Mr. President,
On behalf of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam, and for the victims of the 2009 war in Sri Lanka, I would like to express our deep concerns for the delay of justice and accountability, and the non-conformance and implementation of the resolutions L30/1 and L46/1.
Mr. President, the High Commissioner’s Report on September 6th on Sri Lanka, highlighted the indivisibility of Human Rights and the economic crisis in Sri Lanka.
But the human rights issues of Tamils continue, with the unjustified allocation of US$1.86 billion, amounting to 15% of total expenditure, for the military to suppress and subjugate the Tamils, in their own Homeland, with impunity.
The report inter alia, also further expresses concern on the promotion of a Sinhala Buddhist majoritarian ideology for a fundamentalist state, and the long continuous protest by families waiting for the enforced disappeared.
Mr. President,
It’s been 13 years now since the end of the Mullivaikkal war. How long should the victims wait? We urge the Council, that there be no more time and space be given to Sri Lanka, after repeated resolutions and extensions, and with patience from the victims of war, now 13 years, but, to refer of Sri Lanka to the UN Security Council with recommendation to refer the situation in Sri Lanka to the ICC.
Thank you
