A UN member state is being accused of committing war crimes, crimes against humanity & even ‘genocide’.Sri Lanka has been the victim of an annual witch hunt sponsored by blood-money for 12 years.
All of these allegations has credibility if and only if they can prove Sri Lanka intentionally killed 40,000 and the deaths are disproportionate to the military advantage legally accepted in a non-international armed conflict.Sri Lanka has given Geneva 12 years to come out with the basic requirement of 40,000 dead names. They have failed.
Sri Lanka must now refuse to respond to any of the non-conflict related questions being askedfor these are traps riding on the bogey of ‘accountability & truth’. If it is accountability Sri Lanka must demand where was the UN and its apparatus for all the victims of LTTE. If its truth, Sri Lanka must take UNHRC back to the conflict & demand answers for the initial allegation of 40,000 or more dead.
