TGTE strongly condemns the siege of the United Nations office in Sri Lanka

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) strongly condemns the siege of the United Nations office in Sri Lanka led by a senior cabinet member who is also a close ally of the Sri Lankan President. The Sri Lankan police response to this aggressive demonstration is in stark contrast to the brutal force it used against peaceful anti -government demonstrations in the past. Sri Lankan security forces are engaged in holding tens of thousands of Tamil civilians in internment camps, while the UN staff that cared about those in the camps are being threatened in this manner.

Sri Lanka Perspectives – June 2010

By Col R Hariharan

India-Sri Lanka relations

India and Sri Lanka signed seven agreements during President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s visit to New Delhi from June 8 to 11, 2010. The maiden visit after his re-election may be considered a success for the President as India barely touched upon sensitive issues like the UN advisory panel on human rights violations during the war and devolution of powers to Tamil minority in the interactions with the President and his delegation.

Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s statement that “a meaningful devolution package, building upon the 13th Amendment, would create the necessary conditions for a lasting political settlement” showed by and large India had accepted the Rajapaksa approach. India’s stress on rehabilitation issues of Tamils would indicate that its continued focus on this aspect rather than on resuming a dialogue on ethnic issues. The allocation of Rs 1000 crores as assistance to build 50,000 houses for people displaced due to the war and other assistance to improve communication and other infrastructure illustrate this.

TGTE urges UN not to be intimidated by the siege

TGTE strongly condemns the seige of the United Nations office in Sri Lanka led by a senior cabinet member who is also a close ally of the Sri Lankan President. The Sri Lankan police response to this aggressive demonstration is in stark contrast to the brutal force it used against peaceful anti-government demonstrations in the past, a media release by V.Rudrakumaran, Interim Chief Executive of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam said. Adding further the statement said that Sri Lankan security forces are engaged in holding tens of thousands of Tamil civilians in internment camps, while the UN staff who cared about those in the camps are being threatened in this manner.

TGTE challenges the Government of Sri Lanka to act responsibly by taking all necessary  steps to allow the UN to function smoothly and to fully cooperate with the UN panel.  Sri Lankan government cannot escape its responsibility for genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes by using intimidation and threat.

TGTE urges the UN not to be intimidated by this “hostage” politics of the Sri Lankan government and to proceed as planned for the panel to investigate genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes. We are prepared to offer full assistance and cooperation to the work of the UN panel.

‘Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam’ to assist UN panel

The head of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam Visvanathan Rudrakumarn has offered to co-operate with the UN panel appointed by UN Secretary General Ban ki-moon to advice him on Sri Lanka and also urged the committee to protect witnesses who come forward to testify. The Rudrakumar has urged the panel to eventually publish its findings in order to ensure complete transparency, to help launch a needed public discourse about the violations of international law and to undertake the necessary remedial measures to ensure that this shall never happen again.

“We therefore offer our full cooperation to the UN’s panel of investigators and we are willing to provide a large number of first-hand evidence to aid the panel. Despite the panel’s declaration not to visit the country, we call the UN to independently and freely gather first-hand accounts about the atrocities committed from the very population of the Vanni region, who will be able to depict the reality of the massacres,” US based Tamil activist and a head of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam Visvanathan Rudrakumarn said…………  read more

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam welcomes the UN’s appointment of a panel of experts on accountability in the island of Sri Lanka

By Mr Visvanathan Rudrakumarn – Interim Chief Executive

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) applauds the UN’s move to appoint a panel to investigate the violations of human rights and humanitarian laws in the island of Sri Lanka. We regard the UN Secretary General’s decision to appoint the panel as a crucial step towards bringing justice to the victims of human rights abuses that occurred during the last months of the armed conflict in the island of Sri Lanka.

The large-scale violations of international human rights and humanitarian law during the final stages of the war led to the death of many thousands of innocent Tamils in northern Sri Lanka. The perpetrators of these violations have yet to be held accountable for their actions. The appointment of this independent panel rightly rejects the Government of Sri Lanka’s attempts to whitewash any breaches of international law by the Sri Lankan Armed Forces, including war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide and serves as a deterrent to other states to apply the so called Sri Lankan option for national conflicts.

Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam calls to ensure the right to home

World Refugee Day: Tamils remember more than 50 years of refugee life Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam calls to ensure the right to home

As the World marks the World Refugee Day on June 20, The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) pledges to continue to work for the tens of thousands of Tamil civilians languishing in Sri Lankan military run internment camps and for the welfare of those that have departed the camps but continue to face the likelihood of arbitrary arrest, detention and torture.

It also pledges to work towards overcoming the economic and social challenges faced by these Internally displaced Persons (IDP) and

stopping the colonization schemes planned by the military to permanently keep these people out of their homes. As a body representing and unifying the Tamils around the world, we will keep alive the memories of Tamil refugee life throughout the past five decades in all our endeavors.

The torch carrying young ambassadors of the TGTE

From May 17th to 19th, 2010, Tamil elected representatives from UK, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Australia, France and Denmark Norway and Sweden came to Philadelphia, the historical land mark of USA for its independent in 1776 – for the first assembly of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) with an illuminating message to the world that the democratic and political phase of Tamil people is well and alive.

Participating as the elected representative for the State of New Jersey at the Inaugural Sessions of the TGTE was a solemn, emotional experience that also enthralled the sense of Tamil pride and hope above all. The hope which shone like the sun through morning mist on that bright spring day in Philadelphia – that our resilience is rising along, especially with the younger generation of Tamils – elected as representatives and being very much involved in the progress of  TGTE…………….  READ MORE

Hillary Clinton’s Blessing On The Farcical Commission

Hillary Clinton, the Secretary of State of the United States of America, according to published reports, gave her blessings to the farcical commission on lessons learned and reconciliation at her recent meeting with minister G L Peiris. Hillary Clinton’s speech has been given high publicity and it could be of immense value as propaganda to the government whose human rights record has been challenged both locally and internationally.

Hillary Clinton in her speech evaded all the basic issues relating to this commission. She said that similar commissions have produced good results in other countries. In talking about similar commissions, she only was using the word ‘commissions’, rather than the content of the commissions. If she was referring to similar commissions such as the truth and reconciliation commission in South Africa, or some commissions in Latin American countries, these commissions and the Sri Lankan commissions have a world of difference between them. The minister for the media, Mr. Keheliya Rambukwella himself, clearly stated that this commission is going to be nothing like that. He said that this is going to be a very indigenous commission carried out according to local tradition. Local tradition so far, judging by the commissions in the past about which very extensive studies are available, were all farcical commission…………....  READ MORE

Sri Lanka lectures to the world on the levity of its war crimes and its serious breaches of the international law

By Satheesan Kumaaran

After the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) government won the parliamentary election in April this year, Sri Lanka appointed a law professor, G. L. Peiris, as the foreign minister who, for the first time, makes his week-long official visit to the U.S starting May 23.  He the met UN Secretary, General Ban Ki-Moon, on May 24^th at the UN headquarters in New York, as well as the U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton on May 28 in Washington D.C.  The learned professor also met several other U.S. politicians and down played the serious nature of the crimes against humanity, the war crimes, and genocide. He also lectured to them that in so far as the Tamils were concerned they could not have been happier.

Peiris was rushed to the U.S. within a week of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) holding its first meeting between 17 to May 19 at the historic National Constitution Centre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the Constitution of the U.S was adopted in 1787.  William Ramsey Clark (a former US Attorney General) and Domach Wal Ruach (the Secretary General of Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM) USA) were named as keynote speakers of the inaugural event…………..  READ MORE

TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENTS THE WAY FORWARD

Quantum Leap Forward in Democracy; Invented by Tamils.

Courtesy : http://worldclasstamil.com/

I do not understand why a country like India is worried about the concept of transnational governments. If Multinational corporations are allowed to operate as Transnational Corporations providing goods and services why not a body politic taking over the social and cultural need of a community? What other forms of mechanism is available to protect the numerically small minorities?

