US Seeks to Eventually Partition Sri Lanka. Humanitarian ‘Responsibility to Protect’ Intervention Contemplated

‘The United States has no genuine interest in accountability or reconciliation in Sri Lanka, but is seeking a strategic military base in Asia, says Tamara Manimekhalai Kunanayakam, onetime Sri Lanka’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Office at Geneva and Sri Lanka’s Ambassador to Holy See.

In a wide ranging interview with Ceylon Today, Kunanayakam said, the US would demand more concessions using the resolution as a tool and charged the UN Human Rights Commissioner as a ‘US instrument’ serving Washington’s interests.

Kunanayakam also alleged the resolution was aimed at demonstrating Sri Lanka’s alleged failures and to portray Sri Lanka as a failed State. Humanitarian Intervention under “Responsibility to Protect” (R2P) is invoked. Washington’s intent is to eventually create a US military hub in Sri Lanka.’
