AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL ACCUSES TAMIL TIGERS OF USING CIVILIANS AS A BUFFER VIOLATING INTERNATIONAL LAW
By Walter Jayawardhana

The London based Amnesty international accused the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) who are in control of Sri Lanka s Northern Wanni area of designing measures to use civilians as a buffer against government forces - a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

The Amnesty in a statement said, In the LTTE-controlled Wanni area, the Tigers have hindered thousands of families from moving to safer places by imposing a strict pass system and, in some instances, forcing some family members to stay behind to ensure the return of the rest of the family. These measures seem designed in part to use civilians as a buffer against government forces - a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

The Amnesty also accused the Tamil Tigers of recruiting people to fight unwillingly in its statement: The LTTE has also engaged in forced recruitment.

It is a very difficult task at this stage. Though Sinhalese is the mejority of Sri lanka they enjoy less priveldges than minorities. First upon we must unite the country, then we can think about as one nation or as Sri lankans. By law everybody in the country has equal rights. What missing at present is impementing difficulties.

Aug 15, Colombo: Thousands of people fleeing the war in Sri Lanka's embattled North must be allowed to move to safer areas and to receive necessary humanitarian assistance, Amnesty International said yesterday.

Issuing a statement yesterday, the human rights watchdog Amnesty International said the Tigers are keeping them in harm's way and the government is not doing enough to ensure they receive essential assistance.

Amnesty says that in the LTTE-controlled Wanni area, the Tigers have hindered thousands of families from moving to safer places by imposing a strict pass system and, in some instances, forcing some family members to stay behind to ensure the return of the rest of the family.

These measures seem designed in part to use civilians as a buffer against government forces -- a serious violation of international humanitarian law. The LTTE has also engaged in forced recruitment, EAI said in its statement.
