in Tamil areas as a form of structural genocide

A.

New Directions in Genocide Research, Edited by Adam Jones(December 2011): Cases analyzed include genocide in North America, the Nazi Holocaust, the Armenian genocide, and the Sri Lankan genocide.

Uses of genocide: Kenya, Georgia, Israel, Sri Lanka, Martin Shaw, 9-02-2009 -http://www.martinfrost.ws/htmlfiles/feb2009/genocide-uses.html

Sri Lanka -camps, media…genocide? www.opendemocracy.net, Martin Shaw, 30 June 2009

9 December 2009 - The Genocide Prevention Project includes Sri Lanka on its ‘red alert’ watch list of the countries of most concern for genocide.

Briefing UN Security Council on the humanitarian situation in Sri Lanka John Holmes, Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, 26 March 2009:

''We believe that on average several dozens of people have been killed everyday in February and March, and inevitably larger numbers injured, with many of these casualties occurring in the ‘no-fire zone’.''

Professor Sornarajah, Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto, 24 March 2009: "Every indicia of genocide is satisfied by the conduct of successive Sri Lankan governments, ...''

Professor Francis Boyle(who single-handedly won two World Court Orders in 1993 on the basis of the 1948 Genocide Convention that were overwhelmingly in favour of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina against Yugoslavia to cease and desist from committing all acts of genocide against the Bosnians) of Illinois College of Law: a. 3 February 2009: “It is the culmination of the long-standing GOSL policy to inflict genocide upon the Tamils in violation of the 1948 Genocide Convention, to which Sri Lanka is a contracting party. As a United States Citizen Defense Secretary Rajapakse should be prosecuted by the United States government for violating the US Genocide Convention Implementation Act and the US War Crimes Act.” b. 11 March 2009: ''Any one or more of the 140 state parties to the Genocide Convention must immediately sue Sri Lanka at the International Court of Justice in The Hague''.

Dominic Chilcott, British High Commissioner to Sri Lanka, Dudley Senanayake Lecture, December 2007:

"..I dont think we (Britain) will ever regard genocide wherever it occurs as not our business. The excuse that the fate of other people (Tamils) who are facing genocide or humanitarian catastrophe is not our business will not run"

In Prevention of Genocide(1985) Leo Kuper, referring to the pogrom of July 1983, wrote "There were also political currents observable in the alignment of members, though I could not altogether fathom the geo political considerations involved. In the end a very mild resolution was passed calling for information from the Sri Lanka government and recommending that the commission examine the situation at the next meeting in the light of the information available. There was, however, only a bare majority for the resolution (10for, 8against and 4abstaining). It is unfortunate that the United Nations did not take a firm stand at this stage.''

Democracy in Peril: Sri Lanka a Country in Crisis, Report to Law Asia Human Rights Standing Committee, June 1985: “There was a general consensus that within Sri Lanka today the Tamils do not have the protection of the rule of law, ....''

Review, International Commission of Jurists, December 1983: " .... The evidence points clearly to the conclusion that the violence of the Sinhala rioters on the Tamils amounted to Acts of Genocide".

Virginia Leary: Ethnic Conflict and Violence in Sri Lanka - Report of International Commission of Jurists 1981: "... The fate of the Tamils in Sri Lanka remains a matter of international concern''.

B.

No war, no peace: the denial of minority rights and justice in Sri Lanka, Report by Minority Rights Group International, 19 January 2011: ''The UN Independent Expert on Minority Issues should be granted an invitation by the government to visit the country in order to report to the United Nations Human Rights Council on the situation of minorities in Sri Lanka.’’

(UN Special Rapporteurs for i. Extrajudicial Killings, ii. Enforced Disappearances and iii. Freedom of Opinion and Expression have also been waiting for years to visit Sri Lanka.)

Sri Lanka: Women’s Insecurity in the North and East, Asia Report N°217, International Crisis Group, 20 Dec 2011:

‘'Women in Sri Lanka’s predominantly Tamil-speaking north and east are facing a desperate lack of security in the aftermath of the long civil war. Today many still live in fear of violence from various sources ....''

The Sri Lankan government in the past year failed to advance justice and accountability for the victims of the country’s 26-year-long civil conflict''

Please consider writing to your parliamentarians (for the UK writetothem.com)

(There may be a debate on Sri Lanka in the house of commons soon)

Kerry McCarthy (Bristol East, Labour MP)

I shall just mention one of the countries specifically dealt with in the report, because the issues surrounding it are very much current. My hon. Friend Mike Gapes talked about Sri Lanka. We have recently had the report published by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission. I hope that, at some point over the next few weeks, we will find time for a full debate on that in the House, because there are many question marks over the report, in relation to the terms of reference of the commission and its recommendations. I know that I am asking the Minister

a lot of questions, but it would be helpful if he could he say whether there will be an opportunity for further debate on that, because there was only a written statement from the Government.

