UN: Sri Lanka failed to meet appointments investigate war crimes

Colombo (Reuters)-Sri Lanka has failed to fulfill promises to investigate serious human rights violations and allegations that thousands of civilians were killed in the final stages of the ethnic war in that country, the UNITED NATIONS said in a report.

HUMAN RIGHTS experts report that found that an investigation by the local government is not convinced and is not independent and impartial nature.

The report, seen by AFP on Wednesday, presented to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Monday.

"The steps being taken to investigate allegations of serious violations of HUMAN RIGHTS crimes are not conclusive and no independent and impartial nature," the report said.

The document, drawn up by experts who visited Sri Lanka in September, called on the Government to form a "truth search mechanisms" to "transitional justice" in a country that recently rose from nearly four decades of ethnic conflict.

According to the document, the severe human rights violations, including the killing of 17 aid workers from France charitable foundation in August 2006, was not investigated even though the Government has promised to immediately bring the perpetrators to justice.

Also there is no transparency in the investigation of claims about military killings without trial during the final stages of the war.

Sri Lankan troops launched a major offensive to crush the Liberation Tigers of Tamil rebel group Eelam ('S LTTE) in 2009 which ended the nearly four-decade ethnic war in the country.

However, the victory over Sri Lanka'S LTTE forces spark the widespread allegations of human rights violations.

In September 2011, Amnesty International based in London, quoting eyewitnesses and aid workers who said, at least 10,000 civilians killed in the final phase of the military offensive against Tamil Tiger guerrillas in May 2009.

In April 2011, the panel report was UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted the allegations of war crimes committed on both sides.

Sri Lanka criticised UN Commission report as "preposterous" and said the report was one-sided, and relies on subjective evidence from anonymous sources.

Sri Lanka rejects call for international investigation of war crimes and insisted that no civilians are being targeted by Government forces. However, HUMAN RIGHTS groups said, more than 40,000 civilians may be killed as a result of the action of both adversaries.

The Sri Lankan Government on May 18, 2009 announced the end of the decades-old conflict with the Tamil Tigers after troops put down the remnants of the rebel force and killed their leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran.

Colombo's statement marked the end of one of the longest-running ethnic conflict and brutal in Asia, killing tens of thousands of people in a variety of battles, suicide attacks, bombings and assassinations.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam ('S LTTE) Velupillai Prabhakaran has acknowledged that died in the attack on the Sri Lankan Government forces.

The UNITED NATIONS estimates, more than 100,000 people were killed in the Tamil separatist conflict after the Tiger Tamil rebels appeared in 1972.

About 15,000 rebels battling the Sri Lankan Government and the Tamil in the ethnic conflicts that in an attempt to set up an independent Tamil State.

Ankara (ANTARA News) - Perdana Menteri Turki Recep Tayyip Erdogan Selasa mengatakan bahwa ledakan kuat di satu minibus di perbatasan Suriah yang menewaskan 14 orang adalah serangan bom.

"Satu kendaraan sarat dengan bom mampu mencapai gerbang pabean kami karena gerbang pabean di sisi Suriah tidak bekerja dan tidak sedang dikendalikan," kata Erdogan kepada parlemen setelah insiden itu Senin.

Kendaraan itu meledak pada Senin di zona penyangga antara Turki, Cilvegozu, melintasi perbatasan Suriah dan pos Bab al-Hawa, yang disita oleh para pemberontak Suriah pada Juli.

"Apa yang kita lihat dalam rekaman itu bahwa itu adalah tempat parkir yang ramai dengan para pejalan kaki ... Siapa saja dapat melihat korban tewas yang parah," kata Menteri Kehakiman Sadullah Ergin kepada wartawan sebelumnya.

"Jadi kami percaya warga sipil adalah target yang jelas," tambah Ergin. "Saya mengutuk tindakan teror ini."

Pemerintah Turki mencari segala kemungkinan, termasuk klaim bahwa serangan itu mungkin telah dilakukan oleh media intelijen Suriah, kata laporan lokal.

Kelompok pembangkang dalam berbagai faksi pemberontak Suriah juga di bawah sorotan.

Penyeberangan Cilvegozu adalah salah satu dari tujuh pos di sepanjang perbatasan 910 kilometer Turki (560 mil) yang perbatasan dengan Suriah.

