Talk of human rights only in the war-front or with respect to suicidal attacks? What about the break-down of law and order in other arenas of day-to-day life? Human rights, in my opinion, should be tackled from the grass-root level in order to think of the bigger picture. The administrative set-up of Sri Lanka blatantly violates all norms in this respect – mainly because inefficient, corrupt and incompetent administrators and executives are appointed to responsible positions. Most of them resort to discrimination only to hide their deficiencies. This leads to a heavy polarization and disenchantment and revulsion. This should be corrected in the first place. A fat hope indeed!

She must have been living in the clouds all these years, how long have these animals been killing innocent politicians, thirty years now. They will kill 30 civilians without blinking to have one chance at silencing a strong wise pathetic, bring them to justice or let them explain their actions to the maker, karma will avenge Jeyaraj and the Sri lankan people.

Why UN High Commissioner delays in sending a War Crimes Investgators team to Sri Lanka?

These types of statements will help no one.

Hundreds of thousands of Tamils were bombed, raped, tortured and killed, what the UN has done to date?

Yes, it is a crime against international law.

It is not a crime to bomb 80 tamil girls in th ophanage or rape and kill tamil girls in Jaffna. This is simply because Tamils are not human. Therefore killing tamils or raping is not even a petty crime,

But to kill a minister of sinhala racist regime is a terrriblr terrible crime!

When will the Tamils learn these truths

Dominic, it is clear that in the eyes of the world Tamils are not humans and hence have no human rights. That is whay the world is not just standing by but actively aiding their genocide.

The death of Jeyaraj Fernandopulle is sad.

Every citizen should aspire to have justice, fairness, human rights, harmony, equitable treatment and peace.

When policies are forged by any state, based on injustice, unfairness, violation of human rights and unequal treatment of citizens, what could one expect? One “reaps what he sows”.

When war talk and fighting talk against Tamils continue to exist and inflamatory inciting statements and actions come from a government, attitudes will harden. Then what should one expect?

When churches are destroyed by the soldiers from the government What could one expect?

I agree with Louise Arbour that non combatants and civilians should be left unharmed.

Why is the government still defiant, arrogant and stubborn about not allowing the UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission to be in Sri Lanka?

Jeyaraj Fernandopulle is a Tamil. The government always uses and puts Tamils in danger. This is not at all giving dignity to Tamils. It is abusing Tamils to get support for the defiant and arrogant attitude of the government against the Tamil nation. Such action causes anger in Tamil nation which is facing repression from the state. This abuse should stop immediately.

LOL

Since when is the ‘right to life’ a ‘human right?’

Methinks, Louise Arbour is trying too hard to be liked.

Did She condemn TNA MP Sivenesan’s assassination by
Sri Lankan DPU ?

I wonder whether Sinhalas will still call her a Terrorist!
