Come on Gotabahya, HRC Geneva Welcomes You!
Dec-31-2013
The HRC consists of 47 UN members states, who decide on matters related to human rights situations in any country. Therefore it is absurd for you to lobby Ban-Ki Moon. Neither the UN Secretary General nor the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights can stop any resolution being passed in the HRC.
Gotabhaya Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka's Secretary of Defence
It comes as no surprise that you are compelled to undertake this task. In fact, half of the lobbyists of your government are now refusing to defend you and your brothers. The other half, like Prof G. L. Peiris, Rahul Hakeem and other members of his community; a few Tamils like Douglas Devananda, Anandasangari, and Sitharthan are reluctant now to defend you all. One of your good friends Mohan Peiris who successfully lobbied North Korea during the war, is of course busy with his new portfolio!(PARIS) - In recent days, I learnt that you, Defence Secretary - Gotabaya Rajapaksa, brother of President Mahinda Rajapaksa met some dignitaries. This was to prevent any resolution coming against Sri Lanka in the forthcoming 25th session of the UN Human Rights Council - HRC in Geneva. Among the diaspora a few are not happy about your new role but I am extremely happy and welcome you.
