LTTE in fresh offensive ahead of Geneva confab

A fresh LTTE initiative is underway ahead of Sri Lanka s forthcoming Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva to press for an international war crimes inquiry.
The UPR was created through the UN General Assembly on March 15, 2006 by resolution 60/251, which established the UNHRC itself.
The UK headquartered Global Tamil Forum (GTF) is spearheading the campaign with the Tamil National Alliance (TNA), too, pushing for an international inquiry in line with the recommendations made by a three-member UN panel. The grouping supported US resolution, which dealt with accountability issues in Sri Lanka at the 19th sessions of the UNHRC in Feb-March 2012.
The 20th sessions are scheduled for March 2013.
In a related move, another arm of the LTTE, United States Tamil Political Action Council (USTPAC) likened the ongoing Syrian crackdown to the Sri Lankan offensive (2006-2009) which defeated the LTTE.
On the eve of his departure for the 67th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), External Affairs Minister, Prof. G. L. Peiris told The Island that the LTTE and those still supportive of its macabre cause wanted to punish Sri Lankan leaders for restoring peace. Commenting on allegations that the Tamil speaking people were still being persecuted even three years after the conclusion of the conflict, Prof. Peiris said that interested parties propagated lies. Regardless of the LTTE propaganda blitz, the international community now realised that the Tamil speaking people now enjoyed freedom due to the eradication of terrorism.
Prof. Peiris is leading the GoSL delegation at the UNGA due to President Mahinda Rajapaksa s decision to skip the confab.
GTF spokesman Suren Surendiran countered an attempt by the GoSL to portray the grouping as an LTTE front organisation. The GTF, established in 2009 following the conclusion of the conflict in Sri Lanka, comprised representatives from 15 countries.
UK based Surendiran said that GTF delegation led by Rev. Father S. J. Emmanuel made representations to officials from the Republic of South Africa and Switzerland on 23rd and 24th September 2012, respectively, as part of the on-going engagement with foreign governments to highlight the enduring persecution of the Tamil people in Sri Lanka.
Meanwhile, USTPAC is closely working with a group of US lawmakers, sources alleged. Responding to a query, sources said that a group of 31 lawmakers had, at the behest of USTPAC, submitted a joint letter to US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton to implement the US resolution against Sri Lanka.
USTPAC made its move on the last day of congressional sessions before they went on recess for the November elections.

pushing for an international inquiry
Why is the Peelam Diaspora's obsession with discrediting Sri Lanka taking precedence over the welfare of the people in Vanni whose stories earned them riches in the west?
I suppose that welfare project would have been a terrible way to spend so much of the Diaspora's hardly earned money, eh? |

Do something different today since it is all about location, location and location...
That is to set up an Peelam Vulture Fund with links to high interest yielding human smuggling operations, prostitution and TNT Wonder Bra Bomb Technology. This should guarantee to secure enough funds within two years to buy a homeland in land rich Kanada, or salmon rich Noway.
If you prefer to have a homeland resembling Jaffna, ask Gota to build you one.
