TNA slams delay in U.N. report’s release
Sri Lanka’s main Tamil party has expressed dismay over the U.N.’s decision to delay a report on the human rights situation in the country saying it amounted to denial of justice. Denouncing the decision by the U.N. to defer its report by six months, Tamil National Alliance’s Northern Provincial Councillor M. K. Shivajilingam has written to U.N. Human Rights Commissioner Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein, saying that the Tamil people sincerely hope the U.N. system will not delay or deny them full and complete justice. “The Tamil people had been anxiously waiting with high hopes for the release of the report, but this unexpected delay has caused serious concerns to the victimised Tamil population, and we strongly believe justice delayed is justice denied,” Mr. Shivajilingam said in the letter hoping that the report will be duly released in September and the U.N. judicial proceedings will follow without any further delay. “Instead, it will use the time and space to hoodwink the international community again, and try to derail the U.N. process of accountability and justice to the Tamils,” Mr. Shivajilingam said.
