TamilNet 24 September 2007!
Tamil sovereignty, basis of peace talks - LTTE!
Liberation
Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE), in a statement issued Monday, urged the UN General
Assembly which has gathered for its 62nd session in New York, USA, to recognize
the concept of the sovereignty of the Tamil people and support the peace process
in accordance with this principle. The LTTE statement characterized the
confidence of some members of the International Community on Sri Lanka's latest
All Party Representative Committee (APRC) which has not brought any constructive
outcome to date, as a misplaced confidence.
The LTTE statement urged the assembly to provide appropriate opportunities to
the Tamil people to express their aspirations, as have been given to the people
of East Timor and Kosovo.
"The International Community must rein in on the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL)
to halt the military oppression, ethnic cleansing, serious human rights
violations and to accept the aspirations of the Tamil people in order to come
forward to find a resolution that is based on the right to self-determination of
the Tamil people," the LTTE statement said.
Following is the full text of the statement issued by the LTTE's political
section:
Political Wing
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam
24 September 2007
Recognize the Sovereignty of the Tamil People
- LTTE urge the 62nd session of the UNGA -
The delegation led by Sri Lanka’s President, Mahinda Rajapakse is gathered in
New York, USA, to take part in the 62nd session of the UN General Assembly. This
delegation, as in the past, will use this opportunity at the UNGA to discredit
the Tamil struggle for self-determination as terrorism and mislead the
international community to cover up Sri Lanka’s failed records on human rights,
humanitarian issues, and peace process.
At the time when world leaders are assembling at the 62nd session of the UNSG to
discuss international issues, the Political wing of the LTTE wants to focus
attention on issues related with the current conflict situation and the peace
process. As the LTTE and Tamil people are denied a fair chance to interact
directly with the International community (IC), we choose to submit this
statement.
(a) Sri Lanka and the Peace Process Since elected to office, President Mahinda
Rajapakse has been systematically weakening the IC-backed cease-fire agreement
(CFA) between the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) and the LTTE.
It has blatantly ignored all the promises that were made at the Geneva talks.
Further, the GoSL has tried to isolate the LTTE, a party to the Cease-fire and
peace talks, from the IC and thus obstructed the Tamil people from directly
interacting with the IC on their legitimate aspirations in a fair conflict
resolution process.
GoSL has made schizophrenic public statements that ranged from, the intention to
“wipe out the LTTE” and give a political solution to the Tamils, and to
“weakening the LTTE” in order to “force” it to come to the negotiating table.
The appointment of the All Party Representative Committee (APRC) to come up with
a constitutional framework for a resolution to the conflict is another classic
example of its duplicity.
This tactic of appointing ‘APRC’s and ‘Round Tables’ to resolve the national
conflict are an established deceptive habit of the successive Governments of Sri
Lanka. But some members of the international community had shown confidence in
this latest APRC and have been assuring everyone that it would come up with a
framework for the resolution of the conflict. This misplaced confidence has not
brought any constructive outcome to date.
On the other hand, the leaders of the GoSL make regular toxic comments and
victory parades on the execution of the military campaign. Cynically exploiting
the international discourse on “terrorism”, the GoSL locally justifies a war
against the Tamil nation.
The latest and most categorical evidence came at the speech given by the Defense
Secretary, Gotabhaya Rajapakse, in the presence of his brother, President
Mahinda Rajapaksa, in Trincomalee on 14 September, which was nationally
televised. He said,
"We cannot establish permanent peace in the country by winning only half or two
third of the war against terrorism.…….. President Rajapaksa cannot implement the
desired political solution to the north and east conflict unless LTTE terrorism
is defeated 100 percent.”
Two important facts can be gleaned from this statement that was clearly endorsed
by the President himself. Firstly, that the GoSL intends to intensify the war in
the north and secondly that the APRC was a façade to fool the international
community.
Indeed less than a week after making this televised statement in Sinhala, the
GoSL on the eve of its representation at the UN General Assembly has again paid
lip service to the peace talks.
Genocidal war against Tamil people:
The growing statistics of civilian casualties amply prove beyond doubt that this
war conducted by the Sri Lankan armed forces is indeed a genocidal war against
the Tamil people. Oppressive laws sanctioned by a majoritarian Sinhala
Government are legitimizing its brutality. The Emergency Regulations give cover
and impunity for unlawful arrest, torture, killing, and disposal of bodies
without investigations.
