Ganesan assails Sri Lanka's rights record
[TamilNet, Saturday, 15 March 2008, 14:08 GMT]
Mano Ganesan, Leader of Western People’s Front and Convener of Civil Monitoring Commission (CMC), in a meeting with visiting officials of the European Union, pointing to the culture of impunity prevailing in Sri Lanka, rejected Colombo's proposal to appoint a SAARC commission to monitor rights in Sri Lanka as a "ploy to buy time," and flayed Judge Tilakaratne's investigation into disappearances as an exercise to "deceive the nation and the international community." Judge Tilakaratne had earlier commented that most people listed as disappeared and abducted have either "returned home or gone abroad," the press release issued by Ganeson Saturday said.

Full text of the press release follows:

Discussions centered on the prevailing political and human rights conditions in the country. CMC Convener Mano Ganesan explained to the officials that now the government is coming out with proposals to establish a parliamentary select committee on Human Rights and a new IIGEP with eminent persons drawn from SAARC countries. This is in view of the withdrawal of the IIGEP and the increasing concern on the deplorable human rights conditions in the country and subsequent demand for meaningful international participation in monitoring human rights abuses in Sri Lanka.

We reject the new government proposals as another set of ploy to buy time. We are compelled to take this stand as we have gone through many committees and commissions and many state agencies established by this government in the name combating human rights violations. The long list begins with the formal National Human Rights Commission, the Mahanama Tilakaratne Commission, the Special Presidential Commission, the IIGEP and a government Ministerial committee. In addition there are the special police units and the Ministry for human rights. None of these have helped to improve the human rights conditions in this country.

Retired Judge Mahanama Tilakaratne is supposed to have handed over his report to the government. But it has not been made public despite our repeated demands to do so. We have noted a tone of deliberate attempt in the comments made by Mahanama Tilakaratne. He puts the domestic disappearances and the systematic enforced disappearances
