US RESOLUTION HYPOCRITICAL HOWEVER THE TAMIL MINORITY IN SRI LANKA VICTIMS OF CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY, WAR CRIMES AND SERIOUS HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES FOR DECADES

 Dear Colleagues ,

        

 Whereas the Resolution proposed by the USA in the UN Human Rights Council is hypocritical ,as it was the ' Washington Consensus ' on financial and economic policy adopted by Sri Lanka under the aegis of the World Bank and IMF  which made the Sri Lankan elite and ruling classes victimize the Tamil minority even further ,plunging the island in a civil conflict lasting decades in which the Tamil minorities of Sri Lanka were the worst sufferers; the government of India has to raise the issue of the abuses inflicted on the Tamil minority brutally deprived of their human and constitutional rights , with Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes committed against them during the brutal civil war inflicted on Sri Lanka by  financial and corporate interests in alliance with the Sri Lankan ruling elite .

 

  The issue is not the LTTE which was as much a problem for the Tamils of Sri Lanka as the government of Sri Lanka , the issue is the complete deprivation of the rights of the Tamil people .Scores of International Conventions were violated during the brutal civil war which ended in an armed conflict . Both the Sri Lankan forces and the LTTE at one time were trained in Israel .

 

The policy of using minorities as the scapegoat of the economic and political policies of the ruling elite in South Asia has to cease . We have witnessed this in several countries in South Asia , the divide and rule policy to better serve the interests of FDI and comprador interests in an alliance including in India , Pakistan and earlier Bangladesh .

 

The US Resolution pays lip service , however the Government of India has to independently and separately raise the issue .There is no such thing as amnesty for the brutal crimes which have taken place during the civil war , which included the killings of those Sinhalese who stood for justice for the Tamils and unity going beyond ethnic and religious differences .

 

 What we must  demand  is justice for the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka

US routinely overlooks its own human rights violations around the world in Iraq , Afghanistan , by Israel & misuses UN to the hilt  . It gets 10x more from the UN than it pays . UN HQ need to be moved to some poor county in Africa . 

The film  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Whistleblower exposed how US forces were engaged in violation of human rights &  looting the UN . UN is a tool of US & Co to get legal cover for their crimes. 

US & West had nothing to say when Tamils were being discriminated ,  we need to ensure justice  for Tamils and keep US out of it.
