UN Panel of Advisors / Serious breach of UN Charter – MP Rajapakse [April 26 2011]

By appointing a panel and publishing a purported report adverse to the sovereignty of Sri Lanka you have made serious and blatant breaches of the Charter of the United Nations. By your conduct you have virtually arrogated to yourself the powers of the Security Council of the United Nations, UNP Parliamentarian Wijedasa Rajapakse said.

In a letter to the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, MP Rajapakse said preparing of such a report may result in unrest among the public and disrupt the economic stability of the country.

"While the misunderstanding and distrust among communities diminishing and when the pall of gloom is fading away, your initiative to appoint a panel and publish a report adverse to Sri Lanka will negate all meaningful efforts, thereby throwing everything into disarray.

Any disruption of the stabilizing efforts to foster good relations among communities, and to revive the economy of the country have to be attributed to you and you will be held responsible for the possible calamitous situations likely to occur in the future in Sri Lanka," the MP said.
