Bravo Sharma! You And Your Self-Wealth Meeting In Colombo
S. V. Kirubaharan
In my last article about the then impending Commonwealth meeting, written in December 2012 and entitled “Is the Sri Lankan Graveyard best venue for a Commonwealth meeting?” I stated:
“When Sri Lanka violates international human rights and humanitarian law including Commonwealth declarations and refuses to take meaningful action,will CHOGM turn a blind eye to Sri Lanka and hold their meeting there?………… I hope the Commonwealth Secretary General will not be accused, like the UN Secretary General has been of failing in his action to discipline Sri Lanka, for failing to apply the internationally accepted principles and standards of human rights, democracy, the rule of law, and good governance.”
Despite all the warning protests made, even at the highest levels by a Head of State, the 23rd Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) took place in Sri Lanka from 15 to 17 November 2013. This could only happen with the help of the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Mr Kamalesh Sharma and the propagandist advocates of Rajapaksa’s government – AusLanka (Australia).
We take note of what happened during the CHOGM in Sri Lanka. Do you and AusLanka now feel it was all worth the damage inflicted on the long-held and cherished Commonwealth values? Don’t you feel that you and AusLanka are the root cause of that damage?
It is so obvious that the track record of Sri Lanka is 100 times worse than countries which have been suspended in the past. Once again, just to remind Mr Kamalesh Sarma and AusLanka:
It was well reported internationally that the President and his Government violates the liberty of individuals, denies equal rights for all citizens, practices vicious racial discrimination, rejects genuine and honest political negotiations and practices nepotism.
