“Accountability for war crimes and crimes against humanity must be upheld to foster real peace.”

Your Excellency,

We, the undersigned peace loving people most respectfully request you to establish an Independent International Mechanism to investigate the War Crimes, Crimes against Humanity in Sri Lanka without any further delay. Such an inquiry has become imperative in the light of the recent UN advisory panel report that has found credible allegations of civilian deaths, which it blamed mostly on the Mahindha Rajapakse government. According to the U.N. report tens of thousands of civilians were killed and war crimes committed at the end of Sri Lanka's war in May 2009 against Tamil separatist militants.
These included usage of banned chemical weapons, cluster bombs, rampant torture, summary executions and sexual abuse of captured women. The Tribunal also concluded that the charges of genocide require investigation considering evidences of systemic violence against the Tamils, even after the war was said to be over, strongly supported the veracity of this charge.
Predictably, Sri Lankan officials have dismissed the UN advisory panel report and the government of Mahinda Rajapakse is busy stirring up fascist and nationalist sentiments against the world body. The regime has also sought the help of China and Russia, countries that have a consistent record of human rights violations themselves, to defend them internationally against prosecution. Mahinda Rajapaksa and Gothabaya Rajapksa cannot be part of the reconciliation process; they can only part of the accountability process.
There fore we kindly request that;
1) That there should be an independent international enquiry into charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide against the Sri Lankan state;
2) That those in the Sri Lankan Armed Forces and establishment found guilty should be punished as per international law and in proportion to the gravity of their crimes;
3) That the UN report should not be used as an excuse to orchestrate any form of violence against the Tamils in Sri Lanka;
Thank you.
Sincerely,

[Your name]
