  • Navi Pillai, What do USA and EU do in Libya? Please make notes in your UNHRC agenda for Libyan masacre by USA and EU. During last stage of Sri Lanka war against most rulthless terrorist group LTTE (proscribed in USA, EU and many other countries), EU,USA, UN and UNHRC criticised Sri Lanka. You condemned GOSL for civillian casualites killed in targeted air attacks on LTTE. You brought resolutions in UNHRC and UN Security council against GOSL. We look forward to see UNHRC investigations into Libya.

  • Jan 15 (Diplomat) pushing Sri Lanka toward China. That old habits die hard is clear from the way in which the European Union has been seeking to corner Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa for daring to defeat the LTTE, rather than heeding their advice to call a ceasefire when the army had overrun the last sliver of territory controlled by the LTTE. With each advance the army made in early 2009, the demands for a ceasefire grew more strident.

  • superb

  • Is there anyone else out there to tell UN clearer and more convincing than Dr. Dayan that war crimes investigations in Sri Lanka is unfair and not necessary? Please let this be heard by UN SG Ban Ki-moon over and over. Do not let tarnish the credibility of UN by appointing a UN war crime panel against the will of Sri Lanka and without a mandate of UN security council, UN General Assembly and UNHRC. Question is what is UN? UN means Europe? or UN means USA?

  • Non Aligned Movement (NAM) nations are preparing to challenge UN SG Ban Ki-moon over his appointment of a 3-member panel to advise him on accountability issues during the final stages of war against LTTE. The UN move is a precursor to an imminent war crimes inquiry against troops and LTTE. The 118-member NAM has expressed “serious concern” about the appointment of the panel “against the clearly expressed wishes of the country concerned, and without any mandate from the HRC, SC or the Genl Ass”.

  • Mr. Ban also plans to appoint a similar international panel to investigate charges of war crimes against Israel over the May 31 attack on a flotilla of ships carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza. But the proposed panel to investigate Israel was authorised by the Security Council while the panel on Sri Lanka was not. A similar NAM letter of protest was sent to Mr. Ban last March, warning him against the appointment of the proposed panel on Sri Lanka. After UN response NAM backed down to avoid confUN

  • (Island 5May)UN should have intervened under R2P in Lanka war says Oxford Chancellor. Lord Patten, currently Chancellor of Oxford University, makes a startling reference to Sri Lanka, asserting that the UN should have intervened politically and diplomatically under the doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) "to protect Tamil civilians in the Sri Lankan government campaign to wipe out the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam". by Dayan Jayatilleka

  • DM:Friday, 05 March 2010:

    The government today rejected a fresh call by UN Human Rights Chief Navi Pillay for an investigation into alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka, saying that Pillay should respect the decision made by the inter-governmental UN Human Rights Council last year. Pillay said yesterday I am convinced that Sri Lanka should undertake a full reckoning of the grave violations committed by all sides during the war, and that the international community can be helpful in this regard"

  • 29 January 2010 1801HRS. The European Union (EU) says the large turn out at the recent Presidential elections in Sri Lanka demonstrates the wish of the Sri Lankan people to participate fully in the democratic process.

    EU High Representative/ Vice President Baroness Catherine Ashton, in a statement, however reiterated concerns that a significant number of incidents occurred during the election campaign.

  • Fucking OWNAGE! SAULTATIONS AND UTMOST RESPECT FOR YOU, SIR!

  • You are right up there next to the war heroes !

    Bloody Solid stuff ! This man should be more involved with the running of Srilanka and should get rid of Bull-agama!

  • Access into Sri Lankan relief camps improves: UN. - 13 Jun 2009, 0903 hrs IST, PTI. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon told reporters Thursday that the Sri Lankan Government has addressed some concerns he raised during his recent visit to the country over humanitarian access to the camps.

  • awesome stuff... WE will not do it and we will nto anyone else do it...war is over.... time to reconcile...

  • Bada yanna dunna.. ela ela sir!

  • hahahahaha owned!! Nice job Dr. Jayatilleka.

  • He makes a forceful and coherent argument about the sovereign nature of conflict resolution in a post civil war situation. But heres the problem - repeated calls for national commissions were made by Sri Lankans who wanted to see the end of impunity in our country after the following human rights violations (that at least I know of during my life time): 1) after the elimination of an entire generation of intelligentsia by GOSL during the 1970s JVP insurrection;

  • Comment removed

  • This is our (Sri Lankans) human rights that we are talking about that only we can hold accountable those who violate them. Its all well and good the intellectual dismissals but let see this backed by national actions to bring to justice those who violate OUR human rights.

  • He is so full with info and so pointfull. Cheers!!

  • Part 1:

    Indain delegation criticized Terror Diplomat Navi Pillai at UNHRC:

    It would be extremely unfortunate, if the inter-governmental decisions adopted by the human rights council, were to be ignored or set aside, and the High Commissioner and/or her office were to misinterpret them or willfully neglect them, or supersede them according to their convenience or in accordance with the agenda of some states, or unrepresentative or unaccountable organizations, or to pursue their own agenda.

  • Part 2:

    Indain delegation  criticized Terrorist Diplomat Navi Pillai at UNHRC, Geneva:

    In this regard, we would like to remind all concerned, that the independence of the High Commissioner cannot be presumed to exceed that of the UN Secretary General.