India must grow up to free its people from feudalism and living standard disparities. Why does it bother India if the Tamil brethren in various part of the world want to provide minimum basic living facilities to people in South India? Either they should go it or let some one else do it. The request to India is if you don’t want us to do it, you do it. All we are trying do is to equalise the disparity in the standard of living. No one is interested in diving India unless the Indian people feel that they are being marginalized. That is why India has to grow up. You cannot have it both ways. Either let the people go or let the people be free. Human freedom must be translated into Human rights, if not it is bound to fail. Every citizen must have equal right to his freedom within parameters set by the people themselves……………. READ MORE

TAMIL DIASPORA DIVIDED OVER ‘TRANSNATIONAL GOVT’ – KARUNA

• Karu said that the diaspora had broken into three groups – US-based Visvanathan Rudrakumar, Norway-based Nediyavan and a London-based group.
• TGTE is “another pipe dream like Vellupillai Prabhkaran’s Eelam.”
• The Minister asserted the Tamil diaspora will not return to Sri Lanka and should create issues for their survival abroad.

Karuna, a former Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) commander who is now a Sri Lankan Minister has said the Tamil diaspora is divided and had conflicting views on the so-called ‘Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam’. The Tamil diaspora cannot make a significant impact internationally as it faces internal dissension and is now divided into three segments, Deputy Minister of Resettlement Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna said………….

Lanka cautions EU on Tigers

Sri Lanka has urged the European governments not to provide any political or symbolic support towards the LTTE’s initiative to forming a so called Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam.

Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Belgium and Luxemburg and the EU Ravinatha Aryasinha said the LTTE’s initiative to forming a so called “Provisional Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam” (PTGTE), with “country working groups” at national and regional levels in western countries was a ruse to perpetuate its terrorist struggle.

Ambassador Aryasinha observed that these bodies constituted through pseudo elections and comprising largely of known LTTE members/activists, was being used by many Tamils who have entered western countries illegally, and who would in the normal course of events be sent back home given the restoration of normalcy in Sri Lanka, to keep the pot boiling and to seek to remain relevant in countries where they have sought asylum………….

Cancellation tactics make potential candidates withdraw from TGTE elections

Four candidates, including two who had come within the first five in the poll conducted 8 days ago for the TGTE in the London South West Constituency, withdrew their candidature Monday after there were delays in announcing the results. Dr. N.Sathiyamoorthy, Mr. A.Vairavamoorthy and Mr. David Joseph, candidates sharing a common opinion said in their withdrawal letter that “even though it was hard for us to come to this decision, we feel it is necessary to make such decision to take our struggle to the next level through the TGTE, without giving any room for the Sri Lankan state or the IC to shame our Tamil Nation.” The election committee delayed the announcement of the results citing ‘complaints’ and there were behind the scene manoeuvrings by certain members of the CWG that conducted the elections, in selecting candidates without a re-poll, said a journalist who did not wish to be named…………  READ MORE

Timely Over View of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam

By S B Sri-Skanda-Rajah

Q1. What is meant by a Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam?

The Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) is a political formation to win the freedom of the Tamil people on the basis of their fundamental political principles of Nationhood, Homeland and Right of self-determination. The TGTE is a novel concept both for the Tamil people and the rest of the world. At present the Tamil people have absolutely no prospect of articulating their political aspirations or of exercising their fundamental rights in their homeland itself.

Tamil Diaspora, an integral part of the nation of Tamil Eelam, utilizing democratic means in their respective countries, will establish the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) as the highest political entity to campaign for the realization of the Tamils’ right to self-determination.

Q2: Why a Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam? What is the necessity for such a government?

The social existence of the Tamil people depends on the preservation of their distinct political, economic and cultural way of life. The Tamils must have the ability to coexist and be co-partners with other communities around the world. To achieve these goals and to control factors that pose threats to their existence, there is a need for a strong and self governing political entity. These aims were given shape:

Eelam experiments: The transnational versus local realities

The Tamil diaspora has undoubtedly been very vocal during the last stages of the military offensive and has through its extreme activism summoned widespread international attention raising the question whether there has been an oversimplification of the power of diaspora activism. Their activism took the form of media campaigns and public protests which fueled nationalistic sentiments and crippled transport systems of their host countries but essentially their activism seemed to continue the chase after an unrealistic dream at an unbelievably high cost.

