to head state with the the welcome back to elgin 0 is had to had my guess tonight is running a week from a single former prime minister from a president of suite and run a richard michigan. thank you. so much for being here tonight. we talked in part one about your presidency. we talked about the easter sunday attacks through long because brutal civil will allow us to 26 years that claimed the lives of an estimated 100000 people on law. you're yourself tried to broker a ceasefire with the l t t, also known as the time altogether in 2002. but last year, when you were present in the u. n said to date, the government has rarely even acknowledged the serious violations that occurred in the conflict or provided victims with adequate redress. in the 16 years since the end of the war, you've been probably minutes to 4 times and president wants. can you tell our audience today how you believe justice has been served on your watch for the

victims of the civil war? no contest. you and i say that. i'm not going to the next question please. that wasn't my question. my question was how is just as being served on your going to the victims? i said no, i don't. i mean, i mean you, these are, do say if i go on so you would have a shout on me. so i, if you do, you have to add, you know, context or whatever it is we get to the next question. so you believe that the victims of the civil war of, uh, not giving me a challenge to speak. so i am not seeing anything. i said no, going to so being the next question please. so the little bit childish for a former president, the able to, i was not, i'm sorry, if i am child gone, the was also charity. so i'm wondering, going to be confident uncertainty request meeting and are you doing don said into your in your research quotes, he didn't do no history. what can i know to see? i didn't mind island mission media from the marlins. we are a non violent nation. yeah. and i'm, and i'm not, i'm just going to ask you about civil with the last of 26 years and killed over a 100000 people investigated that one?

no, no, it was up. there wasn't a civil people that needs be without that up thing. then i was able to get onto the question. yeah, no, no, no, you don't want somebody to give it to me. i said no. going to assume that making 40 because for each of them are 40 dasia, so no contest to get onto the next one. ok, let's try this on your watch. that was an office of missing persons that you set up, your office investigated 6000 cases of disappearances. can you tell us how many people were found by the open fist again? say if i say anything and support it because we just off the how many bad re, b, b i, i read is a 1000, disappears. this is dropped. here was the number who disappeared the according to promptings, us far more. we have time to go. oh i'm here, i'm gonna see the 1000. i'm 6000 because i knew of some of that was 14000 names that that com. so if you're trying to do that again, speed didn't mean to pull it out. those waiting, leading them. what do you, i thought of the incident and those were outside,

but it's not only the wrong they have your talking on duty, somebody in the south, and i just didn't want to identify them where you like, cuz that's, that's, that's a big big problem. then. odd, yeah, the numbers, because 40000 wasn't not the big number that came that disappeared on so many of them is to ask data going on. how many was found by your office? why does such a hard question for you don't put 6000 disappearance of investigative? how many people with our 14000, i'll reach me via data data going on. so i've seen 16 people will found. it's not an embarrassing nobody. i tell you will watch only 16 people, 16.3 percent of the, sorry that that they've done through different groups. large number i'm using, we had to it conflicting the country is something we just stuck. all of that large number. you'll hear people as you're going to be reading that, not so late, testable tests that look at how we're going to solve it. not only the question i'm using $0.05, but what that's happening is do not assume but see reasonable. i search for you, we look forward, disagree, but i,

if you're not allowing me what to say and how would that be going to bring it around as just as being served in the meantime for any other communities. okay, why was just of most of the walk, how you have on so do you have questions that you have to not be to other questions on alphabetically? what do you say or what? okay, why did you re appoint last? i knew it was, you know, under front of a man named general shipment or silver who the us government blacklisted for gross violations of human rights, namely, extrajudicial kenning, how can that make truth reconciliation and unity, which is a commission you started when you're keeping on board generals accused of gross human rights violations in that conflict. janet as a shelby, and as i said above, as dad, he said he's willing to stand any inquiry, not long as we had not been and found anything there. the money kind of door there blacklisted him. con se walked into the boat, he's tempting you in and bought, and office 5 a less concerned it's a practice not to replace me to come on does doing election. i didn't want the one

to indeed, but when i tool i checked on it and now satisfied that again, it seems that was not involved in me it's, it's a us that they've done it, us and the un high commissioner of human rights michelle bus routes and the, you know, have the european union, my dad is known to us. we have no charges. he's reading, he, in fact, these are the ones that to standard contribution function, which i mean to me. so you set up this truth and reconciliation commission and last year when you were president, you go to an opening data from victims of the civil war journalist activists in the north, on the east. and they said there's no point to this commission when they're still being subjected to quote, surveillance, intimidation and harassment by security agencies. and land grabs why we will security agency, subjecting them to surveillance. harassment of land cannot be many. i mean, that would be in some instances, these property, but i did not deal with it, but i a pallet, but it's hard to talk about the truth. and reconciliation of people are still being subjective to human rights, to be as, as, to what do mean grad some look at it somewhat not, but i, i really not, i, i'm not going to honestly anymore on these high high fees that a lot more to be done to get out to these for the people of the country with the

