E pili ana i ka 43^rd ʻO ka UN Human Rights Council ka mea i hoʻopau nui loa i ka lā Malaki 13 ma kahi o Sri Lanka ma ka papa kuhikuhi, ke ʻike nei ke kaiāulu honua i ka mea a ke kaiāulu Tamil i kamaʻāina loa - ʻo ka mālama ʻole ʻana o Sri Lanka i nā ʻaelike kūkākūkā. Ma ka lā 26 Pepeluali, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Sri Lanka i ka hoʻolaha hoʻowahāwahā ʻaʻole manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia e hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā hoʻohiki i hana ʻia ma 2015's UN Human Rights Council Resolution 30/1 a me kāna mau ʻōlelo hoʻoholo hope ʻelua, 34/1 a me 40/1, i manaʻo ʻia e paipai i ka hoʻoponopono a me ka hoʻololi. ka pono. ʻAʻole naʻe i kahaha ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ke kaiāulu Tamil i hoʻāʻo pinepine e haʻi mua i ka honua no ka hoʻopunipuni a Sri Lanka a me kāna mau hana lohi.

ʻO ka Australian Tamil Congress (ATC), ka British Tamils Forum (BTF), ka Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC), ka Irish Tamils Forum a me ka United States Tamil Action Group (USTAG) e hōʻike i ko mākou hopohopo i ka honua #COVID19 maʻi maʻi a hāʻawi i kā mākou kākoʻo ʻole ʻia i nā hana a puni ka honua e hoʻopaʻa i ka laha, hoʻōla i ka poʻe ʻeha, a hāʻawi i ke kōkua no nā hemahema socioeconomic.

Mai ke kūʻokoʻa ʻana mai ka Pelekania i ka makahiki 1948, ua pilikia nui ka poʻe Tamil ʻōiwi ma ka ʻĀkau a me ka Hikina o Sri Lanka i nā kuʻikahi haʻihaʻi a me nā ʻaelike ma waena o ke alakaʻi Tamil a me nā aupuni i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo Sinhala Buddhist - nā ʻaelike i manaʻo ʻia e hōʻoia i nā pono kanaka no Tamil a me ka pale. ke kaiāulu ma ko kākou ʻāina hānau.

ʻAʻole hiki i nā lālā o ka UNHRC ke ʻae i kēia ʻano hoʻowahāwahā e hoʻomāinoino i ka hilinaʻi o ke kula. Pono nā moku'āina e hoʻomanaʻo i ka "hōʻike piha o ka hana a ka United Nations i ka wā o ke kaua ma Sri Lanka a me ka hopena, e pili ana i ka hoʻokō ʻana i kāna mau kauoha kōkua kanaka a me ka palekana" - Charles Petrie Report's detailing of the failure in 2009 of the Responsibility to Protect ʻO ke kaiāulu Tamil, ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia i ka hōʻino ʻana i nā kuleana kanaka nui (e like me ka hōʻoia ʻana e ka OISL hōʻike o 2015) e nā pūʻali palekana o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Sri Lanka i hana me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole.

E pili ana i nā hewa atrocity nui i hana ʻia e Sri Lanka i ka wā a ma hope o ke kaua, ke koi nei kā mākou hui i ka hana e hana ʻia e nā ʻāina kūpono e like me ka ad hoc international criminal tribunal ma Sri Lanka. Ke kuhikuhi nei i "ka hiki ʻole o ka hoʻolauleʻa kūloko a me nā ʻano hana kuleana," ʻewalu mau pūʻulu kuleana kanaka honua me ka Amnesty International a me Human Rights Watch i hoʻopuka i kahi ʻōlelo hui i ka 43^rd ʻO ka hālāwai kūkā (February 20. 2020) e kāhea ana i ka ʻaha kūkā "e hoʻokumu i kahi International Accountability Mechanism ma Sri Lanka."

Ua hoʻopuka ka International Commission of Jurists i kahi ʻōlelo ma ka Human Right Council ma Pepeluali 28, 2020 e ʻōlelo ana:

Ma ka UN Human Rights Council, ua koi ka ICJ i kēia lā i ka hana hou o ka honua e hōʻoia i ka hoʻopono a me ke kuleana no nā hewa ma lalo o ke kānāwai honua ma Sri Lanka.

ʻO ka ʻōlelo, i hāʻawi ʻia i ka wā kūkākūkā o nā mea hou a me nā hōʻike mai ke Komikina Kiʻekiʻe no nā Pono Kanaka, heluhelu ʻia penei:

"Ke mihi nui nei ka ICJ i ka haʻalele ʻana o ke Aupuni Sri Lanka i ke kākoʻo no ke kaʻina hana ma lalo o nā hoʻoholo 30/1 a me 40/1. Kākoʻo ʻo ICJ i ka ʻōlelo hui i heluhelu ʻia e IMADR.

