War crimes in Sri Lanka have been ignored too long
…ONE of the worst
atrocity crime stories of recent decades has barely registered in the world's
collective conscience. We remember and acknowledge the shame of Cambodia,
Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. We agonise about the failure to halt the atrocities
in Syria. But, at least until now, the world has paid almost no attention to war
crimes and crimes against humanity comparable in their savagery to any of these:
the killing fields of Sri Lanka in 2009.
Three
years ago, in the bloody endgame of the Sri Lankan government's war against the
separatist Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, about 300,000 civilians became
trapped between the advancing army and the last LTTE fighters in what has been
called "the cage", a tiny strip of land between sea and lagoon in the northeast
of the country.
