(Reuters) – Sri Lanka’s U.N. mission on Tuesday dismissed as “unfair and unethical” concerns raised by U.N. human rights chief Navi Pillay about the appointment of a Sri Lankan army general to an advisory panel on peacekeeping.
Pillay said she had informed U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon of her misgivings about General Shavendra Silva, Sri Lanka’s deputy U.N. ambassador, who commanded the Sri Lankan army’s 58th Division during the final assault against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009.
We need to express our misgivings of having a rcist Tamil woman, who appears to favour Tamil terrorists, holding an imnportant post in UN. She should be removed from that post
