COLOMBO: The US will bring a fresh resolution to the UN Human Rights Council in a bid to force Sri Lanka to deliver on promises to probe its troops for war crimes, top US diplomats announced on Monday after talks with Colombo.
“The US has decided to sponsor a procedural resolution (against Sri Lanka) at the March 2013 sessions of the UNHRC,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of State James Moore said, adding Colombo must do more to ensure accountability after decades of war.

Well, it’s a free World. The bullies are free to bring resolutions against nations and against the peace loving proletariat of those nations.
We have friends, my dear bosses from Obamaland, we do have many friends who know what our needs are, respect those needs and help us meet with those needs.
We were under the barrel of the gun of the World’s most ruthless terrorist organisation (as defined by your former Prsident, George Bush) and we have a leader who had the courage to take them on in our stride.
We won, dear US people, we won decisively and eleiminated the threat that not only us but the whole world faced. The LTT is proscribed by more than 100 countries in the world including you USA. We, the brave people of Sri Lanka, helped you by eliminating the LTT from the face of this earth.
If you want to fight a battle (a paper battle) in Geneva for having helped you, pleae go ahead.
The truth will help us.
World biggest debtor(begger)-USA concentrate to settle Your debts which exceed $15 TRILLIONS and let Sriankans to handle their domestic matters by themselves and mind your own business
I am proud to produce below, a quote by a true son of the soil, Hon Wimal Weerawansa:
“The true intention of the three deputies of US President Barack Obama visiting the country was to collect information to use them against Sri Lanka in the global forums, Construction, Engineering Services, Housing and Common Amenities Minister Wimal Weerawansa charged.
Addressing a ceremony held at Mawathagama to distribute houses among low income families under the ‘Janasevana’ programme, Minister Weerawansa stressed that the goal of the three US officials’ was to show the world that law and order had collapsed and therefore the allegations of war crimes during the humanitarian operation have to be probed before an international tribunal.
“Mr. Obama has sent his three deputies here as he thinks that the law and order situation in the country had totally broken down in Sri Lanka,” Minister Weerawansa said sarcastically. What is tragic about the present situation is that there are so many people here to sympathize with the US President. Both the UNP and the JVP also say that there is no law and order in Sri Lanka. The Tamil Diaspora, the TNA and the LTTE sympathizers also repeat what the US and the opposition say. All these people said the same thing during the humanitarian operation, Weerawansa said. “
If Sri lanka stays united, not only all races also all political parties, then nobody can starve us to death. I appeal to the rich in Sri lanka to help the economy, by paying all the due taxes. Be ready to cut down the style of living and make some painful sacrifices, then we can make it. Do anything to win the hearts of the Sri Lankans but not to win the hearts of the UN members.
my dear Jayaraj, first of all tell your own tamil disaporas,who lives in swiss and abroad to help your own poor tamils…srilanka has sufferd enough last 30years.
Because of bloody tamil tigers,,they are the people who ruined our tiny motherland…and still their fighting for tamil eelam…so please tell them start with your idias..
“The US announced that the Government’s impeachment of the country’s chief justice, despite two court rulings that the process was illegal and against the constitution, also contributed to the US decision for a fresh resolution.”
Looks like those US clowns have come to Sri Lanka with their mind already set. Basically they don’t care about the human rights issue. They simply want to topple the current government, just like they did in Egypt, Libya and Iraq. Otherwise how come the Chief Justice issue (absolutely internal admin issue) is linked to this.
The sad part is that we have lot more clowns within the country who are prepared to swallow the US bait along with hook and sinker.
