update: 17Jan 2012 (GV) How important is 13th amendment to Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka and to Sri Lanka? A Man for all political Seasons: Dr Dayan Jayatilleka. On first reading Dr Dayan Jayatilleka one is seduced not only by his prose but by the battery of great names he uses to support his arguments: Edward Galeano, Mao, Gramsci, Che, Nietzsche, Camus and Sartre (and the list does not end there). His political examples are drawn from Serbia, Rwanda, Burma, Pakistan and Mubarak's Egypt. He does not spare his opponents and their causes -- "Red fascists," he cries; others are deemed: "Orientalist Western critics and http://groundviews.org/2012/01/16/a-man-for-all-political-seasons-dr-dayan-ja...


Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka is an indispensable Firewall for Sri Lanka at international frontline. Sri Lanka is a disappointing place for moderate intelectuals like Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka because of political slavery and blunt politicos. An Icon has been ripped off. A patriot has been treated in a unpatriotic way. He demotion while others received double promotins. He defended Sri Lanka against unintended Human Rights violations, against anti-Sri Lanka propaganda in the international frontline. He lead and won UNHRC debate on war crime charges against Sri Lanka during last stage of war against LTTE terrorism, later he was sacked by the same government he defended. The war could continue untll end thanks to the work done by Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka and team at UNHRC. There was enormous pressure to Sri Lanka at last stage of war. He blocked all threats and gave opportunity for our soldiers to totally wipe out LTTE leadership.

Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka is a part of Sri Lankan victory against terrorism. What we now need is to reorganize the corrupted (political) system. Thank you Dr. Dayan, and Prof. Rajiva for the tremendous job at UNHRC in Geneva!

Dr. Dayans termination is a huge mistake and an embarrasment to Sri Lanka.

When right, keep it right. When wrong, make it right!

Recorded on 31st July 2009, this was the first interview on video given by Dayan Jayatilleka after he was asked to quit his position as Sri Lankas Permanent Representative to the UN in Geneva a few weeks ago. Going into the reasons behind his sudden sacking, the interview interrogates his most contentious submissions regarding the 13th Amendment, his take on the current Presidency and future prospects for peace in Sri Lanka, key memories of his sojourn in Geneva including the epic Human Rights Council sessions and other issues related to politics and democracy. I also ventured to ask some impertinent questions about his love life, given that for the duration of the interview, he was flanked by his wife Sanja.

Participants:
H. E. Dr. Dayan Jayatilleka, Sri Lankas Ambassador to the United Nations-Geneva (2007-2009)
