LTTE used terror among its own people and also against others in its quest for Tamil Eelam. But now LTTE is dead! The Government of Sri Lanka has defeated the Tamil Tigers. Whether Tamils in Sri Lanka deserve an Eelam or not, I have no idea. What I learnt, however, is that Sri Lankan army violated human right in all sorts of ways to end the bloody conflict. And that I cannot endorse. All sorts of human rights violation, whether by state or non-state actors, I condemn.
It is for this reason that I believe India should vote in favour of the resolution on Sri Lanka at United Nations Human Right Council. Whether DMK/AIADMK put pressure on the Government of India or not, my view is that India should vote in favour of the resolution. If a team to investigate on the human right violation is formed, and after impartial investigation if Sri Lankan government officials are found to be guilty, proper sentence should be given to those who are guilty. Such an example would prove successful in serving as a deterring factor even in future for other nation-states that may violate human right.
