On 25 March 2014, Mr Geoffrey Robertson QC spoke at the press conference organised by the Transitional Government of Tamil Eelam and discussed the current UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka and what must be done in the future.
As a leading expert in the establishment of International Justice mechanisms, he will show how it can be used to examine the case for genocide as well as war crimes. He discussed among other issues:
• Will the proposed Commission of Inquiry be followed by the establishment of an international court, with a prosecutor capable of proceeding against very powerful officials?
• What kind of international court is needed, where should it be based and who should be prosecuted?
• What other reforms are necessary in Sri Lanka before the Tamil people are safe?
Mr Robertson’s presentation will be followed by an introduction by the Foreign Minister of Transnational Government of Tamil Eelam, Mr Manicka Vasagar and an account by Mr Ali Beydoun, a US attorney, explaining the legal work undertaken on behalf of the TGTE.
