UNITED NATIONS: A top UN peacekeeping committee on Wednesday barred a Sri Lankan general accused of carrying out a military onslaught against civilians.
Mayu Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:06 AM
Until it is proved in the courts, he is having all the right to do that.
Raj Thursday, 23 February 2012 11:04 AM
They joined the government and became Ministers.
Thatha Thursday, 23 February 2012 11:10 AM
Countdown start for punishment.
Silva Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:39 AM
Also your should kick off from the country
Ajantha Dissanayake Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:36 AM
Person being accused of some wrong doing is not necessary mean he is a convict. Presumption of innocent is a basis concept in judicial proceeding. That means until someone is proven guilty he/she is presumed innocent. It is sad an official who does not know this basic rule is chairing the Special Advisory Group.

US start counting now, 1..2..3..4....?

Shame
willows Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:08 AM
General Shavendra is a real hero and a highly qualified officer and a gentleman, he knows what he is dong, and I'm afraid the so called peacekeeping committee is worried that if he starts talking and making decisions then they all have to go home, because they cant' play games with him.
sirisena jayawardane Thursday, 23 February 2012 01:19 PM
very sad news. You are one of our greatest national heroes who were responsible for eliminating LTTE terrorism from our mother country.We are able to live in peace in any part of our country.

Why do you see UN as your GOD?
Vignesh Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:05 AM
How many many tamil life taken S L army ? Is that ok.?
Sena Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:01 AM
Can he come back to Sri Lanka and be appointed to a high civilian post? so that the vacancy can be filled by Sri Lanka by a career diplomat who would ensure more SL peace keepers are recruited by the UN. We need the MONEY and the Jobs. Let us be practical here.Right now we may attend meetings and not even the documents being discussed will be given to us not to mention never being allowed to talk.
Mayu Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:01 AM
It is money, money, money.
Mayu Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:48 AM
But the UN is thinking other way round. So how to estabilish the truth?
Nodrog Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:56 AM
But if he was an American or British he'd be a war hero and honoured.
srinath.gunaratne Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:54 AM
We should not allow Shavendra Silva to be humiliated like this. Please bring him back and let him live a decent life in Sri Lanka.
silva Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:34 AM
Well done UN..... you should kick him out of UN Office
Gajan Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:46 AM
If he was nominated by member countries, i think he has all the right to sit on that committee.
sinniah Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:12 PM
You cant cheat all the people all the time.This criminal must locked up in prision for life.
Roger Friday, 24 February 2012 10:01 AM
Have you ever been educated to understand how a nomination is made in a organisation and the steps how the body can make to stop that nomination in action. Well I miss the point sri lankans are so uneducated to realise how it works
Nodrog Friday, 24 February 2012 03:39 AM
If the UN had definite proof they could have taken action but all anyone has is unproven allegations.
Sena Friday, 24 February 2012 01:53 AM
But most accused persons do keep away from official work until the accusation is resolved.
viplan Friday, 24 February 2012 12:42 AM
well done UN.
Chelliah Friday, 24 February 2012 12:11 AM
His skill is not required in UN...Only requires in Jungle...
faqi Friday, 24 February 2012 12:13 AM
Canada, Australia are two to the countries where the LTTE supporting Tamil diaspora have a big say in politics and contributions to politicians,so naturally their diplomats will side with the LTTE supporters not the GOSL. They do not care for the truth, all they have to do is go to Sri Lanka and see for themselves the real situation on the ground.
TomsamUSA Thursday, 23 February 2012 11:28 PM
It's time to confess and enjoy the spring weather in NYC.
TomsamUSA Thursday, 23 February 2012 11:27 PM
Human rights and right for self determination is stronger than any currency.
krishan Thursday, 23 February 2012 10:56 PM

