Finally.....Sri Lanka against itself.....LLRC.
Sri Lanka is engaged in an all-out effort to stave off a resolution against it at the ongoing session of the United Nations Human Rights Council at Geneva. The United States, the prime backer of the resolution, has circulated a draft among the Council's 47 members calling on Colombo to do nothing more than implement the recommendations of its own Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission, as well as to initiate credible investigations into violations of international human rights laws not addressed adequately by the LLRC. Among other recommendations, the report, tabled in the Sri Lankan parliament last year, asked the government to ascertain, more fully the circumstances of five incidents in which civilians were killed during the last phases of the war against the LTTE in 2009, and if wrongful conduct by security personnel were established, to prosecute and punish. It also asked the government to investigate the disappearances of LTTE members who surrendered, to demilitarise northern Sri Lanka, and to arrive at a settlement for devolution of powers to the Tamil minority. In its defence, the Rajapaksa government has pointed to internal enquiries initiated by the Sri Lankan Army as progress on implementing the LLRC recommendations it has also cited the setting up of a parliamentary select committee as evidence of its sincerity in addressing the Tamil question. The success or failure of a resolution at the HRC depends not so much on the merit of the issue, but on a country's diplomatic ability to line up friends and allies, in support of or against the resolution. By that measure, Sri Lanka could yet come out of its ordeal laughing.

What has been Uncle Sam's record on Human Rights and observing International laws starting with WWII?
1. Hiroshima and Nagasaki are household names though the US
nuclear attack, mercifully the one and only attack in
human history, took place more than 66 years ago, in 1945
incinerating more than 200,000 innocent civilians. Even
today, the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki feel the
effect of this inhuman nuclear attack.
2. Wars in Korea, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos which claimed
the lives of hundreds of thousand innocents and maimed
many more.
3. Brutal invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq on false
pretexts killing and maiming millions of innocents and
terrorising many more millions into fleeing their homes
to a life of abject misery in refugee camps.
4. Bagram in Afghanistan, Abu Ghraib in Iraq and
Guantnamo concentration camps where torture and
prisoner abuse of unimaginable proportions are
continuing even now are standing testimony to the putrid
record of US on Human Rights.
5. The so-called Rendition practiced by the US whereby
suspects are transferred to various US friendly countries
for torture is another glaring example of US regard for
Human Rights.
6. The financial and military aid together with diplomatic
and political support given to the Israelis who have been
perpetrating the most horrendous Human Rights Violations
in Palestine for more than six decades is another
disgusting example of the shameful Human Rights record
of the US.
The foregoing are but a few examples of the Duplicity of Uncle Sam on human Rights
That the US should submit a resolution against Sri Lanka on
Human Rights violations is the ultimate exercise in HYPOCRISY that we have the misfortune to watch. Disgusting, simply Disgusting.

Real Terrorists are well safe in west.
they will not use arms...they do not need to do so.
Sri Lankan Gov made the stage for Terrorists to return.
in a much stronger version with the backing of west.
No such would have happened if Sri Lanka prosecuted LTTE under PTA.
Including TNA and all the supporters.
hang one LTTE leader...... everything will stop.

Too much Indian model in Sri Lanka. So, the govt thinks as a small Island, they can continue Indian model without any objections from outside.
Because, TNA use Tamils, the Govt use others.

Uncle Sam's only interest is to control the gulf / middle east and China, but you modayas thought you were smart r to play China agianst India. The useless Hindian PM who takes orders from the Italian Indian Empress, is anti Tamil and pro Sinhala. So Uncle Sam isnt happy with you guys or your Aryan counterparts up North !!!!!
