UN team not sure of Sri Lankan visit
The United Nations says it is not yet clear that its own investigators will travel to Sri Lanka to look into allegations of war crimes in the final stage of the government’s conflict with Tamil Tigers rebels last year.
In an interview with the BBC’s Sinhala service, a spokesman, for the UN secretary general, Farhan Haq said a team would meet members of the government’s own commission of inquiry, but he said he wasn’t sure where.
Referring to a statement made by the General Secretary, Farhan Haq said, “He said that he is pleased that the panel is now able to visit Sri Lanka to meet with the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliations Commission (LLRC)”.
Contradictory statements
Government of Sri Lanka said last week that it would allow the UN team to visit the island, reversing its earlier refusal to grant them visas.
However, the UN spokesman refused to confirm or deny a visit to Sri Lanka. .”We can’t confirm if the panel will travel to Sri Lanka or will meet the LLRC in some other location”, Farhan Haq told the BBC Sandeshaya.

From its inception, UNSG’s panel was permitted to visit SL only on ad hoc basis to meet-up with LLRC to hear their conclusions and report. This, imperial West and diaspora LTTE supported UNSG panel is not allowed to carry out any investigations into alleged ‘war crimes’ during the War of Liberation of the innocent SL Tamils held hostage and as a human shield by the fascist psychopathic leader VP and his ragtag evil army of LTTE. If this panel was to attempt to hold such investigations they would be thrown out of our country. The members of this panel are all appointees of diaspora LTTE, corrupt men bought with LTTE money. They are prejudiced against SL. Their only brief is to humiliate SL, and to try to pin the label ‘war criminals’ on our heroic forces, the Defence Secretary and the Hon President.
In my view, the Hon President should not allow them to sully our sacred land with their evil presence, to carry out a bogus investigation, because we know what the outcome would be. Their report has already been written for them by Norway and the diaspora LTTE. China, Russia and even Israel would never allow such bogus panels of UNSG to carry out in their countries such bogus investigations into alleged war crimes. When is the UNSG going to appoint a panel to investigate the real war crimes committed by USA and Britain in Iraq and Afghanistan and continue to be committed with arrogance? When is the ‘rendition’ carried out by USA and Britain of prisoners of war from Iraq and Afghanistan, to other subservient countries, to be tortured to get confessions out of them, be investigated by UNSG appointed panel?
Why not going inspect this UN group iraq and afghanistan war crimes?They thing we are sri lankan some kind of comedy peoples!

This is a big joke. It is hilarious how the UN stay ignorant about the war , including racist activities done by the American and British soldiers in countries like Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of these Western nations thinks that they are superior or some sort over other nations and they think they can interfere or some bullsh*t with our internal problems. The UN is either too ignorant or just cowerdice to stand against any actions against those criminals of these western governments!

Ever since the talk of the UNSG panel’s proposed visit came up, the smoke billowing from the Incinerator gifted by the noodle eaters to the Blue Brothers and installed in the shores of the Nandikadal Lagoon, has become thicker and thicker.
Several unmanned silent aircraft also fly frequently over the area. Wonder who is filming the billowing smoke?
