HUMAN RIGHTS TERRORISTS RULE AT THE UN

THEY are now known as Human Rights Terrorists; those who attempt to covertly support various terrorist agendas hiding behind the sanctimonious banners of human rights and opposition to war crimes, by pressurizing legitimate governmental action against terrorists on their soil. The UN is widely infested with this variety and they are fed and nurtured with support from the shadowy world of corrupt politics and even worse; groups that support illegal and even terrorist objectives targetting elected governments world wide. Most prominant among such activist organizations that provide a basis for their existance are the so called Non-governmental Organizations [NGOs] which are non-regulated, raise funds unrestricted and virtually un-audited and apparently are not accountable to anyone.

The rise of these organizations and individuals as champions of human rights was phenomenal a few years ago. A troubled world awash in cash provided a convenient and lucrative feeding ground for those who could argue loudest on behalf of who ever pays the best made such organizations into sources of quick money for the unscrupulous and unemployed former civil sector employees with high level diplomatic contacts. The existance of the world's conflict zones and human misery provided them a ready platform to preach from and hold the world to emotional ransom. Perpetuating such problems and human misery now provide these people life long lucrative careers. The proof is in the speed and instant clamoring with which various NGOs flock to places of conflict and natural disasters, claiming to be international do gooders and demanding instant access. It goes without saying that any efforts to end a conflict is detrimental to the welfare of the NGOs and their carrion birds who aim to feed off human misery for the rest of their own lives.

There is also a reason for the thriving existance of such NGOs operating mainly in under-developed and conflict torn places on earth. To the western nations interested in exerting a far ranging sphere of influence, they provide a means of pressurizing local governments through various means including corruption, and thus have become an efficient control mechanism which works well in nations which could otherwise resist diplomatic channels. NGOs operating in rural parts of developing nations also gather grass roots level information and have the ability to fund and support covert action against nation states. Norwegian NGO action in rural parts of northern Sri Lanka is widely suspected of having facilitated the Tamil Tiger movement for a long time, while bringing in pressure to prevent successive Sri Lankan governments from taking effective anti-terrorism measures through various means.

Such organizations and UN based bureacrats who are apparently part of the same gravy train [I often wondered who paid off the colorful African UN official who repeatedly praised the Tamil Tiger 'rebels' for releasing child soldiers] have grown over the years to tremendous stature and today are a shadowy organization which exerts considerable pressure on the UN itself. In most cases they are able to interfere unrestricted with the activities of legitimate governments worldwide to a level which undermines the very precepts of democracy, soverignty and even poses significant threats to the national security of target nations. A few years ago during the Bush administration an excessively vocal and out of control UN human rights official was removed from her position after challenging the US's conduct of anti-terrorism operations in various parts of the world. Since then these shadowy groups seem to have shifted their focus to more vulnerable countries, especially those in the developing world, who they deem incapable of putting up a fight.

Sri Lanka has been a very attractive feeding ground for such organizations for over two decades and has suffred numerous reported and unreported ignomities as a result. While the majority of these organizations did not provide services to the extent of the funds collected by them from the UN and other donors, some have even covertly funded and supported tamil tiger terror activities for many years. Other activites such as NGO employees being involved in child molesting and pornographic movies involving minors etc have largely gone unreported, while successive governments have resorted to silently having such individuals deported without legal process to avoid antagonizing the organizations they consider too influential in the international diplomatic arena.

The apparent current raging antagonism against Sri Lanka by western (predominantly an EU phenomenon) nations needs to be understood in this context. It is not about the tamil civillians, who have been victims of terror of an extent which will perhaps be never known. That is evident from the fact that their opinion, or that of moderate tamil voices are not being considered by these chauvanistic vocal bandits who are still attempting to hijack human rights to further their own agendas. It is instead based on the fear that just as Sri Lanka set a precedent in stamping out terrorism by military force, that the island nation may also set a precedent in curtailing the activities of the shadowy organizations through which lack luster former colonials have so far managed to exert indirect control over poorer nations.

The attempts presently being made against Sri Lanka to threaten it with not only human rights violations but also war crimes lack basis in evidence. This is quite obvious from the way even the UN chief Ban speaks out from time to time. His comments on the Sri Lankan anti-terrorism operations producing 'unacceptably high number of casualties' raises the interestingly disturbing question of exactly how many casualties are acceptable in such situations to the people at the UN. To the civilized mind none should be, while to the rational, there can not be a pre-determinable quantity in the rapidly changing chaos of war. Similarly are the wild accusation of high death counts made by western media's instant military experts whose only known and provable skills are that of operating a camera or speaking sensationally in front of one. Where sensationalism is concerned such media persons are often capable of making a hot piece of dog droppings appear to be a biological weapon as long as suits their intended audience.

Similarly are the likes of Navi Pillai, an ethnic tamil from South Africa whose personal emotions are quite obviously clouding the objective discharge of her duties at UN. Her attempts to use official position to wage an assault against Sri Lankan leadership based on what apperas to be purely personal sentiment based purely on sensational journalism is another symptom of how far the UN has been hijacked by individuals prone to human rights terrorism. A recent comment by the Head of the UN Ban Ki Moon carries a subtle change in language which perhaps indicates that he too is now becoming suspicious of the activites against Sri Lanka that are being rushed at warp speed. His second comment calls for impartial investigation of 'all credible evidence' of war crimes, instead of the earlier version which lacked any reference to the credibility of accusations being thrown around. "I would like to ask the Sri Lankan government to recognize the international call for accountability and full transparency," he said. "And whenever and wherever there are credible allegations of violations of humanitarian law, there should be a proper investigation." Looks like ol' Ban Ki clearly doesn't want to be associated with the lunatic fringe, while keeping all options open for any future action.

Sri Lanka has stood firm and defended her national security, integrity and more importantly our self respect as an inclusive single nation which embraces all people who consider themselves Sri Lankan. Our youth have willingly sacrificed lives and many will continue to live with visible and invisible scars of our nation's heroic struggle to achieve a semblence of dignity. While not all among us are happy with everything that happened in the course of decimating the tyrannical tamil tigers to bring peace to the nation, it must be bourne in mind that those who now attempt to press charges against the nation's leadership intend nothing less than to take away our nation's self respect. They are definitely not our friends, nor are they friends of our enemies.

They are the enemy.