Human rights and humanitarian law violations: In the 21 months since President
Rajapakse came to power in November 2005, 1974 Tamil civilians were killed by
the Sri Lankan Armed forces and its allied paramilitaries and 842 Tamil
civilians were either arrested or abducted and then disappeared by the same
forces. Among those killed were four popular Tamil parliamentarians, Joseph
Pararajasingam, Nadaraja Raviraj (both of whom were sitting MPs), A Chandra
Nehru (a former MP) and V Vigneswaran (an MP designate elected to replace the
assassinated Pararajasingam). Over 69 of those killed during this period were
children under the age of 16. In addition to these killing of children, more
than 150 civilians, among them many children, have sought safety in the Jaffna
Human Rights Commission in fear of their life. Indeed the vast majority of the
civilians who have been killed and disappeared in this period are the Tamils.
More than 500,000 people in the Jaffna peninsula are cut off from land access to
the outside and are denied delivery of essential items by land and are kept in
an open prison for its own military purpose by the GoSL. Despite repeated
requests by the people of Jaffna and at the last Geneva talks by our side, the
GoSL has not heeded to this request and has kept the A9 route closed.
Land grab: The occupation war started by the GoSL last year has forced hundreds
of thousands of Tamil people from their land thus depriving them of livelihood.
Many civilians were killed and disappeared in the process. The displaced were
then forcefully resettled against their wishes in certain locations. Indeed the
UN High Commission for Refugees announced that it was withdrawing from the
resettlement involvement due to this flawed process. In Sampur and Muthur East,
the GoSL confiscated lands belonging to the people by declaring them as High
Security Zones and is implementing programs to create new Sinhala settlements in
these regions.
Media suppression: In order to obstruct information about its war on the
civilians that is causing unimaginable hardship for the people, the GoSL is
suppressing media freedom in many aspects. Those who operate despite such
threats are murdered. Eleven journalists have been murdered since 2005 by the
GoSL operated forces. The “Uthayan” daily from Jaffna, the voice of the most
threatened people, is continuously operating under threat. Another journalist
from the south who exposed corruption in weapon procurements of the GoSL has
also come under death threat.
Labeling ‘terrorist’: Representatives of the international community, who have
raised their voices on these horrendous violations of humanitarian norms, have
been repeatedly targeted by the GoSL with the most vicious attacks. It is
typical of the leaders of the GoSL to use the brush of “ terrorist” and “LTTE
sympathizer” on anyone who raises their voice for justice and decency in this
island. Among those who have been painted thus are, UN Under Secretary for
Humanitarian Affairs, John Holmes, UN representative for Children Affected by
Armed Conflict, Ambassador Allan Rock, and Australia’s Former Foreign Minister
and current President of International Crisis Group, Mr. Gareth Evans. They have
all been called by senior members of the GoSL as “White Tigers”.
(b) LTTE and the peace process We strongly believe that the international
community understands that the Tamil liberation struggle against oppression has
been taken up according to international norms. And it cannot be compared to
aimless, intolerant causes of violence: terrorism
Further, we expect the international community recognize that it is always the
LTTE that keeps the doors wide open for peace talks. LTTE unilaterally declared
a ceasefire in 2000, after recapturing many towns in Vanni and the major Sri
Lankan military camp in Elephant Pass, thus paving the way for the ensuing peace
efforts. Yet the then regime of President Kumaratunge did not come to the peace
table until after testing its military strength in yet another military
operation and facing further losses.
We again gave time and counsel to the new regime of President Rajapakse to take
forward the peace process. But his regime ignored all the agreements reached at
the table, and even refused to heed the humanitarian needs of the people.
Whereas the LTTE continued to respect and urge for a full implementation of the
cease-fire agreement, the Rajapaksa regime eventually embarked on its war of
occupation. It started the Mavilaru attack on the pretext of humanitarian need
despite the patience exercised by the LTTE.
This military campaign of Sri Lanka has continued ever since in the east and the
north, under variously codenamed operations, while the LTTE has continued to
restrain itself, confining only to defensive operations.
(c) Expectations of the Tamil people from the international community In the
context described above, we urge the international community:
To recognize the concept of the sovereignty of the Tamil people, and support the
peace process in accordance with this principle. To provide appropriate
opportunities to the Tamil people to express their aspirations, as have been
given to the people of East Timor and Kosovo. The Government of Sri Lanka must,
end its deceptions; halt its, military oppression, ethnic cleansing, and serious
human rights violations; accept the aspirations of the Tamil people; and come
forward to find a resolution that is based on the right to self-determination of
the Tamil people. The IC must reign in on the GoSL to bring it in line.
