"Individuals have international duties which transcend the national
obligations of obedience. Therefore, (individual citizens) have the
duty to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring.”
- Nuremberg War Crime Tribunal, 1950
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world.
Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
- Margaret Mead
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything but I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do the something I can do.
What I can do, I should do. And what I should do, by the Grace of God, I will do.
– Edward Everett Hale (1822 – 1909)
( April 17, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) The conflict arose, in my humble opinion, due to the turmoil in the country. This conflict is often portrayed as a bi-polar conflict between the Sinhalese majority and the Tamil minority by-passing the substantial minorities like the Muslims and Upcountry Tamils. This sad state of affairs has to be changed. All efforts must be taken to change the mindset of ‘dividing’ the people as “majorities” and “minorities” not by words but by deeds. It is a well-known fact that these “majorities” and “minorities” are living together in many parts of the country as kith and kin, helping each other in times of need.