Gaya Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:24 PM

Logan Thursday, 23 February 2012 07:43 PM
Well done Kick that wild dog out of the US Now or cage that Mad dog for life long.
Guru Thursday, 23 February 2012 07:38 PM
This is just the start, he will be humiliated like this forever.
pat Thursday, 23 February 2012 05:00 PM
SL must send him to China!
Suresh Thursday, 23 February 2012 05:03 PM
You are brainwashed.
David Thursday, 23 February 2012 04:48 PM
Yes. Bring him back to Sri Lanka and give him a post like presidential adviser.
Kodikara Thursday, 23 February 2012 04:53 PM
Too late. The damge to the country and citizens is already done due to stupid decisions by our leaders.
Samayan Thursday, 23 February 2012 02:28 PM
Dollars are more powerful than UN
krishna Thursday, 23 February 2012 01:10 PM
Correct decision.
Nodrog Thursday, 23 February 2012 05:30 AM
Shame of the UN for giving in to the Tamil diaspora whose only agenda is to create and maintain mayhem between the Tamils and Sinhalese to keep the donations rolling in.
Manushya Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:37 AM
Is this a way UN behaves i.e. first letting him to be appointed and then to be bared from attending? can they afford to behave so cheaply like this? Isn't is a big humiliation to our country? Do we see a difference between the UN and our government as both are highly partial and unprofessional in their conduct. God save the world
Thomas Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:26 AM
In the First Place, why should Military men to be appointed as Senior Diplomats in Embassies, and the UN. Career diplomats be appointed as Ambassadors etc.
Ajith Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:11 AM
Yes to feed you too (if you are Sri Lankan)
Ajith Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:10 AM
Provided there is one
Gonjan Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:21 AM
He may be a war criminals to Terrorists who sucked our blood for 30 years....
Ajith Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:09 AM
Exactly in the same way as some members of the Tamil diaspora do.
Zscore Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:09 AM
What goes around comes around.. he he he
Human Thursday, 23 February 2012 05:51 AM

God waits and punishes......
Nodrog Thursday, 23 February 2012 05:09 AM
whatever happened to 'innocent until proven guilty'......or does this rule apply only to 'white folk' ?
Ranjan Thursday, 23 February 2012 05:04 AM
How could war criminals be on such peacekeeping committee
lanka kamalgoda Thursday, 23 February 2012 04:45 AM
IT IS A CASE OF POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK. I HAVE ONLY TWO WORDS-- GUANTANAMO BAY.
Leslie Thursday, 23 February 2012 04:55 AM
It is better for Silva to gracefully withdraw from the panel. This would save face for the Country than being disgraced.
Kc Thursday, 23 February 2012 04:42 AM
Do we need all this?
Guru Thursday, 23 February 2012 04:35 AM
This is what happens to criminals.
ADRIAN CORERA Thursday, 23 February 2012 04:16 AM
You are always our hero.

year like they were wiped out with families in 2009
gamunu Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:24 AM
He is not a war criminal. It is alleged, so until proven guilty he can not be labelled war criminal. That is what the western democracies preach!
Bimba Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:21 AM
Good work. Keep it up
mohan Thursday, 23 February 2012 09:03 AM

Javi Thursday, 23 February 2012 08:35 AM
We have hundred of talented professional diplomats in our country, why Silva appointed for UN position, It caused troubles to SL image.

In the first place our war hero shouldn't have been sent to that , pro tiger UNO , to be humiliated like this.
Theepan Thursday, 23 February 2012 07:43 AM
They all died sir.. I thought u know that already
mahinda Thursday, 23 February 2012 07:43 AM
UN is'nt fortunate to have the services of a Hero who has crushed an organization which had violated human rights for the past 30 years and saved a country
Guru Thursday, 23 February 2012 07:37 AM
Leslie, what face are you talkiing about, both the country and Silva doesn't have a decent face.
TMA Thursday, 23 February 2012 07:16 AM

Gen. Shavendra is a all time hero for us. and skillful soldier.
Kondebendapucheena Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:58 AM
No matter what world saying He is a War Hero for All the Sri Lankans ,
charmW Thursday, 23 February 2012 06:58 AM
This is a good lesson for the Sri Lankan government. Thuggery is not accepted in civilized world. UN has asked the SL government to recall this chap but government prefers thugs. Probably Kohona would have been a better choice to be nominated fot this panel.