Finally, I would like to raise the decision to exclude countries not eligible for overseas development assistance from the human rights and democracy programmes. That runs the risk of excluding countries that could benefit from human rights projects. The Westminster Foundation for Democracy is concerned that such an approach will limit the choice of which countries it works with. Will the Minister update us on that and clarify the support available to countries that are not eligible for overseas development assistance? What assessment is being made in the Department of the impact of that decision?

http://www.theyworkf...ri+lanka#g185.0

Mike Gapes (Ilford South, Labour MP)

Finally, I want to raise the more substantive problem of Sri Lanka. We as a Committee made some firm recommendations in which we commended Channel 4 for its documentary “Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields”, which showed the horrific scenes of the crimes carried out in the early part of 2009, at the end of the awful Sri Lankan civil war, between the Tamil Tigers and the forces of the Sri Lankan Government, both of whom carried out appalling human rights abuses.

We reaffirmed our view that an independent international war crimes inquiry should be held to investigate the allegations of atrocities carried out by both sides. The Government said in their response that they would await the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission set up by the Sri Lankan Government. As many of us predicted, that commission did not carry out the kind of investigation or produce the kind of report necessary to deal with the issues adequately.

The report was published towards the end of last year. The Government have now commented on it, as have numerous other countries. The British Government said that, on the whole, they are disappointed by the report’s findings and recommendations, and that there are gaps and unanswered questions. The US Administration expressed concerns that the report does not fully address the allegations of serious human rights violations. The Canadians have also been critical, and India has called for an independent and credible mechanism to investigate the issues.

It is time to return to the Human Rights Council to push the issue up the agenda again. I know that last time there was a blockage, the HRC, disgracefully, commended the Sri Lankan Government on their behaviour and refused to hold an international inquiry. I know that it would be difficult to take the Security Council route, because China and probably Russia would block it and the non-permanent members, including India, probably would not be supportive either, as they were last time.

Interestingly, last time, among the opposing countries in the HRC was Mubarak’s Egypt. Things have moved on since then. Maybe, given developments in the Arab world, it might be time for us to go back and see whether there is now more international support to raise the issues again in order to get a UN inquiry. Ban Ki-moon clearly tried to push for one. He went as far on the issue as he could as Secretary-General, because he could not get the institutions to go with him. He set up a United Nations panel of experts, who said that the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission

“fails to satisfy key international standards of independence and impartiality, as it is compromised by its composition and deep-seated conflicts of interest of some of its members.”

That is clear. The Sri Lankan Government must understand that setting up an internal process that does not have the confidence of the international community or the Tamil population will not lead to the necessary reconciliation within the country. People are still in detention or are not being allowed to go back to their homes. There are issues involving settlement and what is regarded as an attempt to change the demographics in the north of the island, and there are serious concerns about individual human rights abuses in Sri Lanka. The Government are all-powerful, the constitution gives the President great control and the Opposition—not just the Tamil Opposition but others—are intimidated or inhibited in many ways from doing what is needed internally. They need international support and solidarity. That is why it is important that the British Government speak out loudly, clearly and unambiguously, using whatever channels they can—the UN, the HRC and the Commonwealth—to raise those issues continuously.

இலங்கைக்கான உத்தியோகபூர்வ விஜயம் ஒன்றை மேற்கொண்டு அடுத்த வாரம் கொழும்புக்கு விஜயம் செய்யவுள்ள அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதி பராக் ஒபாமாவின் போர்க்குற்ற விவகாரங்களுக்கான விஷேட தூதுவர் ஸ்டிபன் ரப் (Stephen Rapp) சிறிலங்கா ஜனாதிபதி மகிந்த ராஜபக்சவைச் சந்தித்து பேச்சுவாதத்த்தை நடத்தவுள்ளதாக அறிவிக்கப்படடுள்ளது.

