The Debate is on in UNHRC to censure SriLanka for the genocide of Tamils in SriLanka.
The Resolution was moved by the US and 47 countries are to vote.
China and Pakistan have decided to support SriLanka and Saudi Arabia has already spoken in favour of SriLanka.
Resettled Tamils from SriLanka are taking regular processions in Geneva to awaken the conscience of the Countries that are to vote.
India, though the Tamils killed in SriLanka belong to the ethnic group of Tamils in India,India is callously indifferent to the extent that the Foreign Minister S.M.Krishna stated that India will decide on this issue taking into consideration the relationship of India with other Countries,meaning China.
He had also said that he is yet to know full details!
Full Details of what?
It is a fact that India contributed to the war on terrorism by SriLanka and was actively involved in the final show down between SriLankan Forces and LTTE.
Paradoxically, it was India which armed the LTTE, provided sanctuary to LTTE Supremo Prabhakaran in India.
Tamil Nadu CM Late.MGR openly donated money to LTTE.
Now the equations seem to have changed.
The same India is reluctant to censure SriLanka war crimes, which is therre for every one to see.
What is Morally Right can never be sacrificed for National Interest(I doubt whether there is any Indian interest will be served by supporting SriLanka.
India must unequivocally condemn SriLanka, censure it and impose sanctions on SriLanka.
Unfortunately those killed in SriLanka are Tamils, not Bengalis or Biharis or Sikhs.
However Channel 4 is mounting pressure on UNHRC by planning to release a documentary covering the genocide.
The Genocide was telecast on 14 June 2011 and Independent carried exclusive coverage.
The new Documentary is expected to contain additional footage to prove SriLanka’s crime.
This Video can not be seen on the internet in India!

This report contains details some readers may find distressing.
Over the last two years Channel 4 News has broadcast footage that the UN says constitutes “credible evidence of war crimes” in Sri Lanka.
In the final stages of 26 years of civil war between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, and better known as the Tamil Tigers), the United Nations estimated up to 40,000 civilians were killed.
“Fernando” was operating with Sri Lanka’s 58 Division during the final assault. He has risked his life as well as the lives of his family to speak out about the horrors he witnessed. He told Channel 4 News that men, women, and children were actively targeted with small arms by government forces.

A documentary showing graphic new footage of executed civilians in Sri Lanka, including the son of the leader of the Tamil Tigers, hopes to provide conclusive evidence of war crimes by its government.
A year after screening Jon Snow’s award-winning documentary Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields about the dying days of the civil war – Channel 4 has returned to the island to uncover more evidence of alleged abuse.
The 60-minute documentary, Sri Lanka’s Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished, will be screened days before the England cricket team flies out to the country….
It comes in the wake of this week’s United States resolution to the UN Human Rights Council censuring Sri Lankan President Rajapaksa and his brother, Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaska, for ‘not adequately addressing serious allegations of violations of international law during the war in Sri Lanka’.
‘This forensic investigation reveals damning new evidence of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Sri Lankan government forces,’ said Mr Snow.
‘But it also points directly to those who may bear culpability and command responsibility for this savagery – from the military leaders who led the bloody assaults that killed civilians – to the President and his brother, the Defence Secretary, who have yet to be properly investigated and held to account.
‘It is our duty as journalists to report this evidence; it is up to the UN and the international community to initiate effective investigations and deliver justice for the thousands who lost their lives.
‘At a time when we are seeing similar carnage in Syria – this is vital work..
In the documentary, Mr Snow examines four instances of alleged war crimes using contemporaneous documents, eye witness accounts, photographic stills and trophy footage to determine how events unfolded in the final days of the war and investigate who was responsible for the carnage.
According to UN estimates, up to 40,000 civilians were killed during the conflict between the Government and rebel forces.
One of the most horrific scenes shows the bullet-riddled body of 12-year-old Balachandran Prabhakaran, son of the Tiger leader Velupillai.
Professor Derrick Pounder, a forensic pathologist at Dundee University, confirmed the boy was shot five times rather than killed in combat duty.
He said: ‘There is a speckling from propellant tattooing, indicating that the distance of the muzzle of the weapon to this boy’s chest was two to three feet or less.
‘So he could have reached out with his hand and touched the gun that killed him. After receiving this wound he would have fallen backwards and it’s then that he is likely to have received these two wounds.
‘It’s likely that the shooter was standing over him while he was lying flat on the ground after the first shot. So this is a murder. There’s no doubt about it.’
The programme has also obtained unofficial footage, which suggests that his father Velupillai sustained a massive head wound – when his body was shown on television his head was covered by a rag. Separate stills see him first in uniform, then stripped naked and finally smeared in mud.
