Will implement LLRC, says Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has informed the South African government of its plans to implement the recommendations of the government-appointed war panel.

Foreign Minister GL Peiris' pledge in Pretoria comes as Sri Lanka government is trying hard to avoid a US-sponsored resolution seeking the implementation of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission being passed in Geneva.

Minister Peiris has told South Africa's Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, that Sri Lanka plans to implement the LLRC recommendations on human rights, and post-conflict reconstruction and nation-building.

Ms Maite Nkoana-Mashabane, for its part, has stressed the need for a peaceful and sustainable political solution.

Office of the Deputy Foreign Minster Marius L Fransman,

Republic of South Africa

Dear Honourable Deputy Foreign Minister,

As a Tamil, I am grateful that South Africa had once again urged ri Lankan government to act decisively with regard to inclusive governance and ongoing investigations on accountability, during your discussion with the visting Sri Lankan foreign minister Mr. G. L. Peiris. Today we have a historic opportunity to find a solution for the six decades old national conflict, but it requires external support. Particularly, the LLRC report needs to achieve the followings, perhaps with the support of UN:

1. demilitarize the Tamil areas of Sri Lanka

2. disarm paramilitary forces in traditional Tamil homeland

3. implement impartial land dispute resolution mechanisms

4. promote and protect the right of freedom of expression for all

5. investigate widespread allegations of extra judicial killings and enforced disappearances

6. re-evaluate detention policies

7. strengthen formerly independent civil institutions

8. enact rule of law reforms, and

9. reach a political settlement involving devolution of power to the provinces

Let us support the proposal presented by USA and work with Sri Lanka to achieve the common good.

Thank you very much for your kind attention.

Respectfully,

---------------

Tamils Welcome the Proposed US Resolution on Sri Lanka

Joint Statement by British Tamils Forum (BTF), Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC), Tamil Youth Organisation UK (TYO UK) and US Tamil Political Action Council(USTPAC)

March 7th, 2012 - Geneva, Switzerland

We welcome the proposed resolution by the Government of the United States of America at the 19th Session of the UN Human Rights Council towards holding all parties to the conflict accountable during the last phases of the war in Sri Lanka. The resolution offers a glimpse of hope for those affected by the conflict and sets in motion appropriate steps that could assist in long term peace and reconciliation in post-war Sri Lanka.

Three years after the end of the bloody civil war, Sri Lanka has failed to establish the necessary preconditions for reconciliation to occur. While the government appointed Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) has been held out as the cornerstone of Sri Lanka’s accountability and reconciliation strategy, it falls short in addressing critical issues of accountability. Sri Lanka has been given the appropriate time and space to offer a path towards peace and reconciliation, but has failed to do so.

Whilst we have serious concerns regarding the independence of the LLRC and its failure to address the credible allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity, the implementation of the LLRC’s constructive recommendations, as detailed within the tabled resolution and in accordance with the specified timelines, would be a step in the right direction.

The members of the Human Rights Council should seize this opportunity and contribute towards building on the proposed resolution by incorporating the implementation of the Secretary General’s Panel of Expert report into the draft text. British Tamils Forum, Canadian Tamil Congress, Tamil Youth Organisation UK and US Tamil Political Action Council will continue to engage with the international community to ensure that long term peace and stability is attained on the island of Sri Lanka.
