SL wants Fox to take up UNICEF 'missing children' report with LTTE
The government expects the UK to take up the issue of child combatants with the UK-based Global Tamil Forum (GTF) and other LTTE front organisations operating in the country.
Those demanding an international probe into accountability issues in Sri Lanka couldn't ignore the child combatants' issue. Their position is that the LTTE front organisations, which had raised funds overseas to procure armaments, should be held accountable for war crimes committed by the LTTE's military leadership.
An investigation by Dutch police and judiciary has established a direct link between the LTTE fighting cadre in Sri Lanka and its sponsors in the Netherlands, Norway and the US. Sri Lanka supported the Dutch investigation by giving investigators access to confidential data and Kumaran Pathmanathan aka KP. Since KP was arrested in Malaysia and brought to Colombo in August 2009, the Netherlands has been the first country to gain access to Velupillai Prabhakaran's successor.
The government on Saturday (9) handed over a UNICEF report, which dealt with post-war efforts to locate missing children in the Northern and Eastern Provinces to Dr. Liam Fox, MP, UK Secretary of State for Defence, when the visiting Minister paid a courtesy call on President Mahinda Rajapaksa at Temple Trees.
External Affairs Minister Prof. G. L. Peiris, Secretary to the President Lalith Weeratunga and Defence Secretary Gotabhaya Rajapaksa attended the meeting. Defence Secretary Rajapaksa handed over a copy of the UNICEF report to Dr. Fox. The British politician was here to deliver the fifth Lakshman Kadirgamar memorial lecture in Colombo. Defence Secretary Rajapaksa received the UNICEF report late last week.
The UNICEF inquiry conducted in collaboration with the Northern Provincial Department of Probation and Child Care and Government Agent of Vavuniya has revealed that the majority of complaints received from Tamil speaking parents related to children forcibly recruited by the LTTE.
Of 676 complaints regarding missing children, about 64 per cent related to ex-LTTE child soldiers.
UNICEF says it launched the project in Dec. 2009 in response to a spate of tracing requests received since the conclusion of the conflict in May 2009.
In May 2009, Dr. Fox hailed Sri Lanka's triumph over the LTTE when he held talks with External Affairs Minister Bogollagama and Defence Secretary Rajapaksa on the sidelines of the 8th Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Fox is on record as having said that the LTTE's defeat proved to the world that terrorism could be eliminated.
