UN is aware Gota trespassed on laws and war crimes were committed when issuing orders irrespective of any other available evidence

According to recent reports, the UN Organization is aware based on reasonable suspicion irrespective of other available evidence, that the Defense Secretary Nandasena Gotabaya Rajapakse had exceeded his legal limits , acted over and above the officers officially giving commands and trespassed on the laws when issuing orders during the war thereby committing war crimes and violating human rights then and now.

It is learnt that the reason for this suspicion is based on the ugly and deplorable protests which were organized against the UN office in Colombo on the 09 July 2010 , as related by the UN chiefs themselves . On that day morning none other than anti democratic regime Minister & one who involved in a bribe case during 2010, Wimal Weerawansa along with a violent gang of goons laid siege to the UN office and staged demonstrations , and later even erected a stage near the UN office and performed a fast unto death .

It is an internationally accepted legal requirement that every country where the UN offices are situated, security for those offices should be provided by that country , and SL is also bound by that . It is the DIG of that area who is responsible to provide security to that Institution. He has no need to take instructions from anyone when it comes to providing security. On that day , the DIG Pathirane who was responsible arrived at the scene with a group of policemen ,when Weerawansa telephoned defense Secretary Gotabaya and complained during the violent scenes against the police seeking to establish peace and order. The Defense Secretary who then telephoned the DIG began furiously berating him as follows :

Gota : Who asked you to go there ? Don’t step into that area. Why did you go there ?
DIG Pathirane : ‘Sir, Sir …. IGP only told me to visit the scene.
Gota : Take the police and vanish from there immediately.
DIG : Yes Sir. I shall.
Gota: withdraw every police vehicle and get out.
DIG : Right Sir.
Gota : useless piece of work. Today itself IGP should be removed from there.



This episode became known to the whole world following the video footage . This was a clear demonstration of the unlawful orders issued by the defense Secretary overriding the officers who were truly eligible to duly give commands. As this order was given by Gota , one of the Weerawansa stooges taking advantage gave a blow to the high ranking law enforcing officer’s head that the much respected official cap of his got thrown to the ground.



Consequently , the UN top rung officials have reasonably concluded based on justifiable suspicion that if this defense Secretary who is expected to be in full overall charge of the law and order situation of the country is so blatantly , in broad daylight and with complete impunity breaking the laws giving orders which are in absolute violation of legal precepts and is disdainfully overriding the law enforcing authorities , the mounting allegations of war crimes , human rights violations then and now committed in SL should be given credence to and are to be expected..

It is noteworthy ,legally , a defense Secretary post is not a position where any official orders can be issued to security divisions.
