Mr Jan Hessbruegge at jhessbruegge@ohchr.orgFebruary 2, 2009Mr. Walter KalinRepresentative of the Secretary-General on the human rights of internallydisplaced personsOffice of the High Commissioner for Human RightsPalais des NationsCH-1211 Geneva 1052 rue des PâquisSwitzerlandMr. Walter KalinI am writing to you to make an urgent appeal to act immediately on theescalating humanitarian crisis faced by the Tamils in Sri Lanka. Today, asilent tragedy unfolds in Sri Lanka as the plights of Tamil civilians aredisregarded by the International Community.The Genocide Prevention Project, a New York based initiative listed SriLanka as one of the top eight "red alert" countries, where genocide iseither already taking place or underway. The Government of Sri Lanka hasimplemented a genocidal strategy by placing an embargo on food, medicine,and other essentials. They have expelled various non-governmentalorganizations which were active in providing aid. The Government of SriLanka continued to escalate human suffering by carrying out intense aerialbombardments using cluster bombs. The government is also responsible for amedia black out in Sri Lanka by preventing international media fromreporting the genocidal atrocities on the ground.Peter Campbell of the World Food Programme, commented how the conditions innorthern Sri Lanka is similar to conditions observed in Somalia. Overhalf-a-million Tamils are displaced and the Government of Sri Lanka hascarried out intense aerial bombardments on IDP settlements, hospitals,schools and churches. The International Committee of the Red Cross hasexpressed that they are extremely concerned about the civilians that arefleeing from the aggression by the military.The Government of Sri Lanka is guilty of serious violations ofinternational law and the Geneva conventions. At this time the Tamils inSri Lanka are in dire need of international intervention.It is my fervent hope that you will act immediately on these immenseconcerns of the genocidal atrocities that are being inflicted by theGovernment of Sri Lanka on the Tamils.I urge the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights to actimmediately to:* Stop the indiscriminate aerial bombings and artillery shellingscarried out by the Government of Sri Lanka on Tamil civilians;* Allow international and local NGOs to the war affected areas toprovide emergency assistance to internally displaced Tamils;* Allow international media and monitoring missions to report freelyabout the humanitarian crisis in the conflict zones;* Adopt a United Nations Human Rights Council Emergency Resolutioncalling for an end to the massive human rights violations against Tamils.Sincerely,xxxxxxxxx (தங்கள் பெயர்)
