Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), who recently led 26 Members of Congress in a letter asking the President of the United States to explain the legal justification for targeted killings, today released the following statement:
24 November 2012
Mr. Ban Ki-Moon
Secretary-General, United Nations
New York, NY, US
Dear Ban Ki-Moon:
Re: United Nations (UN) has failed in its mandate to protect civilians in the last months of Sri Lanka’s battle against LTTE terrorists – The “ Charles Petrie Report” is leaked to the Media.
This reminds me of Harry Belafonte’s song, Ban Ki-Moon
‘There are holes in UNs buckets, dear Ban Ki, dear Ban Ki, there are holes in UN buckets as Sri Lanka Reports get leaked;
Then plug them with Lanka’s ‘JUST BUG-OFF GLUE’ dear Ban Ki, dear Ban Ki, then plug them with Lanka’s ‘JUST BUG-OFF GLUE’ dear Ban Ki, as this very well might help!’
The responsibility for the illegality/unconstitutionality of 13A should be collectively borne by the then Supreme Court and the then Parliament.
Sri Lanka Freedom Party organiser for the Batticaloa District Arun Tambimuttu like his late father, assassinated TULF parliamentarian Sam Tambimuttu stands up for his convictions and does not mince his words when he says that the 13th Amendment and the provincial councils need to go as the time has come to evolve a more practical system of devolution and administration in their place.
