    COLOMBO, Feb. 14 (Kyodo) _ The U.N. children's agency on Tuesday called on both the Tamil Tigers and the Sri Lankan government to remember their commitment to stop the recruitment of children under the 2002 ceasefire agreement. The U.N. Children's Fund made the call ahead of peace talks next week in Geneva between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. While the government has never been accused of child recruitment, the LTTE has been under heavy fire on this score from UNICEF as well as other international agencies.

Full Story

"The statement noted that since January 2002, UNICEF has recorded 5,368 cases of reported child recruitment in Sri Lanka. "


Sri Lankan president says No Homeland for Tamils.  LTTE circus has wasted lives of thousands of children.

First ....

Blood tigers forte is Child soldiers, Extortion & Drug traffiking and I dont think that the so called Sole Tamil representaives would like this. Just forget that the Supremos children are getting well educated in devloped countries (may be moulding to be war think tanks of the future Tigers - Crown to be passed down) as thier counterparts are reqruited at the tender age to fight for their luxary life styles.


Second ....

UN and their respective NGO's always . when it comes to Tigers. They always blah, blah only but no contrutive work happens. But they always force them self to vist the vanni to see the commrades, probably due to the donor countries blessing who always has a duplicity towards Terrorists. Who knows if SL was a majority with a Christian/Catholic majority, Norway to US will stand by the GOSL. But since all the Tiger sympthysors belevers of the holy cross they, command a better postion to fund the blood thirst Tigers.

LTTE shouldn't recruit kids for fighting.UNICEF should condemn it and try to stop it.No question about it.
But where the heck were you guys when EPDP was kidnapping teenagers using white van in Colombo in 90's or IPKF sponsored Tamil National Army forcibly recruiting thousands of teenagers all over North and East.Where is your condemnation of GOSL's and affiliated thugs arbitary arrest,harassment and killing of tamil teenagers.During the last war when army entered the civilian areas ,they didn't care about whether they didn't care who was LTTE or who was ordinary women and children.Everybody was LTTE to them.Many military atrocities've never been investigated eventhough govt occasionally assign some retired judges to investigate it.No one brought to justice.What is your UN doing about it?.You don't care about state sponsored terrorism.
UN is a powerless organization and you are just part of it.All talk no action.

UN Peacekeepers are accused of child molestations and rape in many countries.What is UNICEF doing about it?

Federal Automobile.
Much more than UN, it's your responsibilty to discourage LTTE to use teenagers. Unfortunately your postings stand only for LTTE rights, not for humanity rights. Not that it matters much, because day by day LTTEs tactics and false propaganda machineries are exposed to outside world.
Read the news article again, LTTE child recruitment is verified again and again, where as your claims happened long before the truce and not in this scale of thousands.

What a shame, your blind obedience towards a ruthless terrorist organization.

SELVAN,

If I obey LTTE,then I wouldn't criticise LTTE.LTTE human right violations must be condemned so does GOSL and their groups.
Get the fact straight.You are one of those people assume if someone criticise GOSL or other associated thugs then that person is LTTE.Why people can't criticise whoever commit atrocities.Atrocitoes are atrocities regardless of how long ago it happened.I used it point out UN hypocrisy
How can a govt get away with crimes.Don't they have to protect all people regardless of ethnicity.
You have the right criticise LTTE atrocities and I respect that and I don't say you worship GOSL or their thugs.


What a shame ,you just assume everything.....................

Ha ha, hey you guys don't know that Prabakaran is the great liberation fighter. His two kids get 8-D's in the O/L and pass the A/L with flying scores, and they are kept very comfortable in UK. Why? because they are his babies. Then what about the other babies? They are his fish baits. Then, about the liberation struggle? Who told that it is the those other kids who are going to get liberated?

I dont have to assume your intentions. They are quite clear.
I dont mind anyone critisizing GOSL past, present or future. However your postings never (Except this time 'cos the article was based on verified facts) criticize LTTE attrocities. That was my point.

Federal Autonomy will be a pipe dream with present line of LTTE practices. If LTTE drops it's false propaganda based on  mythical Tamil homeland concept and reduce human rights violation, and sincere with talks, there may be a chance. Afterall it's GOSLs responsibility to protect it's citizens, which include NE citizens live inside LTTE occupied area.
What can we expect from a "Liberation" organization which works only for a bunch of armed assasins? After 20 year what has given by LTTE to Tamils except "Tamil Tiger Terrorist" label?

What a shame, VPs kids get higher education while other parents have sleepless nights protecting their kids from LTTE goons.

Those kids who managed to escape from the hard grip of LTTE are gunned down in an execution style killing in the hands of GOSL (Still we can remember the execution of 5 young guys in Trinco)
"Oh God Save these innocent kids"

Selvan,
You are pathetic
May be you are one of those who cannot handle whole truth or just clueless.May be one who worships GOSL or former LTTE like Karuna.Because I chose to point out what UNICEF or UN failed to do.It doesn't make me or anyone a LTTE worshipper.Atrocities ,regardless of who commits must be condemned.I don't have to criticise LTTE since many people are already doing it.What's the point repeating it.But few points out other's atrocities.I never said LTTE didn't commit atrocities.Last time we all know what happened to those kids who surrendered to military,they were buthchered in Bindunuwewa rehabilitation camp.No one brought to justice.
Your intentions are clear too and whom you work for.
I don't care what you call me....I would still criticise your bosses for their atrocities.

probably UNICEF is accusing the Sri Lankan goverment of not taking sufficent steps to made LTTE not recruting chil solders, in addition to asking LTTE directly to stop that dirty act. Why not SL goverment put this issue to the agenda if childrens are important factor to govermrnt?

Where did you get this "Information" that they were running away from LTTE torture camp? Please post the link. Then there is a quite a good chance LTTE killed them to prevent disclosure.

Why only those 5 "Innocent" youngesters? Please include below children also in your prayers.

Do you expect me to remind Bindunuwewa as well?

No. It was done already. Check Federal Automobile posting.
So hacking infants justified, because a bunch of surrendered terrorists killed during an uprising inside the detention center. Correct? Perhaps you must have forgot the fact that surrendered terrorists tried to take control over the detention center which lead to that unfortunate incident.
In any case Bindunuweva case is not justified. Detention center officials should have taken appropriate security measures to prevent the incident. That facility should have been built like camp X-ray. Unfortunately lack of security screening lead to infilteration by LTTE active members which started the uprising. Due to the lack of security, LTTE achived their goals by directing the incident to murder of its own cadres, who are anyway decorated with Cyanide capsules.
Since you can not differentiate between infants and grownup men, both the incidents may seem similar to you. Fortunately rest of the world do not follow that line.

So in your next prayer include Bindunuweva LTTE cadres also. If you have time say a prayer for the folowing list of prominent Tamil leaders killed by LTTE during its liberation process.

Dont forget the article which lead to this discussion about LTTE baby brigade. I guess you are not worried about that, since LTTE child abduction has not affected you yet.

Here we go,According to Selvan,
Don't blame the government,LTTE actions killed detainees.Good spin for obvious state sponsored murder.
It's another of his fairy tales.
Who trusts SPUR website.It's probably most one sided and anti-tamil website in the planet.If they really care about innocent people get killed why can't they put pictures of tamils killed by GOSL too.
