Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE)
” UNHRC Given Prominence to the Protest in the South in which 10 People Died – Compared to the Silence of 70,000 Tamils Killed in Six Months is Shocking “
— Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE)
UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, October 6, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ — Today the Human Rights Council handed a decision on Sri Lanka-20 states voted towards Sri Lanka. In March 2021, 22 states voted towards Sri Lanka. 20 states voting towards Sri Lanka demonstrates that the island nation is taken into account a rogue state.
The Eelam Tamils are nonetheless disenchanted that India once more abstained from voting. Sri Lanka appears to have performed its “China card” effectively and scared its large neighbor India into silence. We Eelam Tamils anticipated that India, the regional energy, and rising world energy would act on the premise of ethical ideas, boldness and conviction.
We the Eelam Tamils are appalled by the callousness with which the Human Rights Council‘s (HRC) has approached the issue of accountability for the international crimes, namely war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide committed against the Tamil People. The victims, the domestic Tamil leadership, the domestic civil society, and the diaspora, all with one voice, called for a referral of the situation in Sri Lanka to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The TGTE would also like to point out that in 2015 nearly 1.6 million individuals across the globe participated in the signature campaign calling for the referral of Sri Lanka to the ICC. However, the HRC has not even acknowledged let alone acted upon it. In fact, the current HRC resolution is a retreat from its own position taken in 2015. In 2015, the HRC called for a hybrid tribunal and when Sri Lanka said a big NO, the HRC cowered and changed its own position from hybrid tribunal to a ‘domestic mechanism’. The commentary of the Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in her report to the HRC this yr that the development in Sri Lanka is in direction of Sinhala, Buddhist, majoritarian ideology, with the help of the army and Buddhist monks and the HRC’s calling for a home mechanism to present justice to Tamils are mutually contradictory. The Sinhala polity within the island of Sri Lanka won’t ever settle for any sort of accountability mechanism due to the stigma of collected guilt that may transpire from the trial.
Whereas the Expert Panel appointed by the then UN secretary General Ban ki-Moon explicitly said that it’s cheap to consider that crimes towards humanity and battle crimes had been dedicated in the course of the ultimate levels of the battle, the HRC has decreased these worldwide crimes to violations of Human Rights and Humanitarian legal guidelines. The HRC’s deliberate act of amnesia reminds us of Hitler’s notorious assertion that “who after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians”.
Also, the prominence given to the protest within the south through which 10 individuals died, evaluating to the silence on the armed battle through which in accordance to the UN inside assessment report through which 70,000 individuals had been killed in the course of the ultimate levels of the armed battle is stunning.
As the OHCHR identified in her report, the Sri Lankan Defense Ministry was allotted US $1.86 billion which accounted for 15% of the overall authorities expenditure, making it the sector with highest allocation of funds in 2022. It’s additionally reported within the Financial Times, dated October third, 2022, that the armed forces “employ more than 250,000 people in a country of 22 million equivalent to nearly 3% of the labor force”. According to the Oakland Institute in California, there’s one military personnel for each six civilians within the Tamil areas.
The army occupation of the Tamil nation is a bulwark for Sinhalization and Buddhistization and can also be exploiting the livelihood and economy of the Tamil People. The least that was anticipated of the HRC, was that it might name for the discount of the armed forces and a timetable for its withdrawal from Tamil areas.
The highway to the ICC by way of HRC is lengthy and troublesome as a result of the HRC is a state-centric establishment and never a very impartial physique. The victims should not have a seat on the desk. It will not be a shock that in state-centric establishments the human rights performs second fiddle to the exhausting actuality of energy politics. It appears to be HRC has turn into one other discussion board for actual politik. And the vagaries of actual politik maintain the Eelam Tamils as individuals betrayed completely.
Thus, it’s crucial that as well as whereas using current boards a victim-centric accountability mechanism ought to be created. The evolving worldwide legislation and worldwide relations present house for it. In 2020, the TGTE launched a mission known as Victims Driven International Justice (VDIJ). Last week, the TGTE despatched a illustration to the registrar of the ICC that it’s acceding to its jurisdiction. This was executed on behalf of the de jure, Tamil Eelam state, given the truth that the Eelam Tamils didn’t consent to the 1972 and 1978 constitutions of Sri Lanka, thus when Sri Lanka severed its ties with the British, Tamil sovereignty reverted again to the Tamils.
We hope the ICC will assume jurisdiction and can provoke prosecution of the crimes dedicated within the North and North-Eastern half of the island of Sri Lanka. Given the truth that the Tamil genocide, like others in Cambodia, the previous Yugoslavia, and Rwanda are dedicated by states, the TGTE will launch a legislative marketing campaign to deliver an exception for worldwide crimes and torture to their Foreign Sovereign Immunity Acts. This will allow civil authorized motion towards the state itself by victims themselves home tribunals of these nations.
TGTE may also work with the victims and different diaspora entities to deliver authorized actions in varied nations beneath common jurisdiction. We hope that the OHCHR will share the proof it collected.
Tamils’ Destiny in Tamils Hand -The thirst of Tamils is Tamil Eelam.
