At the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), EU Dictatorship was conquered by majority of 29 Nations around the Globe and supported Sri Lanka's victory against LTTE terrorism. Majority of international community endorsed as a victory for humanity, principles and values!

Introducing the draft resolution L.1-Rev.2 on the human rights situation in Sri Lanka his Excellency Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka:

Thank you Mr. President, Excellencies, distinguished delegates. Resolution L.1 Rev.2 is not a hurrah for Sri Lanka. It is a sober, considered document which I see as a bridge, a bridge between Sri Lanka and the world, and a bridge between Sri Lankas present and its future.
One can see just how carefully considered a text this is when you bear in mind that the original L.1 had seventeen paragraphs while Rev.2 has twenty nine. Why this expansion? And where did this expansion come from? Excellencies, the expansion in the text is a frank result of annexation, of incorporation, not in any aggressive manner but in the spirit of incorporating the concerns of all in this council, concerns that were in the Swiss text that was circulating and in a number of other texts that were presented to Sri Lanka. We have sought to represent the maximum possible consensus, we have sought to make this the highest not the lowest common denominator of the concerns of the council with regard to Sri Lanka. This is why we have the expanded version, which brought us from L.1 through Rev.1 to Rev.2.
I draw your attention, Excellencies, in particular, to Op. 10 which enshrines and embeds the entirety of the joint statement between the Secretary General of the United Nations, Ban Ki Moon, and the government of Sri Lanka. It reads, and I quote: Welcomes the visit to Sri Lanka of the Secretary General of the United Nations at the invitation extended by the President of Sri Lanka and endorses the joint communiqué issued at the conclusion of the visit, as well as the understandings contained therein.
I think there can be no more concrete a testimonial, Mr President, to the sincerity of Sri Lanka and the co-sponsors of this resolution, to the values we all share, universal human rights and to all the humanitarian concerns that were voiced during this discussion.
Mr President, I referred to the text as a bridge and we know that bridges have a weight that they can bear. Any weight that is put on them beyond a certain point will cause the spans to collapse, and Sri Lanka and its co-sponsors do not want to see that happen. We are ten days after the conclusion of a thirty year war

  • Here comes truth behind Unrestricted Access to IDP camps. GOSL has identified 6 foreign nationals, including Australians, among tens of thousands of war displaced civilians held in IDP camps in North East of Sri Lanka on 4th June2009. Three Australians and one each from Britain, the Netherlands and Norway over stayed 6months, , supported LTTE anti-sri lanka propaganda. a reason, why EU wanted unrestricted access to IDP camps to save these spies. GOSL should thoroughly investigate, trace calls.