Ini adalah gerbang utama ke Suriah, dengan ratusan truk berbaris setiap hari untuk membawa bantuan kemanusiaan ke negara yang dilanda perang.

Rekaman video menunjukkan minibus itu tiba dari Suriah dan parkir dekat perbatasan 20 menit sebelum meledak, kata Menteri Dalam Negeri Muammer Guler.

Surat kabar Milliyet mengatakan, sekitar 50 kilogram TNT telah disimpan di kendaraan itu dan diledakkan dengan kendali jarak jauh.

Para pejabat menyebut jumlah korban setidaknya 14 orang, empat dari mereka orang Turki dan sisanya warga Suriah, sementara 25 lainnya terluka.

Hurriyet melaporkan bahwa tiga tersangka keluar dari mobil sebelum terjadi ledakan. Dua di antaranya masuk ke Suriah sementara yang ketiga memasuki Turki dan kini masih diburu.

Turki, satu kali adalah sekutu Suriah sekarang menentang keras rezim Presiden Bashar al-Assad, telah mengambil hampir 200.000 pengungsi dari konflik yang telah menewaskan lebih dari 60.000 warga Suriah dalam hampir dua tahun ini, menurut angka PBB. (AK)

PBB (ANTARA News) - Jumlah korban tewas dalam perang saudara di Suriah kini mendekati 70.000, kata Kepala Hak Asasi Manusia Perserikatan Bangsa Bangsa Navi Pillay Selasa saat dia mengecam lagi kegagalan Dewan Keamanan PBB untuk menyetujui tindakan pada konflik.

Pillay mengumumkan bulan lalu bahwa korban telah mencapai 60.000. "Angka itu sekarang mungkin mendekati 70.000," kata Pillay saat bertemu dengan Dewan Keamanan mengenai perlindungan penduduk sipil dalam konflik.

"Kurangnya konsensus tentang Suriah dan kelambanan yang dihasilkan telah menjadi bencana dan warga sipil di semua sisi telah membayar harganya," kata Pillay, yang mengecam perbedaan pendapat di Dewan Keamanan atas konflik selama 23-bulan.

"Kami akan dinilai terhadap tragedi yang telah berlangsung di depan mata kita. Dewan ini, serta orang-orang dari kita dalam posisi penting di dalam PBB, akan ditanya apa yang kita lakukan," katanya.

Rusia, sekutu terakhir Presiden Suriah Bashar al-Assad, dan China telah menggunakan kekuatan mereka sebagai anggota tetap Dewan Keamanan tiga kali memblokir resolusi yang akan hanya mengancam sanksi atas konflik.

Pillay membuat imbauan baru untuk agar perang sipil itu akan dirujuk ke Pengadilan Pidana Internasional.

"Ini akan mengirim pesan yang jelas kepada pemerintah dan oposisi bahwa akan ada konsekuensi atas tindakan mereka, dan bisa sangat efektif untuk pencegahan yang signifikan," kata komisioner HAM PBB yang vokal itu. (AK)

DK PBB adakan pembicaraan darurat soal ledakan Korut

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
PBB (ANTARA News) - Dewan Keamanan Perserikatan Bangsa Bangsa pada Selasa mengadakan pembicaraan darurat mengenai uji coba bom nuklir ketiga Korea Utara dalam tujuh tahun.

Dewan 15-anggota diharapkan untuk menyetujui setidaknya pernyataan kecaman pada konsultasi tertutup pertama mengenai penyebaran baru krisis, kata para diplomat.

"Saya berharap akan ada lebih dari satu pernyataan," kata utusan PBB Prancis Gerard Araud saat memasuki pertemuan.

"Kami tentu berharap bahwa dewan akan dapat mengirim pesan yang jelas dari kecaman keras," kata Philip Parham, wakil duta besar Inggris untuk PBB kepada wartawan.

Bulan lalu, Dewan mengancam "tindakan yang signifikan" terhadap Korea Utara jika menggelar uji coba nuklir.

Korea Utara telah menghadapi sanksi ketat PBB atas uji coba senjata nuklirnya pada tahun 2006 dan 2009.

Korea Utara mengatakan, pihaknya berhasil melakukan uji coba sebuah bom "miniatur" dalam langkah menantang yang membawa pertunjukan langka kesatuan protes oleh lima anggota tetap Dewan Keamanan - Amerika Serikat, China, Rusia, Inggris dan Prancis.