R. Cheran believes that this latest obsession of the Tamil diaspora, the Transitional Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE) should be viewed positively and encouraged as an ‘experiment in democracy’[2]. But would this experiment steal another generation of Sri Lankans from an opportunity of breaking away from the time hardened vines of the failures of the past? and could it in reality be an attempt at harnessing international credibility, creating hardliners and even fuel the resurgence of terrorism?……………   READ MORE

STF arrests 2 Tamil youths in Batticaloa district for supporting TGTE

Special Task Force (STF) commandos on road patrol arrested a Tamil youth in Ka’luvaangchchikkudi and another in Kalmunai Wednesday evening claiming that the youths had mobile phones containing recent Channel-4 photos and other such film clips from some other websites, the relatives of the arrestees said. STF had told Kalmunai police where the two youths are detained that the youths are working in support of the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam (TGTE), sources in Kalmunai said.

The arrested youths are Muthurasa Karunakaran of Maariyamman Koayil Veethi in Paa’ndiruppu and Kumarasamy Nadarasa of Eruvil. STF commandos arrested the youths when they checked their identity cards as they stood talking to their friends along the road. Meanwhile, STF harassment during road patrol has increased in the districts of Batticaloa and Ampaa’rai, residents in the districts said.

The politics of transnational Tamil Eelam Govt

A significant event in Tamil transnational politics occurred a fortnight ago in historic Philadelphia city in the US state of Pennsylvania. About 70 -75 persons gathered on Monday May 17th for a three-day conclave. The venue was the National Convention Center situated on Philadelphia’s Independence Mall at 525 Arch Street.

Both the dates and location were symbolically significant. It was in Mid-May last year that the Sri Lankan Armed Forces defeated the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) militarily at the Karaithuraipatru AGA division in the North – Eastern district of Mullaitheevu.

May 17, 18 and 19 of 2009 were tragic yet important days in LTTE histor…………… READ MORE

‘Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam’ (TGTE) to Get UN Recognition Either as a UN Non-Member State or as a UN Observer

• TGTE representatives will be able to follow UN activities closely and take necessary action to advance the Tamil Elam cause.
• Once becoming a non-member-state recognized in the UN, it is up to the TGTE to proceed to become a full fledged member.
• There is little Sri Lanka can do to stop Tamil Elamists abroad.
• After the war defeat, Tamils follow a non-military confrontational approach which is very difficult to tackle.

Having the ‘Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam’  (TGTE) recognized as a non-member-state of the UN is still difficult although they are likely to make a push for that. In doing so, they will tap into legal concepts accepted by the UN including the right of a group of people to self determination. Once becoming a non-member-state recognized in the UN, it is up to the TGTE to proceed to become a full fledged member.

 The minimum they could achieve is a UN Observer status. As a UN Observer, TGTE will have the right to maintain an office at the UN Head Quarters in New York. TGTE representatives will be able to follow UN activities closely and take necessary action to advance the Tamil Elam cause. It will also equip them more to proceed with their War crimes allegations against Sri Lanka.

 State of Palestine is a good case study to understand how TGTE might move to become a UN Observer. Attention is drawn to certain key similarities that may lead to a similar outcome. 

 “At the time of the declaration, the PLO did not exercise any control over the territory in question.” (Berchovitch and Zartman, 2008). Their declaration designated Jerusalem as the capital city even though it was under the complete control of Israel.  This is akin to the total lack of control TGTE has over North and East of Sri Lanka today.  More than 100 UN member states recognized the State of Palestine as a UN Observer……….

The Guiding Principles and Program of the TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL EELAM

Attached is a list of polling stations for the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam – UK elections on Sunday, 2nd May 2010 and it is absolutely imperative that all eligible votes are cast.

