The international civil society has\r\nacknowledged the extent of the atrocities on the Tamil people leading to genocide. The Human Rights Council\r\nhas called for an international investigation. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has placed Sri\r\nLanka on a watch list for four years. Instead of pursuing remedial justice, the chauvinist mindset of the Sri\r\nLankan Government has sought to create smokescreens to hide its multitude of sins. Its campaign against the\r\nTamil Diaspora which it brands as consisting of \u201cterrorists\u201d is misplaced. The Diaspora entities, including the\r\nTGTE, operate in accordance with the laws of the states in which they function. They consist of citizens in those\r\nstates who are committed to pursue their political objectives in accordance with the laws of their home states.\r\nThe Sri Lankan Government commits an illegality in branding them as \u201cterrorists\u201d without any proof that their\r\nactivities are illegal.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When the TGTE&#8217;s Centre for the Study of Genocide releases the names of those it asserts are guilty of genocide,\r\ncrimes against humanity and war crimes, it makes no transgression of the law. Instead, it grounds its assertions\r\nbuilt on credible evidence. Those who commit genocide are guilty under the domestic laws of many states. In\r\naddition, Genocide is a crime of universal jurisdiction. Every court of every state has a right to prosecute them.\r\nThey are guilty under international law of the most heinous of crimes known to mankind, the killing of people\r\non the basis of their ethnicity. They can be prosecuted before both domestic courts and international tribunals.\r\nThe TGTE is committed to ensuring that those guilty of genocide are punished. Though it focuses on the\r\ngenocide of the Tamils in the island of Sri Lanka, it is mindful that the struggle involves other people in other\r\nlands. It fights their causes as well, so that they could live without fear of being persecuted on the basis of their\r\nethnicity or religion.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Successive Governments of Sri Lanka have brought grief to Tamils through persecution from 1958 onwards.\r\nBrutality against the Tamils has spilled over into callous disregard of Muslims and Christians as well with their\r\nplaces of worship being targeted for attack and destruction.<\/p>\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/pressrelease\/224838453-DIRTY-DOZEN-Genocidaires-and-War-Criminals-on-Tamils-in-Sri-Lanka.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read More<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><div class=\"mh-excerpt\">LETTER FROM THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE TRANSNATIONAL GOVERNMENT OF <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/?p=2178\" title=\"THE LIST THE MOST WANTED SRI LANKAN GENOCIDARIES AND WAR CRIMINALS\">[\u0bae\u0bc7\u0bb2\u0bc1\u0bae\u0bcd]<\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2179,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-2178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2178"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2897,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2178\/revisions\/2897"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2178"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tgte-us.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fyst_prominent_words&post=2178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