போர்க்குற்ற விவகாரங்கள் தொடர்பாக தகவல்களைச் சேகரித்து ஒழுங்கமைத்து வழக்குகளைத் தாக்கல் செய்வதற்குப் பொறுப்பான அதிகாரியாக இவர் பணியாற்றுவதால் ஸ்டிபன் ரப்பின் விஜயத்தையிட்டு கொழும்பு கலக்கத்தில் இருப்பதாக இராஜதந்திர வட்டாரங்கள் தெரிவித்தன. இவரை எவ்வாறு கையாள்வது என்பது தொடர்பில் சிறிலங்காவின் வெளிவிவகார அமைச்சு உபாயம் வகுத்து வருவதாகவும் செய்திகள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

ஐக்கிய நாடுகள் சபை மனிதவுரிமைகள் ஆணைக்குழுவின் கூட்டத் தொடர் அடுத்த மாத இறுதியில் நடைபெறவுள்ள நிலையில் ஸ்டிபன் ரப் இலங்கைக்கான விஜயத்தை மேற்கொள்வது உள்நோக்கத்துடனானதாக இருக்கலாம் என கொழும்பு கருதுவதாகவும் தெரிகின்றது. இதன் அடிப்படையில் அவரது விஜயத்தின் போது பேசப்படவேண்டிய விடயங்கள் தொடர்பிலான தயாரிப்புக்களில் சிறிலங்கா வெளிவிவகார அமைச்சின் அதிகாரிகள் குழு மேற்கொண்டு வருகின்றது.

ஸ்டிபன் ரப் எதிர்வரும் 05ஆம் திகதி திங்கட்கிழமை இலங்கைக்கு விஜயம் செய்வார் என கொழும்பிலுள்ள அமெரிக்க தூதரக அதிகாரி ஒருவர் தெரிவித்துள்ளார். ஆயினும், அவரது விஜயம் தொடர்பிலான நிகழ்ச்சி நிரல் இப்போதுதான் தயாரிக்கப்பட்டு வருவதாகவும் அவர் கூறியுள்ளார்.

சிறிலங்காவின் ஜனாதிபதி மகிந்த ராஜபக்ச உட்பட முக்கிய அரசாங்கத் தலைவர்களையும், எதிர்க்கட்சி உறுப்பினர்கள் மற்றும் குடியியல் சமூகத்தைச் சேர்ந்தவர்கள் பலரையும் ஸ்டிபன் ரப் சந்திப்பார் எனத் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டுள்ள போதிலும், சிறிலங்கா வெளிவிவகார அமைச்சு வட்டாரங்கள் இச்செய்தியை இதுவரை உறுதிப்படுத்தவில்லை.

அத்துடன், சிறிலங்கா அரசாங்கத்தினால் நியமிக்கப்பட்ட உண்மைகளைக் கண்டறிவதற்கான நல்லிணக்க ஆணைக்குழுவின் அறிக்கை தொடர்பாக இவர் முக்கிய கவனத்தைச் செலுத்துவார் எனவும் செய்திகள் தெரிவிக்கின்றன.

அதேவேளை, ஸ்டிபன் ரப்பின் இந்த விஜயத்தை எவ்வாறு அணுகுவது மற்றும் அவரின் இந்த விஜயத்தின் போது எழுப்பப்படும் கேள்விகளுக்கு எவ்வாறு பதிலளிப்பது என்பது தொடர்பில் தமது உபாயங்களை வகுத்துக் கொள்வது குறித்து சிறிலங்கா அதிகாரிகள் தீவிரமாக ஈடுபட்டுள்ளதாக இராஜதந்திர வட்டாரங்கள் தெரிவித்தன.

அமெரிக்க ஜனாதிபதியின் போர்க்குற்ற விவகாரங்களுக்கான தூதுவராகப் பணியாற்றும் ஸ்டிபன் ரப், 2007ஆம் ஆண்டு ஜனவரியில் சியரா லியோனுக்கான (Sierra Leone) விஷேட நீதிமன்றத்தில் வழக்குத் தொடுநராகப் பணிபுரிந்தவர் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

சியரா லியோனில் இடம்பெற்ற உள்நாட்டுப் போரில் பெருமளவு கொடூரங்களுக்குப் பொறுப்பானவர் என லைபீரியாவின் முன்னாள் ஜனாதிபதி சார்ள்ஸ் ரெயிலர் மற்றும் ஏனையவர்கள் மீது வழங்குத் தாக்கல் செய்யப்படுவதற்கு இவரே பொறுப்பாக இருந்தார்.

ஜெனிவாவில் மார்ச் மாதத்தில் நடைபெறவிருக்கும் ஐக்கிய நாடுகள் சபை மனித உரிமைகள் ஆணைக்குழுவின் கூட்டத் தொடருக்கு முன்னோடியாகவே இவரது விஜயம் இடம்பெறவிருக்கின்றது.

இந்தக் கூட்டத் தொடரில் உண்மைகளைக் கண்டறிவதற்கான நல்லிணக்க ஆணைக்குழுவின் அறிக்கையை சமர்ப்பிப்பதற்கு மறுத்திருக்கும் சிறிலங்கா அரசாங்கம், அதற்கு எதிராகக் கொண்டுவரக்கூடிய தீர்மானங்களை முறியடிப்பதற்கு ஏனைய நாடுகளின் ஆதரவையும் கோரிவருகின்றது.

