The human rights report, which is critical of both the Sri Lankan government and the LTTE, declared that the government’s respect for human rights declined during the last stages of the war. The report goes on to cite that over the past year, human rights observers alleged that pro government paramilitary groups and security forces participated in armed attacks against civilians and practiced torture, kidnapping, hostage-taking, and extortion with impunity.
The report further claims the failure of appointing a Constitutional Council, ‘obstructed’ the appointment of independent representatives to important institutions such as the Human Rights Commission, Bribery Commission, Police Commission and Judicial Service Commission.
When questioned about these allegations, Minister Rambukwella concluded, “All we can say is that they should stop and take notice of the developments in the north and east. We are doing our part and will continue to do so.” (Daily Mirror online)

The condescending attitude or the self glorification approaches are not helpful in this type of situation. We need to analyze and respond to the US report. What is good for the local gullible electorate is not good enough for the international community.

It is the usual gesture of these jokers to shrug off everything. The Human Rights report is spot on, but the government spokesman is just trying to draw a red herring across it.

US at it again! They better reflect on war crimes and human rights infringements in Iraq and Afghanistan. That may better serve the humankind!

Why do these bankrupt politicians who are fighting for survival always condemn the US.This in no way will help the poor voter who is struggling for survival with the COL sky rocketing.
