The Sri Lanka Government on May 5 requested the United Nations (UN) to include the definition for the term ‘terrorist’ or ‘terrorism’ in its Charter and said that the absence of such a definition had led to contradictory positions adopted by the UN system, reports Daily News. Elaborating upon the argument on this, Youth Affairs Minister Dullas Alahapperuma said that UNICEF which is a sister organisation of the UN, on one hand stressed on violation of human rights by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam(LTTE) in the recruitment of child soldiers while on the other hand the controversial Darusman report described the outfit as a disciplined organisation. Alahapperuma noted that at present there was no definition for “terrorist” or “terrorism” in the UN Charter even after 65 years of its signing and this was the appropriate time to include this definition in the Charter.

Sri Lankan Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa on May 31 said that one key factor that assured the success of the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militants that ended in May 2009 was “the success in managing…international pressures”, particularly India. Recalling an instance when India had interfered to reverse gains made by the Army, Gotabaya Rajapaksa said that in 1987, the enormously successful Vadamarachchi Operations had pushed the LTTE to the brink of defeat. “However, these operations could not be sustained because the Indian Government intervened. The primary problem in 1987 was that the relationship between the two countries had not been managed very effectively. But in the final phase of the war, President Mahinda Rajapaksa went out of his way” to keep New Delhi briefed about all the developments. He understood that while other countries could mount pressure on us through diplomatic channels or economic means, only India could influence the military campaign,” he said.
