Ms Pillay what about civilians murdered by LTTE in Sri Lanka in non-combat areas and during ceasefires?

What or who gave the right to terrorists and their movements to plan, execute and eliminate people? What or who gave terrorists rights when they are not signatory or bound by the international laws that prevail? Who gave terrorists any right to declare war on nations and with what right have some even entertained these notions that have obliterated situations beyond repair? What or who gave terrorists right to be placed on par with legitimate and elected governments when they are outlawed and proscribed? The fact remains that throughout 3 decades the LTTE specifically planned to kill and murder ordinary people getting about their lives, people unprepared for the surprise attacks that came their way, people living in their villages, traveling in buses and people who were unarmed. These killings are nothing but cold blooded murder and they need to be now punished. In any court of law the person committing the murder is just as guilty as those planning it or those aware of it. As accessories in murder all of the LTTE front organizations now promoting themselves as peace charlatans and in particular the political party calling themselves the Tamil National Alliance must stand on trial for all these civilian murders that have taken place since early 1980s.
LTTE claimed to be fighting for a separate land mass to rule their own people ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” this was defined as ONLY those people who functioned to LTTE dictates. Those that didnƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢t are now feet underground and they number over 250 Tamils of standing while we are clueless about the number of ƒÆ’-¡ƒ”š‚ ordinary Tamils who suffered the same fate and this includes scores of LTTE cadres as well.
What is important and an issue that the Sri Lankan Government officials have not raised and should raise with Ms. Navi Pillay is that the civilians killed over 3 decades were nowhere near combat zones/areas. They did not die because of some missiles accidentally hitting where they lived. They were not caught between LTTE terrorists or the army to claim collateral damage and they were not killed because of targeted killings such as drones that the US takes part in.
The Sri Lankan civilians who died deserve far more attention than the examples that are used to demand accountability during the final stages of the war because UN officials, Darusman Report have all acknowledged that the LTTE were using civilians as combatants and this does not give these Tamil civilians protection under human rights law if they are indulging in any terrorist activity (whether by force or voluntarily) ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” how is a soldier to identify this given that most often LTTE fired in civil clothes. How precarious for us to imagine a soldier taking time to ascertain whether the person in civil was in the LTTE or not before shooting and would the soldier have been alive to tell us that he was not an LTTEr. But these are the bizarre rulings issued from officials sitting in air conditioned rooms across the seas.
The issue here was that every government, every UN official and every international law maker have purposely ignored that LTTE were planning and murdering people and they had a virtual carte blanche to do so. Moreover, they improvised human beings to act as bombs making identification all the more difficult. Were the dead, non-combatants? Were they in a combat zone? All laws of war are generally applicable to armed conflicts (international or otherwise) and while terrorists have yet to be defined we have some countries banning terrorist groups as they see fit ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” omissions or inclusions have created confusions world over given that countries like the UK where LTTE was banned since 2001 and its Government declaring that the LTTE was second only to the Al Qaeda, finds it acceptable to allow LTTE to openly have its international office function in London, LTTE front organizations to hold fundraising events in UK where the most amusing factor was to see UK parliamentarians even attend and sit behind a backdrop of a towering cut out of Prabakaran and then continue to allow the nurse who trained little children to kill and then to kill themselves by committing suicide taking a cyanide capsule to live happily ever after in UK. So when Governments say one thing and do the total opposite can this world be ever rid of terrorism or put an end to the loss of life?
In adopting Geneva Conventions it is emphasized again that while humane treatment for captured legal combatants are given great prominence what about the rules of law for people snuffed out just because it serves the terrorist agenda? How can the Red Cross or UN respond to this? International bodies must stop picking and choosing who to term terrorist and whose label they hope to dangle simply to get Governments to tow the line according to their agendas? In simply allowing LTTE to kill thousands of people and putting more emphasis on peace talks and ceasefires that the West knew were times used to regroup and rearm because the West manufactures virtually all the weapons used in conflicts ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢¢”š¬…” what is the game these nations are playing with ordinary people? Ideally what should happen if any peace is to prevail in this world is to declare Manufacture and Sale of Arms as a War Crime. If there are no arms and no nuclear arsenal around would there be any wars and more importantly loss of life!!!!
While the international referees are ever ready to dangle the red card to Third World governments in how they should treat terrorists according to the text books of international laws drawn up by them the civilized world they pay scant regard to the manner terrorists like LTTE have been operating in cohorts with their alliances and aliasƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ¢-¾‚¢s the world over.
If the answer to all ills can be resolved through negotiations that means no group has any right to be brandishing guns to get their way. When they use the guns on innocent people who have nothing to do with their grievances or unsuccessful aspirations then they need to be punished and not given VIP treatment as LTTE has been given. In doing so the international players have completely delayed justice for the scores of people who were simply pawns in a larger game.
How would LTTE have got their Eelam/Self-Determination by killing innocent unarmed civilians?
The below list of civilian deaths by LTTE since 1980s excludes the killings on unarmed civilians by Indian Peace Keeping Force as well as the civilians who died in India when LTTE assassinated the son of the Indian prime minister who first started training, arming and financially supporting Sri Lankan Tamil militants in India for which the world and India keeps mum about. If this was not state sponsorship of terror what is?
The list will reveal how LTTE attacked Sinhala and Muslim villages in the North so as to kill or chase them from the North in a bid to claim the area as being inhabited ONLY by Tamils to which the Tamil National Alliance were also accessory as were the LTTE front organizations and others. This is a criminal offence.

