When serious action is needed against Colombo and the Sri Lankan state in order to uphold human dignity and world civilisation, some world leaders pathetically believe in not penalising Colombo and in a 'carrot and stick' approach. The Eezham Tamils have seen enough of carrots always going to Colombo and stick always coming to them, writes TamilNet political commentator in Colombo. "The legal system and procedural governments of the liberal democracies have enough space to indict these leaders and governments in their own countries to remind them of their crime and responsibilities. Unless humanitarian organizations and the Eezham Tamil diaspora take up this matter seriously, these leaders will not only go on conning but will also dare to abet Colombo's agenda of structural genocide."
Full text of the observations of the commentator follows:
A UN 'dignitary' and a Sri Lankan Minister who visited the internment camps in Vanni found much to the chagrin of their egos that the inmates didn't stand up to 'welcome' them. The minister was heard complaining about it later.
While anyone who upholds human dignity has to appreciate the spirit and silent show of feelings by the concentration camp inmates, the incident also reveals the chauvinistic and appalling attitude of the 'ruling junta' in Colombo.
Much has been said and written on the incarceration of a nation in the concentration camps and open prisons in the island. Just like the world allowed a genocidal war to take place without witnesses, it now shamelessly allows the incarceration, subjugation and structural genocide of the people.
The very act of keeping civilians in the concentration camps and the subhuman conditions prevailing there are enough justifications for why the people shouldn't have been asked to part with their liberation fighters and to come into the hands of the genocidal government by the so-called international community and by the lopsided UN.
In this sense, the foremost of the war crimes had been committed by the UN and by all those world leaders who asked the people to come to the concentration camps and then not taking any responsibility.
Unfortunately the world is yet to devise a system to investigate and indict the UN or its dignitaries found responsible for crimes.
The UN chief Ban Ki Moon is personally responsible for underestimating the number of civilians involved, for his call of asking civilians to end up in concentration camps and for his choice of Vijay Nambiar to deal with the situation, despite knowing the 'links'.
The guilty ones also succeeded in escaping international indictment by ganging up in the UN outfits, leaving the victims helpless.
Most of the countries that ganged up don't have proper legal system in their governments for people to indict the responsible for the breach of human rights in another country. No one can consider a country like China even worthy enough for discussion in this matter. Only an international denunciation can teach a lesson to such governments.
India may claim itself the largest democracy in the world, but its legal system is largely a colonial legacy designed to protect the rulers. India's role in the war crimes and its responsibility to the victims may be provable but not indictable in the Indian legal system.
Indian ministers like Pranab Mukherjee, Chidambaram and the Congress president Sonia Gandhi have irrefutably gone on record for taking side with genocidal Colombo, for misleading the public and thus harming the civilians in Vanni, by underestimating the number far below the actuality and by claiming that the war was over by their 'effort' without affliction to civilians, when onslaughts and massacres took the life of tens of thousands and maimed and incarcerated hundreds of thousands of civilians.
But the people of India and conspicuously the people of Tamil Nadu thought that it is well fitting a red-clad Sonia Gandhi to receive red roses from Manmohan Singh on May 21 to 'felicitate' the forming of government after electoral victory.
However, there remains another set of countries by whose actions and for whose sake the Eezham Tamils were 'double penalised'.
First of all, these countries led by USA were responsible basically for tilting the military and diplomatic balance in the island in favour of genocidal Colombo by the wrong application of the policy of 'war on terror'.
This premise of these countries not only facilitated the military debacle of the Eezham Tamil nation, but also paved way for the treatment of civilians as 'terrorists' and now for their incarceration in the concentration camps. Their liberation fighters were not accorded with the status of combatants when fighting or the status of prisoners of war when captured or surrendered.
Repeated demonstrations and demands by the Eezham Tamil public to listen to reason only fell into the deaf ears of the leaders of these countries.
To the last minute, the leaders of these countries in a chorus were insisting and demanding the civilians to come to the concentration camps.
But when Colombo ended the war with carnage and incarceration of a nation sidelining these countries, and when they thought of checking it, there was a new axis of some others who wanted to teach a lesson to the US led block. Colombo benefited and the Eezham Tamils were penalised by both of them.
People wonder at the dead silence of the USA.
The world has not forgotten the speeches personally made by Obama and Hillary investing them with guilt and responsibility for what had happened later.