There will be worldwide elections on this date.

The Guiding Principles and Program  of the TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENT OF TAMIL EELAM
1.Commitment to achieving Tamil Eelam.
2.Secularism
3.Promotion of the Welfare of the People in the homeland, the Tamil Diaspora
4.Promotion of Education in the homeland.
5.Promote Economic Welfare
6.Conduct of Foreign Relations
7.Prosecution of War Crimes, Crimes against Humanity and Genocide
8.Protect the Equality of Women and of All Tamils
9.Welfare of families of Martyrs, Former Combatants, and families affected by war.

 The Advisory Committee has been consulting many sources and taken into account various questions raised by sections of the Tamil-speaking people in preparation of this report, and during the subsequent community consulting forums. Several country level dialogue meetings have been conducted, and feedback obtained from the community.  Most of the suggestions for improvement and a number of the critical comments have been incorporated in this version of the report.

Given the fact that this initiative is a process which will continue to develop, public input will remain as an important ingredient in that development. Though the work of preparing this report is now complete, the channels of communication via printed and electronic media maintained by the International Secretariat will serve as points of contact in the immediate future.  All inputs received by the International Secretariat will be transmitted in due course to the Constituent Assembly.  It is expected that the Constituent Assembly will set up its own mechanism for public consultation as part of its constitution building process.

 Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success”
Every single Tamil should now vow to take this as their personal challenge and ACT UNITEDLY around the world as Diaspora to liberate the Tamil nation.
“You can’t separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.” -Malcolm X
 A scholar quoted that a nation can easily be defeated and captured without weapons, if the language of the nation is destroyed.
 We shall meet in Tamil Eelam soon!  Remember there are still 100,000 people in the camps and more than 12,000 boys and girls are suffering in prison!

Election Committee (TGTE Elections UK)

409 – Sivasambu Sivarajah

TGTE(trans national govt.election on 2nd may).
As it is the one & the only democratical option left for lobbying for our right for selfdetermination and grievences to the international community,it is in our hand to elect proper people. if we don’t vote also somebody is going to be selected, and if they don’t work efficiently then the tamils will live as slaves for ever.
 
so we have to use the oppertunity to elect the dedicated candidates.
My view is they should be proffesionals,mastered in language and lobbying and not so radicals but flexible to campaign and win the demands  ( be starve until we provide Buriani or be nude until we supply silk clothes- is not wanted).

Election Manifesto

SIVAPOOSAM   SUKUMAR

I shall advance measures and take such steps which are required and as necessary for the defence, protection, human rights and freedom of our people in our Home Land who are oppressed by the Sinhalese majority and others in our home land. 

I shall use my best endeavours in the capacity of a member of the TGTE to ensure and safeguard their rights by making sure that the TGTE will take the responsibility to coordinate all the “Tamil Groups” that exist in the world and to make a “Common Political Force” to achieve the above. 

In this regard, I shall in the capacity of a member of the TGTE use my maximum efforts and means to bring the unity of Tamil Community of the World; with an aim to bring the quality of live that was lost by our people in our Home Land and in this regard to achieve the following objectives:  

The Proposed Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam We have one dream, let’s work as one to achieve it!

The Proposed Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam

We have one dream,

let’s work as one to achieve it!

The proposed project to establish the Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam is by far the best, most hopeful and exciting thing that has happened to Tamils in a long while. It gives us hope at a time when our kith and kin are being illegally held in detention camps under appalling conditions and subjected to starvation and medical neglect.

 

It gives us hope at a time when Tamil families are being torn apart, children and women are being subjected to sexual abuse, and young adults are being tortured and even unlawfully killed by the Sri Lankan security forces. It gives us hope at a time when our lands are being illegally expropriated by the rapacious Sri Lankan state and Sinhalese from distant places are being illegally settled there to change the demography of the North and East of the island.

 

It gives us hope at a time when Buddhist structures are being built everywhere in an orgy of triumphalism. In other words the Sinhalese government of Sri Lanka is not only acting illegally and without limits but is doing so with impunity…………….. read more
