  • If President Trump Says AMERICA FIRST How Come US Citizen Rudrakumaran Is ‘Prime Minister’ of a “Government” Called TGTE and Aspiring to Create Tamil Eelam?
    9/15/2020 LankaWeb – If President Trump says AMERICA FIRST how come US citizen Rudrakumaran is ‘Prime Minister’ of a “Government” called TGTE and aspiring to create Tamil Eelam? HOME | CLASSIFIED | FORUM | POLITICS | TERRORISM | VIEWS If President Trump says AMERICA FIRST how come US citizen Rudrakumaran is ‘Prime Minister’ of a “Government” called TGTE and aspiring to create Tamil Eelam? Posted on February 5th, 2017 Shenali D Waduge The President of the United States of America has clearly indicated to the world that his administration’s policy will be America First & Americans First. However, US citizen Rudrakumaran who incidentally continues to be banned by the Government of Sri Lanka since April 2014 incorporating the UN Security Council Resolution 1373 is ‘Prime Minister’ of LTTE front Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam and legal counsel for US banned LTTE. There is only one US President and he is Donald Trump. There is no such provision for Prime Minister Rudrakumaran in any US constitution nor provision for a government called TGTE and a state called Tamil Eelam. US citizens are enjoying US privileges not to be creating governments in the sky out of the money that should go into the welfare of the US state. These are important issues that the FBI and US state authorities need to seriously investigate. Many of the LTTE lobbies had been influencing Obama-Clinton Administration & even UN/UNHRC. During the run-up to the elections pro-Eelam Tamil political party TNA members were even dashing over 1000 coconuts to ask the Gods to make Hillary Clinton the President.

  • Human Rights Half Measures: Avoiding Accountability in Post-War Sri Lanka
    Human Rights Half Measures: Avoiding Accountability in Post-War Sri Lanka I. INTRODUCTION Insincere human rights behavior is a common feature of the international system. Although there is an increasingly detailed system of obligations, enforcement is imperfect, creating opportunities to evade the rules. States sign onto treaties with which they never intend to comply, knowing that they are unlikely to suffer penalties. They participate in institutions whose dictates they plan to ignore.1 These dynamics have led many to conclude that human rights commitments are simply “cheap talk”.2 But such “talk” is not always cheap. States routinely engage in human rights behavior that incurs significant costs but doesn’t meet their obligations. Some of these actions might be explained as inadequate good faith efforts,3 but often they are undertaken by states with clear preferences not to comply. For example, facing massive international outcry after security forces killed more than 150 civilians at an opposition rally in 2009, Guinea’s ruling junta created a commission of inquiry to investigate. The body comprised 31 commissioners, including four foreign judges who had to be flown in to take part, as well as a team of police investigators. The move was extremely unpopular with the security sector, who feared taking the blame for the massacre. Yet even as it incurred the risk of a coup by creating the commission, a move that might suggest a genuine commitment to improving human rights, or at least to selling international audiences on its sincerity, the regime continued to recruit militias and openly build up repressive capacity.
