A member of UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon’s committee on Sri Lanka Steven Ratner has recently attended a discussion on war crimes in Sri Lanka held at the Geneva Academy affiliated to a university in Geneva, Switzerland.
The discussion had been coordinated by the Human Rights Watch and participation in it was on invitation only. However, ambassadors from many Western nations had attended the discussion.
The Sri Lankan embassy in Geneva had made several attempts to prevent the discussion from taking place after hearing about it. After they failed to stop the discussion, measures had been taken to send an emissary from the Syrian embassy to participate in the discussion uninvited in order to gather information about it.
The Syrian representative had spoken against Ratner defending the Sri Lankan government. It is also learnt that ambassadors from many Western nations have not spoken much after learning of the Syrian “spy” attending the meeting.
Diplomatic sources said that like the saying, “birds of a feather flock together,” Sri Lankan ambassador in Geneva, Tamara Kunanayagam has to now depend on assistance from other murderous regimes like Syria.
