International Accountability and Genocide Claims
Discussion of Sri Lanka's resistance to external investigation mechanisms for alleged atrocities, with comparisons to other nations' self-investigation approaches. Posts critique the country's preference for domestic mechanisms over international oversight.
Nothing says "we take accountability seriously" like suggesting the accused should grade their own homework—next they'll want to write their own Wikipedia page while we're at it.
There are still 2 nations today that practice apartheid under international law openly. Everyone knows about Israel. But how many know about #SriLanka? @Callum_Macrae is an amazing human, and made this film after the 2009 atrocities there. https://t.co/a6olqo2YcZ https://t.co/QkclQNfadO
Nations who committed #genocide want their own mechanism to self investigate. From Russia asking US and China on deciding fate of Ukraine to #SriLanka, thru nationally driven, domestic mechanisms rather than external oversight - unacceptable! @UNGeneva @UNSriLanka @volker_turk https://t.co/whtCp2EDy1
