indigenous peoples will be speaking about this. We hope to get wide
support for this concept and proposal so that we can influence the

UN concealed carnage to keep Sri Lanka goodwill
30-05-2009 00:42
Despite massive international pressure, on Wed 27th May, the United Nations Human Rights Council refused calls to investigate allegations of war crimes by both sides. Instead it supported Sri Lanka in handling the humanitarian crisis under it's own initiative. The session had been called because of alarm over the high number of civilian casualties as well as the island's treatment of displaced Tamil civilians. The call by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay for aid agencies to be given free access to the camps so they can provide the Tamils with critical relief was also not agreed upon.Workers' Fightback: Update 4