இந்நிலையில், இந்த விஜயத்தின் போது நல்லிணக்க ஆணைக்குழுவின் அறிக்கையை அவர் விமர்சனத்துக்கு உள்ளாக்குவதுடன், இந்த விடயத்தில் சம்பந்தப்பட்டவர்களுடனும் அது தொடர்பாக பேச்சுக்களை முன்னெடுப்பார் என இராஜதந்திர வட்டாரங்கள் தெரிவித்தன.

தமிழீழ விடுதலைப் புலிகளுக்கும் சிறிலங்கா அரசாங்கத்துக்கும் இடையிலான போரின் இறுதிப் பகுதியில் இடம்பெற்ற போர்க்குற்றங்கள் தொடர்பில் சுயாதீனமான விசாரணைகள் முன்னெடுக்கப்பட வேண்டும் என சிறிலங்கா அரசாங்கத்தை அமெரிக்கா தொடர்ந்தும் வலியுறுத்தி வருகின்றது.

2009ஆம் ஆண்டு ஒக்டோபர் மாதத்தில் அமெரிக்க இராஜாங்கத் திணைக்களம் வெளியிட்ட அறிக்கை ஒன்றில், சட்டவிரோதமான கொலைகளில் சிறிலங்கா அரசாங்கம் சம்பந்தப்பட்டுள்ளதாகக் குற்றஞ்சாட்டப்பட்டிருந்தது. கைது செய்யப்பட்ட தமிழர்களை சிறிலங்கா அரசாங்கத்தின் படைகள் படுகொலை செய்வதை உறுதிப்படுத்தும் காணொளி நாடாக்கள் கிடைத்திருப்பதாகவும் இவ்வறிக்கையில் தெரிவிக்கப்பட்டிருந்தமை குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது.

Tamils await their peace dividend

For Tamils, the end of Sri Lanka’s civil war has brought no peace dividend; for Tamil women, peace has brought with it a continuation – and in some cases an intensification – of violence and insecurity. In the country’s predominantly Tamil-speaking north and east – a region half the size of Nova Scotia – tens of thousands of “war widows” have been living under the control of the central government and Sinhalese security forces since 2009 and the end of the civil war, whose last few months saw as many as 40,000 civilians killed.

The Fog of an Uncivil War in Sri Lanka

Here’s one representative sentence from the U.N. findings: “The Government systematically shelled hospitals on the frontlines.’’ And this sentence, which found that the Tigers “started point-blank shooting of civilians who attempted to escape the conflict zone.’’

It was that kind of war. More like murder.

Sri Lanka: UN Must Act at Next Human Rights Council Session

Accountability Still a Pipe Dream for Victims

February 2, 2012

The United Nations Human Rights Council should address the lack of accountability for wartime abuses in Sri Lanka during its March 2012 session, Human Rights Watch said in a letter to Human Rights Council (HRC) member countries and observers today. Nearly three years since the end of the war, the Sri Lankan government has not kept its commitments to its people, the UN secretary-general, and the HRC to undertake credible measures towards accountability.

“The Human Rights Council is uniquely positioned to ensure that the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of civilians in the last months of Sri Lanka’s conflict are properly investigated,” said Philippe Dam, acting Geneva advocacy director at Human Rights Watch. “The failure of the council to respond to one of the worst episodes of human rights abuse since its creation would only undermine its relevance.”

Kevin Rudd must up the ante on Sri Lanka

AS nations such as Canada and Britain weigh in on accountability for war crimes in Sri Lanka, it's time for Australia to add its voice. After all, promoting human rights is a crucial part of foreign policy, as Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd is keen to say.

A month ago the Sri Lankan government's Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission issued its long-awaited report. The commission was established by President Mahinda Rajapaksa in May 2010 to deflect mounting international pressure on accountability for alleged war crimes in the final months of the conflict with the separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.

The new thrust in Sri Lanka’s foreign policy, giving greater weight to relations with countries in the African continent and enhancing mutual benefit from this focus, is exceedingly welcome, said Prime Minister Philemon Yang of Cameroon when he met with Professor G.L.Peiris, Minister of External Affairs on Monday.

Minister Peiris, who was on a two day official visit to Cameroon , explained to the Prime Minister of Cameroon the eagerness of the Government to reorient the country’s diplomatic representation overseas so as to reflect emerging priorities. A wide range of shared values and largely overlapping approaches to current international issues underline the usefulness of this development, the visiting Minister said.