China, sekutu terdekat Pyongyang, memanggil duta Korea Utara di Beijing untuk mengajukan protes.

Menteri Luar Negeri Rusia Sergei Lavrov mengatakan ia berharap Dewan Keamanan mengambil tindakan. "Tindakan-tindakan tersebut adalah kecaman yang memadai," katanya dalam satu kunjungan ke Afrika Selatan.

Presiden AS Barack Obama menyerukan perlunya tindakan "cepat" dan "kredibel" internasional terhadap Korea Utara.

Para diplomat mengatakan bahwa meskipun ada tekanan kuat untuk sanksi, Dewan Keamanan kemungkinan akan menyetujui pernyataan pada Selasa dan kemudian dengan segera mulai menggarap mengenai resolusi pada sanksi.

Dewan Keamanan memerintahkan sanksi terhadap Korea Utara untuk dua uji coba sebelumnya, dan ini diperkuat bulan lalu karena negara itu meluncurkan roket pada 12 Desember.

Dewan Keamanan menambahkan badan ruang angkasa Korea Utara, satu bank, empat perusahaan perdagangan dan empat orang ke daftar sanksi yang ada.

China sepakat untuk menambah resolusi ancaman "tindakan yang signifikan" jika Korea Utara melakukan uji coba baru.

Amerika Serikat dan sekutunya akan mendesakkan tindakan cepat, kata para diplomat. Perlu waktu beberapa pekan bagi Dewan Keamanan untuk menyetujui pernyataan dan sanksi setelah uji coba 2006 dan 2009, dan penenggelaman kapal perang Korea Selatan oleh Korea Utara pada tahun 2010.

China melakukan upaya khusus untuk mencoba menghadang uji coba bom terbaru Korea Utara, kata seorang diplomat PBB yang telah mengambil bagian dalam konsultasi baru-baru ini.

"Orang-orang China memberi Korea Utara peringatan kuat terhadap pelaksanaan uji coba saat telah menjadi jelas bahwa hal itu sudah dekat," kata diplomat itu, yang tak bersedia disebut namanya.

"Apa yang Korea Utara lakukan sekarang adalah tantangan besar bagi China," tambah utusan itu.

Sekretaris Jenderal PBB Ban Ki-moon mengutuk uji coba bawah tanah itu sebagai "pelanggaran yang jelas dan menyeramkan" dari resolusi Dewan Keamanan dan satu "tindakan yang sangat membuat kekacauan" terhadap stabilitas regional, kata juru bicaranya. (AK)

Mali troops clear the market fearing attack Gao

Gao, Mali (Reuters)-Mali Troops Monday to clear the main market in Gao for fear there will be attacks, after the northern city was rocked by three days of this suicide bombing attacks and firing by the militants.

"We are concerned about the attack, because that is our clear market Gao for security reasons," said a high-ranking officer, reported AFP.

Traders packed up their belongings and left the Washington Market, which is near the central police station that was used as a base by armed militants to launch guerrilla attacks into the city on Sunday.

France-attack helicopters destroyed a police station in an attack on Monday morning.

The surrounding area is closed by the security forces and the army of France clears mines in the area.

Sporadic gun shots shots were heard in the northern part of the city.

Some medical sources and the military said at least two hard-line militants and three civilians were killed in the fighting Sunday, and 17 others injured.

"We received 15 patients with gunshot wounds, all of them civilians," said Fatoumata Kanté Doctor in the emergency room.

Two soldiers were lightly injured, said a Malian officer.

Oneness and Jihad movement in West Africa (MUJAO), one of the groups that dominate northern Mali before being driven off by the intervention of France that was launched on 11 January, claimed responsibility for the attack in the city and threatened to launch more attacks.

France-led forces recaptured Gao on 26 January from Al Qaida linked militants who ruled the region of northern Mali for 10 months after a military coup.

France, which is working with the military of Mali, on January 11, launched operation when militants threaten advanced to the capital of Mali, Bamako, after months of doubt about the African intervention forces to help drive out hard-line groups from the northern region.

Mali, who had become one of stable democracies in Africa, experienced the uncertainty after the coup d ' état in March 2012 overthrow the Government of President Amadou Toumani Toure.

The international community is worried that country will become the new hotbed of terrorists and they support the efforts of Africa to intervene militarily.

