ஐ.நா.வின் மனித உரிமைக் கவுன்சிலில் தமிழர்களுக்கு கிடைக்கவேண்டிய நீதி மறுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. பன்னாட்டு நீதி விசாரணை ஏற்படுத்தப்பட்டு, புலனாய்வு செய்யப்பட்டால், நடந்தது தமிழ் இனப்படுகொலை என்பது மெய்ப்பிக்கப்படும். ஆனால், இந்த இனப்படுகொலை நடத்துவதற்கு இலங்கை அரசுக்கு உடந்தையாக ஆயுதங்கள் வழங்கி செயல்பட்ட இந்தியா உள்ளிட்ட நாடுகள் குற்றச்சாட்டுகளிலிருந்து தங்களை பாதுகாத்து கொள்வதற்காகவே இலங்கை அரசை வரிந்து கட்டிக்கொண்டு ஆதரித்தன.
01-10-2015 அன்று ஐ.நா மனித உரிமை ஆணையத்தில் நிறைவேற்றப்பட்ட தீர்மானத்தை தமிழர்கள் யாரும் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள மாட்டார்கள். ரணத்திலும் வேதனையிலும் தவிக்கும் ஈழத்தமிழர்களின் பாதுகாப்புக்கு என்ன செய்யப்போகிறோமோ?
உள்ளக விசாரணை என்று அமெரிக்கா சொல்வது பம்மாத்து வேலை. இராஜபக்ஷே இருந்தவரை சர்வதேச சுதந்திரமான விசாரணை என்று சொல்லிவிட்டு, ரணில் அமெரிக்காவின் ஆதரவாளர் என்பதால் அமெரிக்கா இலங்கையிலே விசாரணையினை மேற்கொள்ளலாம் என்று அந்தர்பல்டி அடித்துவிட்டது.
நீதி ஈழத்தமிழர்களுக்கு மறுக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது.உலக அளவில் உள்ள ஈழ ஆதரவாளர்கள் கொதித்தெழுந்துள்ளனர். நியாயங்கள் நிராயுதபாணியாகவும், உண்மைகள் உறங்குகின்றன. பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்கள் பாதிப்பிலேயே உள்ளனர். விடியல் எல்லை. ஈழத்தமிழருக்கு என்றுதான் வாழ்வுரிமை கிடைக்கப் போகின்றதோ என்று வேதனைப்படுகின்றோம்.
இந்தியாவின் பாதுகாப்பும், இந்துமகாசமுத்திரத்தின் அமைதித்தன்மையினை தக்கவைக்கவாவது ஈழத் தமிழர் பிரச்சனையில் குரல்கொடுக்கவேண்டும். ஆனால் இந்தியா யாரோக்கோ வந்த நிலை என்று பாராமுகமாக இருப்பதை வரலாறு மன்னிக்காது.
சர்வதேச சுந்தந்திரமான விசாரணை முழுமையாக நடத்தப்படவில்லை என்று ஈழத்தில் அபயக்குரல் தொடர்ந்து ஒலித்துக்கொண்டுதான் இருக்கும். ஈழ ஆதரவாளர்கள் ஒருபோதும் தங்களுடைய போர்க்குணத்தில் இருந்து தளர்ந்துவிட மாட்டார்கள் என்பதை ஆதிக்க சக்திகள் அறிந்துகொள்ள வேண்டும்.

