The international community has at long last begin to show its frustrations over the human rights violations on such alarming scale committed by the government. These violations and the crimes have been highlighted over and over again by the press, the mass media and the people affected but it took so long for the international community to realise the wrong doings of the government. It has now become more evident the government is not interested in peace efforts as it has found out that keeping up the military agenda on going is an easy way to eradicate the tamil population (ethnic cleansing) and plunder their wealth and at the same time appease the singhalese. The military option also gives them a free hand to go on a defence spending spree where the leaders and their cronies make millions by way of commissions. The motion against Sri Lanka for its human rights violations must have been brought up long ago to the UN Human Rights Council and by now firm action should have followed. The donor countries must also realise that under the Srilankan leadership, the financial and other aids packages, the tsunami relief funds intended for the affected have failed to reach the affected tamils. Is it not proper for these countries aiding Srilanka to also see that the people in the north and east have their rights to reshape their destiny in their homeland. - Jay Wed, 09 May 2007 10:29:27 +0100 http://www.sibernews.com/news/featured-article/-200705088467/#pc_5875 At long last, the truth is being seen in its true form as events taking place. The international community is starting to see the reality of the ground situation in Srilanka and voicing their concerns on the crimes being committed by the military upon the people much to the dislike of the Srilankan government. It is not that they were not aware of the situation earlier, but pretended not to turn a blind eye for whater their reasons. With crimes and attrocities unleashed by the GoSL at such alarming rate, the government's propagandas are too hard to swallow. The international community could not stomach it any further. Enough is enough. The international community therefore is fully committed to ensure human rights in the country are respected. The recent developments making headlines are: - US to tell Srilanka to rein in the paramilitaries - Srilanka accountable for human rights violations by Dy Solicitor General - Srilanka - People must rally to fight against military rule - University Deans & Vice-Chancellor protest against harassment by SLA - Government is opposing British moves to bring about a just solution The Srilankan government realizing that the tide is changing against them, openly declared that they will not honour agreements they make. Doesn't all these must prove something to the international community and the world as to who is standing in the way of justice and fairplay. Now with all hands put the blame totally on them, can the Srilankan government be expected to provide an amicable just solution. - Jay Wed, 09 May 2007 04:49:57 +0100
