Sir Desmond de Silva QC – had a big catch in the troubled waters!
Sir Desmond de Silva must have been very well aware of the public criticism of MahindaRajapakse to the extent of being branded as an authoritarian by none other the former head of the UNHCR Mrs Navi Pillai. He could not foresee that his report will be relevant to the efforts of the UNHCR. His engagement has fattened his purse with irreparable reputational damage to him, discredit to his legal profession and thus compounding the pains of victims of the war. His effort proves to be a heartless crusade to earn wealth.