However, such efforts need to be carefully planned on a provenance cum context basis choosing the right target to suit the varying legal systems of countries in bringing Sri Lanka and its abettors to justice.

The 'Himalayan' blunder committed by Nehru and Krishna Menon in their China policy has been re-enacted by their descendants in the Indian Establishment nearly half a century later. A couple of years ago, writing on the crisis in the island of Sri Lanka, a TamilNet article quoted a saying in Tamil about the dog that allowed the squirrel to climb the tree (A'nil ea'ravidda naay). Now it seems that it isn't just one but many in that situation, after allowing the ethnic question in the island to be hijacked by China. India has to realise at least now that a united Sri Lanka, that too an enforced one, at the cost of its natural ally – and at the cost of ruining its leverage with it – is no guarantee to prevent China's ambitions in South Asia.
China's neighbours have been experiencing for quite a long time the brutal and unsophisticated ways of its foreign policy of naked selfishness and its choice of promoting ruthless leadership in countries where ever it wants to implement its agenda. There is no history that China ever cared for ideology or values other than its self-interest when it comes to foreign policy.
The legend goes that when JVP leaders after the 1971 insurrection were incarcerated in Fort Hammenhiel, off Kayts in Jaffna, the government soldiers ridiculed at those who were reading books in the prison, saying that Mao gave them books but gave guns to Colombo.
It is time Asian, African and Latin American countries learn from Sri Lanka of the danger of allowing China to meddle with their affairs.
The West has to realise and has to immediately come out with remedies for its wrong approach to the world through 'war on terror' that has not only weakened it, but has also paved way for the success of terrorist regimes and terrorist imperialism.
Mahinda Rajapaksa and Co., guilty of war crimes, is trying to hide behind the 'China shield' as a last resort to save its skin. But those who were shedding crocodile tears for the 'human shield in Vanni' are unable to provide even toilets to the civilians incarcerated in the concentration camps today.
Meanwhile, a diplomat of another far-eastern 'empire' who contributed immensely to the misery of Eezham Tamils, reported to have said recently that Mahinda Rajapaksa has a 'vision' for Tamils and the question of 'ethnic identity' should not rise again in the island.
The peril of far-eastern monoism and its tendency to achieve stability for self-interest by hanging on majoritarianism and by ironing out identities have to be nipped in the bud by the civilised world.
Unless the civilised world joins together and exerts itself in teaching a lesson to the perpetrators of genocide and in delivering justice to the victims, the neo-imperialists and their stooges cannot be checked breaching the norms of humanity in brutal ways in the name of 'stability'.

சீனாவில் உள்ள பெண் லின்சாங்யூ. இவருடைய 25 வயது மகள் மனநிலை பாதிக்கப்பட்டு இருந்தார். மனித தலையை சூப்பு வைத்து கொடுத்தால் மனநிலை சரியாகி விடும் என்று கருதினார்.
எனவே இவர் தனது கண வருடன் சேர்ந்து ரோட்டில் குடி போதையுடன் மயங்கி கிடந்த ஒருவர் தலையை துண்டித்து அதில் சூப்பு தயாரித்து மகளுக்கு கொடுத்தனர்.......
Chinese woman boiled man's head to cure daughter's psychiatric problems
A Chinese woman boiled a man's head in a soup because she believed it would cure her daughter's psychiatric problems, a local newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Lin Zongxiu, from the southwestern province of Sichuan, heard in 2008 that soup made with a man's head could help cure her daughter who had suffered from psychiatric problems for years, the Chengdu Commercial newspaper reported.
Lin and her husband decided to enlist the help of a man in December who knocked unconscious a drunk 76-year-old passer-by before beheading him, the paper claimed.
The couple then gave their 25-year-old daughter soup made from the man's head, and duck.
A local court sentenced the murderer to death with a two-year reprieve on Monday, and Lin was convicted of helping to destroy evidence that included the culprit's bloody clothes and shoes, the paper said.
The murderer's reprieve means that his sentence will likely be commuted to life in prison as long as he commits no further offences in the next two years.