The United Nations has approved the placement of the African intervention force consisting of about 3300 soldiers under the auspices of the ECOWAS grouping of West African States. With the involvement of Chad, which has pledged 2,000 soldiers, means the number of intervention forces that would be much greater.

Hard-line groups, which said the experts acting under the umbrella of Al Qaida in Islamic Morocco (AQIM), dominate the North, Mali to the extent greater than that of France, since April last year.

Tribal rebels in mid-January 2012 launched more war decades for the independence of the Tuareg in the northern region they claim as their land, reinforced by heavily armed guerrillas who recently returned from Libya. However, their struggle was then hijacked by hard-line muslim groups.

Disgruntled army coup in March meant to give the military more authority in order to quell a revolt in the North, but it in fact backfire and the rebels took control of three major cities in the North of Mali within three days. (M014)

"An explosion that destroys everything. It seems like there isn't anything here before the explosion, "said a policeman at the scene who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

There is no party that claimed responsibility for the attack, but Sunni guerrillas often launch such attacks in an attempt to destabilize the Government and encourage the return of sectarian violence like in 2005-2008.

The bombing showed an increase in attacks in the midst of a political crisis between Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and his Government partners and protest marches over the past few weeks demanding his resignation.

Iraq is engulfed in political chaos and violence that killed thousands of people since u.s. forces completed a withdrawal from the country on 18 December 2011, leaving security responsibilities to Iraq troops.

In addition to having problems with the Kurds, Iraq's Government is also at odds with Sunni groups.

Iraq's Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki (Shiite) since December 2011 sought the arrest of Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on charges of terrorism and attempting to dismiss Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-absolute. Both are Sunni leaders.

The scholars warn that Maliki is encouraging sectarian divisions, and protestors gathered in the streets of Iraq by carrying banners in support of the Government and criticized Hashemi.

Iraq officials issued an arrest warrant for Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi on December 19, 2011 after they gain recognition that connect him with terrorist activity.

Dozens of guards of Hashemi, a Sunni Arab leader, was arrested in a few weeks after the announcement, but it is not clear how many people were now on hold.

Hashemi, who denied the allegations, was hiding in the Kurdish autonomous region in northern Iraq, and Kurdish leaders refused to pass them to Baghdad.

The Kurdish government even allowed the regional visit to Hashemi did Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. (M014)

Ini adalah operasi besar. Tujuan langsungnya tampak untuk mendukung rezim Suriah. Tapi itu penting bagi Iran untuk memiliki kekuatan di Suriah yang handal dan dapat diandalkan.

Washington (ANTARA News) - Iran dan sekutunya yang berbasis di Lebanon, Hizbullah, mencoba untuk membangun jaringan milisi di dalam wilayah Suriah untuk melindungi kepentingan mereka jika Presiden Bashar al-Assad jatuh, menurut laporan The Washington Post, Minggu malam.

Iran mengaku mendukung sekitar 50 ribu gerilyawan di Suriah. Upaya untuk menemukan solusi politik bagi konflik yang telah berlangsung hampir dua tahun lamanya dan menewaskan lebih dari 60 ribu orang itu tampaknya menemui jalan buntu.

"Ini adalah operasi besar. Tujuan langsungnya tampak untuk mendukung rezim Suriah. Tapi itu penting bagi Iran untuk memiliki kekuatan di Suriah yang handal dan dapat diandalkan, " harian itu mengutip pejabat pemerintah senior Amerika Serikat.

The Washington Post mengutip seorang pejabat senior Arab yang mengatakan bahwa strategi Iran di Suriah memiliki dua jalur. "Salah satunya adalah untuk mendukung Assad tetap di puncak, yang lain adalah untuk mengatur bila terjadi kerusakan besar jika Assad runtuh," kata pejabat itu.

Sekutu Teheran di Suriah termasuk komunitas Syiah dan Alawit yang terkonsentrasi di provinsi dekat perbatasan Suriah dengan Lebanon dan di pelabuhan penting kota Latakia, kata surat kabar itu. Kantong ini akan sangat bergantung pada Iran untuk bertahan hidup dan membantu mereka mempertahankan hubungan dengan Hizbullah, kata surat kabar itu.

Berdasarkan skenario yang paling mungkin, maka sisa-sisa pemerintahan Bashar -- dengan atau tanpa Bashar - akan berusaha untuk membangun hubungan erat dengan Teheran, menurut The Washington Post.
