The Communist Party of India (Marxist) central committee leader T K Rangarajan stated that his party was against an international inquiry into alleged human rights allegations against the Sri Lankan Government during the offensive against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), reports Daily News. When asked whether the CPM had abandoned the principle of self-determination rights for nationalities, he said a decision should not be imposed on the Sri Lankan people from outside. It was for the people of the island to decide. When asked whether people's wish should be ascertained from a referendum, he rejected it.

The draft resolution calls on the Sri Lankan Government to implement the constructive recommendations in the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) report and take all necessary additional steps to fulfill its "relevant obligations and commitment to initiate credible and independent actions to ensure justice, equity, accountability and reconciliation for all Sri Lankans." The resolution welcomes the constructive recommendations made by the LLRC in its report but, it also notes with concern that the report does not adequately address serious allegations of violations of international humanitarian law.

Media spokesperson for Sri Lankan Australians in Melbourne, Nagesha Wickramasuriya said that separatist activists and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) supporters are attempting to lobby support from federal Parliamentarians in Australia into making a statement and to pressurize the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to take action against Sri Lanka, reports Daily News. These activists are trying to mislead politicians across the globe and are posing as human rights activists. These elements have also started a fund raising campaign- One dollar per week. The amount of money they are collecting annually is staggering. "There is a misconception amongst some Sri Lankans that the LTTE have been finished. But internationally they are there in a big way. They have been defeated militarily but their activists are around the world so the terrorist problem is not over. They are active in American, Canada, France, and London and even in Australia," said Wickramasuriya.

Sri Lanka's Permanent Representative to the United Nations in Geneva Ambassador Tamara Kunanayakam said it will fight the resolution submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Council by the United States against Sri Lanka over alleged war crimes "to the very last minute." "What, in fact, are the US trying to tell us with their draft resolution? They are not saying that our LLRC report is bad. They are not saying that there are gross and systematic violations of human rights in Sri Lanka. What they are saying is that they don't have confidence that we will implement the recommendations. They are judging our intentions, not the ground reality!" the Ambassador added.

A Catholic movement has condemned the call by a group of Tamil Catholic priests from Sri Lanka's North for an international investigation on the alleged war crimes and violations of humanitarian law during the final stages of war. The fact that a group of 31 Tamil Catholic priests from the North including the Bishop of Mannar Rayappu Joseph has sent a letter to the UNHRC calling for an international investigation to address the accountability issues that they say Sri Lanka's LLRC did not address in its report, has polarized the Catholic community in Sri Lanka as Sinhala nationalist groups have interpreted it as an attack against the country.

Sri Lanka’s ambassador to Germany, Sarath Kongahage, said that the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and its sympathisers are fast fading in Germany, reports Daily News. Several attempts made by them to raise funds by holding campaigns have failed. They wanted to hold a mass protest on Sri Lanka’s Independence Day on February 4 and tarnish the image of Sri Lanka. However, their plans were an utter failure as only eight people turned out for the event, he added. The Sri Lankan community in Germany is around 60,000, of which around 8,000 are Tamils.

President Mahinda Rajapaksa on March 10 pointed out that certain countries, which remained silent during the 30 years of unspeakable terror unleashed by the LTTE with suicide bombs and mass murders of civilians, are now trying to prosecute Sri Lanka for human rights violations after the Government eliminated the terror, according to Colombo Page. Noting that some members of the international community are thinking of human rights only when the killings no longer take place, the President said after defeat of terrorism killings of youth from all communities have stopped and the people are once again able to live freely in an undivided country that belongs to everyone.

Reports that the mystery around the last days of the assault on LTTE deepened on March 12 after a documentary filmmaker claimed to have a "chilling piece of footage" showing the bullet-ridden body of the son of its slain chief Prabhakaran. Prabhakaran's 12-year-old son Balachandran's body is shown stripped to the waist and with five bullet holes to the chest. The footage dating from May 18, 2009 will be broadcast on March 14 in a Channel 4 film--Sri Lanka's Killing Fields: War Crimes Unpunished--a sequel to the controversial investigation broadcast in 2011 which accused both the LTTE and the Sri Lankan Government of war crimes and crimes against humanity, The Independent said. However, the authenticity of the video is unknown.

The SLA is considering making a documentary film about Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Vellupillai Prabhakaran’s death. Army Commander Jayasuriya told that a film would be made to explain to the international community how Prabhakaran died in the battlefield.

"The film will be made so that the real story of Prabhakaran's death is known to the international community. It will depict what really took place and happened," he added.

External Affairs Minister G L Peiris on March 13 stated that the international community does not have any legitimate right to involve itself in the national reconciliation process in Sri Lanka, when the Sri Lankan Government itself is committed to it, reports Daily News. He said that the international community submitted a resolution against Sri Lanka within a strikingly short period, while Sri Lanka needs ample time to resolve the issues which arose during the 30 year conflict. He added that out of the 297,000 displaced persons received by the Army, 97 per cent have been resettled and it was not just physical resettlement. He also added that the economic growth rate in the North and East is 22 percent while that of the entire country is 8 percent; clearly showing that Government is well on its way towards reconciliation and rehabilitation of the Tamil people.
