UN should extend its mandate before and after the war to figure out pattern of crime committed against Tamils in Sri Lanka .

The GOSL is succumbing and now even ready to allow the panel to visit SL. A deal may even be struck between the GOSL and UN to exonerate against war crimes.

Let UN keep on extending the term for another 5 years of KING rule.

As long as they dont come here to investigate, it is ok for us.

Samara Friday, 14 January 2011 04:50 AM

you think even if they come, they will be allowed to go to North by us ?
Imagine the news all over world if UN panel meets Joseph Rayappu who repeats the allegations of 1,50,000 still missing in North ?

Possibly to provide them with time to learn from our LLRC?

Extend the enquiry to atrocities committed during the Chera, Chola, Pandiya & Pallawa invasions of Sri Lanka too. We need to get compensated by them. High time.

150k is 70% of the population in the North. Rayappu is capable of that.