Ua hōʻike ka ʻōnaehana kānāwai a me nā ʻoihana hoʻokolokolo Sri Lanka no nā makahiki he mau makahiki i ka hiki ʻole ke hoʻoponopono i ka ʻōnaehana a paʻa i ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole ʻia no nā hewa ma lalo o ke kānāwai honua i hana ʻia e ka pūʻali koa a me nā pūʻali palekana.[1] ʻO nā ʻōlelo hoʻohiki a ka Pelekikena hou e pale aku i ka pūʻali koa mai ke kuleana, a me nā koho ʻoihana kiʻekiʻe o nā poʻe i hoʻopiʻi pono ʻia no nā hewa ma lalo o ke kānāwai honua, e hoʻonui i ka hopohopo.

E like me kā ke Komisina Kiʻekiʻe i hoʻomaopopo ai,[2] ʻo ka hiki ʻole ke hoʻoponopono piha i ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā ʻoihana hiki ke alakaʻi i ka ʻoi aku o ka uhaki pono kanaka.

Ua hōʻole mau ka poʻe Tamil i nā kaʻina hana hoʻolauleʻa e hōʻole ʻole i ka hoʻopono a me ke kuleana, a ʻike ʻia ʻaʻole hiki ke hilinaʻi ʻia ka hoʻopono a i ʻole ke kaʻina hana kuleana i waiho ʻia i nā hale Sri Lanka wale nō. ʻO ka ʻae ʻana i ke ʻano hoʻoponopono hoʻokolokolo "hybrid" ʻāina a puni ka honua i ʻike mua ʻia e ka ʻōlelo hoʻoholo 30/1 ua hāʻule loa i ka mea e pono ai ke kūlana.

Inā ʻimi ke Aupuni i kēia manawa e haʻalele i kēlā kuʻikahi, nā kaʻina hana maʻemaʻe honua, inā ma mua o ka ICC a i ʻole ma o ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kekahi ʻano hana kuleana honua e ka ʻAha, a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka mana āpau e nā mokuʻāina ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia wale nō nā koho i koe no ka mālama ʻana i ka pono. koi ʻia e ke kānāwai o ka honua a he mea nui i nā kaʻina hana hoʻolauleʻa hilinaʻi no Sri Lanka.

I kēia mau manawa i hala iho nei, ua ʻike mākou i nā hana like ʻole ma Myanmar no ka luku ʻana i ka Rohingya. Ke noʻonoʻo nei i ka moʻolelo o ka Rajapaksas a me kā lākou mau hana koho balota ma hope o ka pelekikena e like me ka hoʻouka kaua wikiwiki ʻana o ka hoʻokele mokuʻāina ma ke ʻano he mea mua e alakaʻi iā Sri Lanka i kahi mokuʻāina mākaʻi, noi mākou i ke kaiāulu o ka honua e hoʻonohonoho i nā ʻano hana honua kūikawā no ka mālama ʻana. o nā hōʻike ma ke ʻano he hana mua koʻikoʻi.

Ua lōʻihi ka lōʻihi o ka hāʻawi ʻana iā Sri Lanka ma mua o ʻumi mau makahiki e hoʻokō ai i kāna mau kuleana, ʻaʻohe hopena. Ua hōʻike ke aupuni o Sri Lanka a me kona mau ʻaha hoʻokolokolo i ko lākou makemake ʻole e ʻae i ke koʻikoʻi o kēia mau hewa, a ʻaʻole wale e ʻae i ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole ʻia no ka poʻe hana hewa akā e uku pū nō hoʻi iā lākou me nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe i loko o ke Aupuni o kēia manawa a me ka hoʻoponopono kīwila, ʻoiai ʻo Tamil i hoʻopaʻi ʻia. ka poe i pakele, a ehaeha ko lakou poe aloha.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

If the Government seeks now to abandon even that compromise, purely international processes, whether before the ICC or through creation of another international accountability mechanism by the Council, and the exercise of universal jurisdiction by other States, are the only remaining options for securing the justice required by international law and indispensable to any credible reconciliation process for Sri Lanka.
ʻO ka Australian Tamil Congress (ATC), ka British Tamils Forum (BTF), ka Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC), ka Irish Tamils Forum a me ka United States Tamil Action Group (USTAG) e hōʻike i ko mākou hopohopo i ka honua #COVID19 maʻi maʻi a hāʻawi i kā mākou kākoʻo ʻole ʻia i nā hana a puni ka honua e hoʻopaʻa i ka laha, hoʻōla i ka poʻe ʻeha, a hāʻawi i ke kōkua no nā hemahema socioeconomic.
As regards to the mass atrocity crimes committed by Sri Lanka during and after the war, our organizations urge action to be taken up by appropriate international jurisdictions such as an ad hoc international criminal tribunal on Sri Lanka.
