US misusing UN mandate - Senior Minister

The United States is misusing the UN mandate to hide the real intentions behind the Libyan attack, said Scientific Affairs Senior Minister Prof Tissa Vitarana addressing a Lanka Sama Samaja Party press conference held yesterday.

He said that this incident should be a warning to Sri Lanka not to fall for the "accountability" trap that the UN is striving to spring on the Government for alleged human rights violations during the final stage of the war against the LTTE.

He observed that the US intention is to ensure continued access to Libyan- oil at more favourable terms through a US puppet regime which could be the ultimate result of the people's uprising in Libya. He noted that the Libyan situation has enabled the US to intervene on the basis of the "right to protect".

The Senior Minister also pointed out that the US is ignoring the harsh crackdown on the people's uprisings by the regimes in Yemen, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.

"The Yemeni-regime is assisting in the fight against Al-Qaeda and US bases are located in Bahrain.

"The US also fears that a Shiite regime in Bahrain would be friendly to Shiite Iran.

"It is clear that they are preparing the ground for intervention in Iran, by getting the UN Human Rights Council to appoint a special investigator to look into alleged human rights abuses in Iran," he noted.