Shenali: “We would like to know from Ms.Pillay her comments about the deaths of thousands of civilians outside of combat zones and even during the UN backed ceasefires”. A very fair and reasonable request made to a “Plausible”person in High Command in the UN.
But what is she mandated to do in Sri Lanka? Do you remember that Resolution brought up by the US and agreed by a majority of the UNHRC in Geneva? That Resolution gives her the authority to be in Sri Lanka and it is nothing beyond the provisions of it. So I do not think she will opt to even on a side line to agree to make comment on this request. On the other hand, we cannot expect it at all from her, given the background of her performance as the High Commissioner of the UNHRC as far as Sri Lanka issues are concerned.
If our Government is not taking action to “give these civilians and their families justice”, from where we could expect that JUSTICE you are referring. We do know that our Governmental Authorities are not moving in that direction, because, if such an exercise was undertaken, some of the persons such as KP, Karuna, Daya Master, Pillayan & Co. would have been put behind bars for life, instead of their present day “LUXURIANT” life spent among the VVIPs. So where do you find that JUSTICE you are speaking of.
So do not expect Ms. Pillay to comment on your request.

NAVI PILLAY IS A HUMAN RIGHTS SPECIALIST. NEVER WILL BE INTERESTED IN BRUTAL KILLINGS AND MURDERS.
SHE IS A TAMIL, AND THEREFORE IS NOT INTERESTED ON ” INHUMAN ACTIVITES ” OF THE TAMILS.
SHE IS HELL BENT ON PUNISHING SRI LANKA FOR DESTROYING HER KIND, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE TERRORISTS.
HELL HATH NO FURY THAN A WOMAN SCORNED.

To quote the article:” In any court of law the person committing the murder is just as guilty as those planning it or those aware of it.” and I may add facilitating it by giving the murderer the means and the cover after he committed the act of murder.
The UNHRC, the British journalist who made the channel 4 video, to the US that formulated the human rights violations were aware of It. I would go even further to state that Colombo was aware of the “attack and hide” technique used by the LITE. Why isn’t Jayalalithaa not charged for aiding and abetting the LITE? How about Karunanidhi? how about the Congress members in India who still hold official positions after they allowed RAW to train, equip, fund and in the case of Tamil Nadu give shelter to the LITE.
Now that Mrs. Pillay is in Sri Lanka these issues have to placed to her and any excuse that she needs time or did not know this etc. will be solved with this knowledge and what is she going to do about it? That has to be addressed over and above the reconciliation process for Jayalalithaa is demanding Katchacheevu island back and she is demanding a referendum to form Eelam when she is guilty of supporting the genocidal acts of LITE.
Same goes for Karunanidhi who has resurrected TESO (Tamil Eelam Supporters Org) and the Tamil National Alliance for having in their manifesto the formation of such a nation for that is sedition. Mrs. Pillay should also be notified what would happen or not happen if she does not immediately address these issues including the possibility that Tamil be removed as an official language and the TNA dissolved on ground of seditious acts against the nation.

If this piece of dirt has a long life, the lives of ALL SLs will be MISERABLE.
We can fight off external enemies but HOW can we fight INTERNAL ENEMIES like this one?
I can think of ways but if I say them I will be banned from commenting. My ONLY concern is UNITARY SL which must be protected AT ANY COST.
This witch will leave SL after planting MANY RACIST bombs. I can tell you that.

Are those who terrorised the Sri Lanka like Adele Balasingham or those who used Prabakaran as a proxy to do the dirty work, like Rudrakumaran, Emmanual, Karunanidi, Vaiko etc or those who misguide the international community with fabricated news items and documents, like McRae, Harrison etc are guilty of war crimes? If so what action could be taken to hold them accountable? If no action is taken against them, then could it encourage others to act similarly against Sri Lanka or some other nation disliked by the West and get away with their crimes, simply because some powerful individuals in the West are aligned with them?
August 27th, 2013 at 11:02 am
Shenali, thank you for compiling this long and sad list of ltte murders in Sri Lanka. That this country took all this lying down for so long (a quarter century) is amazing testimony to what ? forbearance ? helplessness ? inept leaders ? What would UK, USA or any other country in Europe have done in the same instance ?
Here is an article form the LankaPage re the Navi Pillai visit to Sri Lanka :
“* Sri Lankan war survivors complain to UN rights chief about missing relatives, land grabs
Tue, Aug 27, 2013, 09:01 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Aug 27 (AP) MULLIVAIKKAL, Sri Lanka- Survivors of Sri Lanka’s civil war complained on Tuesday to the United Nations’ human rights chief about missing relatives, military land grabs and a life without basic facilities more than four years after the end of the quarter-century war.
Pillay told the survivors that she will raise their complaints with government authorities when she meets them later this week.
Earlier, Pillay visited northern Jaffna, the cultural heartland of ethnic minority Tamils, where a group of civilians carrying pictures of their missing relatives called for help in finding them.
Pillay is on a weeklong visit to assess the situation before reporting to the U.N. Human Rights Council next month. The council passed a resolution in March urging Sri Lanka to more thoroughly investigate alleged war crimes committed by government soldiers and the rebels.
Government troops defeated the Tamil Tigers in May 2009, ending their attempt to create a separate state for Tamils. A U.N. report said government troops may have killed 40,000 Tamil civilians in the final phase of the war.
Many civilians and rebels said to have surrendered to the military toward the end of the fighting are reported missing.
The rebels are accused of killing civilians, using them as human shields and recruiting child soldiers.
Human rights groups say the military has seized about 6,400 acres (2,589 hectares) of land from war victims since the end of the fighting and now run farms on the land”.
Our questions are :
(1) How many Tamils and who exactly were killed by the ltte for non-compliance etc ?
(2) How many Tamils (and what are their names) died in the Tsunami of Dec 2004 ?
(3) How many in the Human Shield of ltte are Tamil illegal migrants from Tamil Nadu ?
(4) Do the land claimants have any proof (even slender) of land ownership in the North ?
(5) How many Tamil illegal migrants are claiming land in the North ?
