The present Sri Lanka Resolution was drafted by the self appointed “Core-Group on Sri Lanka”, which consists of United Kingdom, United States of America, Canada, Germany, Montenegro, North Macedonia and a lone non-western county Malawi. Even although India is a member of the Council, the “Core – Group on Sri Lanka” stored India out of their group.

If Western countries can take the lead in taking Ukraine-Russia war issue to International Criminal Court (ICC) and to International Court of Justice (ICJ), then India have all the right to take Sri Lanka issue to ICC and ICJ.”
India was actively concerned in our Tamil points for many years and have excellent data and understanding of our plight greater than another nation on the earth, together with Sri Lanka.
When we face abuses, it’s India that first come for our help.
For instance, after the mass killing of Tamils and rape of Tamil ladies in 1983, a whole lot of hundreds of Tamils fled in small boats to India for cover. Even now there are tens of hundreds of Tamil refugees nonetheless dwelling in India. India continues to present to Tamil refugees-even after forty years – meals, shelter, training, employment and safety.
Not solely India gave us safety, India beneath the management of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, took Tamil problem to the United Nations General Assembly in New York in 1983 and introduced our determined state of affairs to the eye of the world so as to get safety for Tamils.
We once more want India’s assist on the UN. This is immediately related to our Safety and Security.
The problem we’d like India’s assistance is to assist Refer Sri Lanka to International Criminal Court for mass killings of Tamils and sexually assaulting and raping a whole lot of Tamil ladies and women by the Sri Lankan Security forces.
As a member of the UN Human Rights Council, India have the precise and authority to take steps to cross a decision to Refer Sri Lanka to International Criminal Court (ICC). As a Regional chief India have extra understanding and credibility than any another nation, from distant locations, who haven’t any clue about our plight.
There is a draft decision on Sri Lanka presently being circulated on the UN Human Rights Council, drafted by the self-appointed “Sri Lanka Core-Group”.
But this draft decision didn’t embody the advice by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights calling to Refer Sri Lanka to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and this suggestion was endorsed by all earlier UN High Commissioners for Human Rights, 9 former UN Special Rapporteurs all of whom have visited Sri Lanka and wrote stories and all of the members of UN Panel of Experts on Sri Lanka.
We, Jaffna University Students Union joined Tamil political events, Members of Parliament and Civil Society teams collectively wrote a letter to the Core group of nations in regards to the significance of Referring Sri Lanka to ICC within the decision. But our request have been ignored by the Self Appointed Sri Lanka Core – Group of nations, who haven’t any data or understanding of our persevering with plight.
Here was our request: As a Mark of Urgency Several Segments of Tamil Community Unitedly Urge UN to Refer Sri Lanka to Int’l Criminal Court ICC. https://www.einpresswire.com/article/588451342/as-a-mark-of-urgency-several-segments-of-tamil-community-unitedly-urge-un-to-refer-sri-lanka-to-int-l-criminal-court-icc
Given Tamils previous expertise, we’re severely nervous that If Sri Lanka will not be Referred to ICC, it can embolden extraordinarily giant variety of troops stationed in Tamil areas to commit mass atrocities in opposition to Tamils with none hesitation, understanding nicely that they won’t be held accountable. Please word that the identical troops which are stationed in Tamil areas are those who killed hundreds of Tamils and sexually assaulted and raped a whole lot of Tamil ladies and women.
We Tamils have paid a heavy value for belonging to Tamil ethnic group. For instance, in accordance to UN’s Internal Review Report on Sri Lanka, round 70 thousand Tamils had been killed or unaccounted for through the last six months of the struggle. International Truth and Justice Project in February 2017 handed over particulars to UN of Sri Lankan Military run “Rape Camps”, the place Tamil ladies are being held as “sex slaves”. Furthermore, Thousands of Tamils had disappeared, together with infants and youngsters.
At this important time within the Resolution course of, we once more urge India to assist at a UN discussion board. This time at UN Human Rights Council, to Refer Sri Lanka to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
