US says “time is slipping away” for Sri Lanka; action in Council will sow seeds of peace
US Under Secretary of State for Civilian Security, Democracy and Human Rights Maria Otero speaking at the UN Human Rights Council session a short while ago expressed that the US is concerned over Sri Lanka as “time is slipping away” and requested that the LLRC recommendations be implemented.
She added that the US welcomed the recommendations made by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) and requested that it be implemented.
“There can be no lasting peace without reconciliation and accountability but the US is concerned in Sri Lanka that time is slipping away and the international waited three years for action”, Otero stated.
She added that the United States continues to engage Sri Lanka bilaterally on these issues since the conflict ended in 2009 and stands ready to continue its work with Sri Lanka.

LLRC has no ‘Auto button’ to press for instant work. ‘Instant reconcilation’ won’t last for long.
But what’s this ‘Hurry’ of you about srilanka..? Go to the toilete if you can’t bear.! And see also can you do the ‘relevant task there’ without letting time go.!
Then WE SRILANKANS STRONGLY SAY that YOU STOP MEDDLING in OUR INTERNAL MATTERS…!
We’re Srilankans doing things taking our time.
WHAT YOU Shit & PIss Here…?
Haven’t you any Shit to do except Meddling In Other Countries..?
F… OFF & MIND YOU OWN THINGS..!
Amden,
Listen. The US is doing you a big favour. They do not know what they are talking about. More that 80,000 citizens were killed in the JVP uprising. More than 200,000 citizens were killed in the 30 year war.
The country’s economy is in ruins. It will only take one person (like Comrade Rohana or Thambi Prabakaran) to force another set of people or youth to take up arms.
What are these Americans talking about?
US Special Forces teams are currently stationed in five South Asian countries including Sri Lanka as part of the counter-terrorism co-operation with these nations, a top Pentagon commander has disclosed.
These teams have been deployed by US Pacific Command as part of its effort to enhance their counter-terrorism capabilities, in particular in the maritime domain, Admiral Robert Willard, the PACOM Commander said yesterday.
“We have currently special forces assist teams – Pacific assist teams is the term – laid down in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives, as well as India,” Willard told lawmakers at a Congressional hearing in response to a question on co-operation with India on counter-terrorism issues. “We are working very closely with India with regard to their counter-terrorism capabilities and in particular on the maritime domain but also government to government, not necessarily DOD (Department of Defence) but other agencies assisting them in terms of their internal counter-terror and counterinsurgency challenges,” Willard said. Willard said, Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (Let) is a very dangerous organisation.
US let me ask this question? Why you have to fight terrorism. They are humens like all other people. IF you fight them the chances are high that you have to dela with UN?????

Above no. 2 Mp says that US favours to me..??!
That means he’s not including with me to have that “favour”. Then he’s a fool tamil terror supporter who tries to mislead here hilariously using fake name.!
So you mind Mp That you’re totally Failed on the spot with your shit terror intentions.!
Don’t be a waste & vain here anymore..!
Yeah, yeah, Amden, the US is not only supporting you but the whole Sri Lankan state.
If Sri Lanka is to experience true and sustainable peace and not the peace of the victor in the war, it shoul in the first instance, come out clean of its role in the war.
War & Peace both experiences for real srilankans, not to the abets.!
We srilankans know the war & peace both very well. And we don’t want to learn how many deaths in jvp uprising or by ltte. Because we saw the relevant incidents alive.
Then the most important thing is that We Know How to Keep Peace. We’ve Done it & we’ll sustain it by ourselves not with any abets.! That’s it.!
And everyone should be keep in mind that the SUSTAINABLE peace came to srilanka by after beating the tamil TERRORISM..!