Prime Minister Philemon Yang expressed appreciation of Sri Lanka’s consistent positions which had been of value to Cameroon over the years.

Minister Peiris comprehensively briefed the Prime Minister about current issues in Sri Lanka after the eradication of terrorism. He explained in detail the contents of the Report of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission and the government’s initiatives with regard to systematic implementation. He was interviewed on national television in Cameroon.

Prof. Peiris also had discussions with Mr. John Ngute, Acting Foreign Minister of Cameroon, prior to his departure to Congo for a series of official meetings.

Sri Lanka - lets make sure this opportunity isn't wasted

Dear friends,

You might have seen that recently a few articles have come out suggesting that the international community will finally live up to its responsibilities and take Sri Lanka to task over its abysmal record on rights and accountability. [1]

In addition last week, prominent Buddhist intellectual Sulak Sivaraksa broke with decades of traditional silence to explain that a true Buddhist response to Sri Lanka would be to "acknowledge the crimes" and that "the Sri Lankan state needs a transformation" based upon truth and compassion. [2]

This is good news and a testament to the campaigning ability of people like you and organisations such as ours. But it is far too soon to congratulate ourselves - there is still no clarity over what is proposed or if it will be accepted, and the Government has already started whipping up hatred against its critics. [3]

Instead we need to ensure that we have the strength to take on our critics and win. Our strength is already measured in the tens of thousands, but if we each told a handful of friends it would reach into the hundreds of thousands.

Please take a few moments to tell your friends about our campaign.

If you are technologically confident you can do this in any number of ways: via twitter, via facebook, through reddit, through the little share buttons at the bottom of every page on our website, , through our "tell others" page, and by inviting your friends to our "act now" virtual event.

But anybody can tell their friends about us, just send them a quick message telling them to visit www.srilankacampaign.org and have a read around the site.

Please do take thirty seconds out of your day to tell a handful of your friends about the Sri Lanka Campaign. It could make all the difference.

All the best,

The Sri Lanka Campaign

Dear Sir,

Subject:-We agree with French President, Hon. Nicolas Sarkozy’s policy of “Bypassing the UN” to retain the “International Peace and Security, Justice and the Human Rights”.

The UN Charter imposes primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security upon the Security Council. But the Veto Powered Russia and China are the big stumbling blocks in the Security Council to maintain the international peace, justice and the human rights.

We agree with French President, Hon. Nicolas Sarkozy’s policy of “Bypassing the UN”. The situation in Syria is appalling and is getting worse. The revolt in Syria could easily spread to other Middle East Countries. Syria follows the path of Sri Lanka to kill her own people and plans to escape from the accountability under the slogan of internal affairs.

It may be short-sighted for the Assad regime, the Mahindha Rajapaksa regime and the Tehran regime to celebrate the Veto Power of Russia and China in the Security Council because of their vested interest and ties with these regimes. Arab countries see Iran as their most serious security threat. They hinted Israel may order a pre-emptive military strike on suspected nuclear targets in Iran if it concludes the sanctions are ineffective. Russia warns Israel and the West that an attack on Tehran would be considered an attack on Moscow.In this scenario Russia and China may come to bail out Iran by their usual practice of using the Veto Power.

Majority of the countries in the UN are the worst human rights violators and they are leading by Russia and China. Western Democratic countries and the international human rights organizations are powerless in the UN because of the majoritarianism legitimizes legislation and the increasingly bureaucratized functioning of the executive like the “spineless, charmless and most importantly, incapable” Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon.

The Economist and the Times of London called Ban out of for his and his personnel advisers like Mr. Nambiar’s miserable performance in Sri Lankan war against the minority Tamils, citing their lack of vision, leadership or policy prowess. Of course, Ban and his staff have aggressively tried to combat this emerging image. Mostly he prefers to keep war criminals by his side.

The UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly with its Secretary General are weak and incapable to protect the international peace and security, justice and the human rights. Therefore the western democratic countries should “Bypass the UN” and form a new organization to counter the rogue states threatening to the world's peace.

Thank you.

Yours Truly,

Edited by Queen

South African Government position on the Report of the Commission of Inquiry on Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation (LLRC) in Sri Lanka

The South African Government has noted the release of the final report of the Sri Lankan Commission of Inquiry on Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation (the Commission of Enquiry) and the positive recommendations contained in the report relating to human rights, the return and resettlement of displaced communities, restitution and compensatory relief for the affected people, and post-conflict reconstruction and nation-building.

The report, however, should have addressed in more detail the question of holding those people responsible for human rights violations to account.

The South African Government calls on the Sri Lankan Government to speedily implement the measures as recommended.
