(Wimal Weerawansa's Party)
The National Freedom Front (NFF/JNP) yesterday urged Russia and China to defend Sri Lanka against the report issued by the United Nations Experts Panel.
“We call on Russia and China to stop the United States, France and Britain from monopolizing the UN. The UN has failed as an organization for world peace and as such Russia and China must set up a new world order,” NFF MP Piyasiri Wijenayake told the media.
He described UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as a US puppet and claimed Mr. Ban was being used as a pawn in a conspiracy to take President Mahinda Rajapaksa and Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
“We will not allow them to do this, we will protest any move to take our war heroes to the ICC. It will only be done over our dead bodies,” Mr. Wijenayake said.
He accused Mr. Ban of presenting the report as one issued by the UN.
“The panel was set up to advice him but Mr \ban is presenting the report as a UN report. The UN consists of more than 190 countries and no panel can be set up without a resolution passed in the General Assembly and no country can be investigated for war crimes without the approval of the Security Council,” Mr. Wijenayake said.