Resolution sponsors, voters, UNHRC become accessories to SL genocide: Boyle
[TamilNet, Friday, 02 October 2015, 20:49 GMT]
Accusing that the sponsor states of the UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka, the States that voted for the Resolution, and the UN Human Rights Council itself have “all become Accessories after the Fact to Sri Lanka’s Genocide, Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes against the Eelam Tamils,” Professor Francis Boyle, an expert in international law and a professor at the College of Law, University of Illinois, said that the “Resolution calls for nothing more than the Genocidal Sri Lanka to set up a Domestic “Judicial” Mechanism dressed up with a transparent fig-leaf of international participation in order to cover-up and do damage control and damage limitation for the GOSL Genocide against the Eelam Tamils,” adding that “[h]istory teaches that this GOSL Domestic Mechanism will fail,” and “Genocide against Eelam Tamils will recur.”
Full text of Professor Boyle’s comment given to TamilNet follows:
“I am not going to comment upon and refute all the lies, propaganda, disinformation and half-truths set forth in this Resolution. You can read my book The Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka (Clarity Press: 2010) for my legal, political, and historical background analyses here. But in a nutshell the State Sponsors of this Resolution, those States that voted in favor of this Resolution, and the UN Human Rights Council itself have thereby all become Accessories after the Fact to Sri Lanka’s Genocide, Crimes against Humanity and War Crimes against the Eelam Tamils.
“Pursuant thereto, Operative Paragraph 6 of the Resolution calls for nothing more than the Genocidal Sri Lanka to set up a Domestic “Judicial” Mechanism dressed up with a transparent fig-leaf of international participation in order to cover-up and do damage control and damage limitation for the GOSL Genocide against the Eelam Tamils.
“Domestic Mechanisms do not work and cannot work within the context of genocide, crimes against humanity and massive war crimes: The Nazis against the Jews; the Serbs against the Bosnians; the Hutus against the Tutsis. All required International Criminal Tribunals to bring Justice to the Victims. The Tamil Genocide by Sri Lanka likewise requires an International Criminal Tribunal to bring Justice to the Eelam Tamils.
“History teaches that this GOSL Domestic Mechanism will fail. And for the reasons set forth by the High Commissioner for Human Rights in his Report, the GOSL Genocide against the Eelam Tamils will ‘recur.’
“I call upon all Tamils everywhere in the world not to be deceived by this Human Rights Chicanery perpetrated upon the Eelam Tamils by the self-styled UN Human Rights Council.
“These are all International Crimes for which there is Universal Jurisdiction by any State in the World to prosecute the Sinhala perpetrators.
“Indeed, every State in the World has an international legal obligation to prosecute the Sinhala genocidaires and war criminals should they set foot upon their respective territories. Many of them have been identified by Name in the Report by the High Commissioner.
“And under international criminal law, there is no Statute of Limitations for their commission of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes against the Eelam Tamils.
“Therefore, we must track them down and prosecute them all anywhere we find them in the world for the rest of their lives.
“Just like the Jewish People are still doing today against the Nazis seventy years after the end of World War II. Legally, these Sinhala genocidaires and war criminals are just like Pirates—The Enemies of all Humankind!”

International scrutiny will be central in what happens next - Callum Macrae
Tamil Guardian 02 October 2015
Writing for Channel 4 news, the No Fire Zone documentary director, Callum Macrae, said that victims and human rights organisations will expect to see real measurable progress in Sri Lanka on the implementation of the UNHRC resolution.
Noting that Sri Lanka would come under real pressure if progress wasn’t seen by the international community in upcoming weeks, Mr Macrae said “One likely issue to become an immediate focus of campaigning will be for the establishment of properly staffed and adequately funded regional office of the OHCHR in the Jaffna or Kilinochchi areas of the north.”
He added “The Sri Lankan government’s willingness to support and facilitate such an office would be seen as a real test of their proclaimed commitment to making this process work.”
Noting victims concerns that calls for demilitarisation of the North-East weren’t explicitly called for by the resolution, Mr Macrae concluded,
“Most observers agree that international scrutiny and involvement will be central to what happens next.”

International component crucial for credible accountability in Sri Lanka - Amnesty
Tamil Guardian 02 October 2015
Highlighting that international judges, defence lawyers, prosecutors and investigators were crucial for a credible accountability process, Amnesty International welcomed the UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka as an “opportunity” for justice if “the resolution and underlying commitments of Sri Lanka’s government are implemented in good faith,” said Amnesty International in a press release on Thursday.
Amnesty’s South Asia Research Director, David Griffiths said, “Although far from perfect, if the resolution and the underlying commitments of Sri Lanka’s government are implemented in good faith it presents an opportunity for victims to finally get truth and justice they have been waiting for.”
“The resolution calls for international judges, defence lawyers, prosecutors and investigators to ensure the credibility of the justice process – this is crucial. Sri Lanka has time and time again shown it is both unwilling and unable to investigate war crimes allegations against its own forces or hold perpetrators of grave abuses to account,” added Mr Griffiths.
Stressing the need for genuine internationalized consultation at all stages of the process he added,
“It will also be up to the international community and the Sri Lankan authorities to ensure that victims and their families are genuinely consulted at every step of the process to get to truth and justice. Sri Lankan authorities must undertake a wide range of institutional reform, including to strengthen witness protection which today falls far short of what is required.”