time you. okay, let's go to the door a restaurant and we've just seen your politics, electricity, university, executive director of public advocacy group at the time of human rights and so on. that as a tumble missouri is it fair to say that the 2 people that a lot of times and st lanka, want to see in a court of law and, and go to by roger fox, who are respectively president and defense minister for the last most violent years of the civil war, both of them accused the multiple credit should have been put on trial by now my successor and i can governments, including mr. rick were missing, cuz i think the, the time for justice is long past mr. week promising his attitude to your question about justice for the victims. the callousness is just exemplifies the attitude of this. we're not going establishment with large and how we got to a point of you know, mass atrocities right on that scale. and just to say, of course, garza is very much on our minds at the moment, but there are unbearable similarities between what happened on the beaches of money by calling. what happened in gaza in both cases,

you have populations hemmed against the c subject to humanitarian siege. conditions, incessant aerial bombardment, with atrociously high casualties. you know, medical procedures being done without anesthetic on purpose. the un estimates that about 40000 people died in the space of 5 months. at the end of the war, a 1000 people were dying a day. many, many more and accounted for those crimes occurred because you have a political system of which mr. week from a single or is a part for the pa 70 is that is prioritized as necrotic politics. pleasing the majority at the expense of good government at the expense of fed us at the expense of justice, right at the expense of efficiency. so what happens when you get that? if you get escalating hatred against the gross when you get pull governance leading to economic collapse, let's bring in the day. but who's a former british? i'm pete served as an invoice for president bicker. i'm a senior when he was an office. we just respond to what you had from the door that about both the callousness of the approach to the world,

but also the lack of accountability for the roger foxes. if you you are part of the conservative party in the u. k. you know that david cameron conservative is called for international investigation, making, watching this interview, that is on the line spent, which you need to recognize and that he's at the enforcement of it on all day and see it on cop. he's much wanted president become a seeing her own house with all these precious books and paintings. but, but to this day, not a single person has been interested. so the question is not one president, victor, i'm seeing a can all and i'll to is whether that's that was a system of justice, east vibe of id to be here. fall. now that these valley or should focus high attention if you want to look had probably become

a thing as role in the ethic role. look at what he did when he was prime minister, when he invited the mtv to came up bob's and coming to the democratic system. and what's happened, he brought the team to one house was empty. if you decided to come into the democratic for the, i mean quite frankly, you see thing in the british father and as if you ever, if i was outraged the categories, what now he wouldn't cause and he would see to ponder was to become a thing you didn't investigate, we just talked about the roger fox as a war crimes. some people say you should be investigated during the early part of the civil war. this hunting government faced an uprising, as you know from the g p. a left disagree with his current leaders. now the president said, was his government commission of inquiry the found in the late eighty's, you quote, a main architect of securing a housing complex that was used for the purposes of immediately detaining, torturing, and killing individuals linked to the j b. p. the government inquire and reported that you quote, to say the least knew it was being used for any of the tensions and torture while you were living and watching that. you didn't know what was going on that you

weren't involved. right, the people, sorry. right. 34, it's called about the commission or the lead from the report. i just did read from the report. indeed from the report, it is quite clear from the available material the in so far as those you're here on the allocation of the houses in the you're really the main all types of being the then minister of industries mr. run over here. missing the i d 9, all you know a television and i'm asking you to quote that commission report different stuff, most of these things as opposed to the to original. so right, very the commission great. that function, the board mean table. there's a lot of evidence in this for what i might do. it is not what david does, that has to be a commissioned report at the reason of what's called the commissioner, the commission report. the commission report has to be there by don't. okay, but the report still exists, whether it's type of the button bottom one is on people in the report, a key witness. who was your cattle? you couldn't quote, trusted employee, testified that you were leading meetings about the torture of detainees that he

died. he was 36 years old just days before you testified to the commission. vincent fernando is his name and he testified that you wanted the suspects of beth alonda quote, destroyed. that's what he tested for you. never gave maybe didn't he did give it a no report that day, but then i think it'll be fine with that in screen. that time that doesn't mean cabs that the established in a novel form of housing scheme. at any case, that's probably not a bully environment that nothing to be found that in st. vincent stated the what he understood under the circumstances was it midst of it from a single one to the suspects, destroy nothing for the sake of despair. there i've had nothing to going when i was in the position i have even dealt with you at the news. you know, that was don't know, don't know. know he for. so you'll yard folding like density for the same industry . okay. but i'm telling you that i'm not able to do other appointments. obviously, that's free in front of the house and not the kind of babies and correspondent, the problem is, what do you make of what you're hearing about bottle, and what is the lack of accountability for beth alonda, the civil war? what does it mean from annual review? i'm flab augustus. i mean, i have

a copy of the report to says print the government rates on non, sorry, but the seats are not there, but the you, i mean what you're hearing from, from the present vicar missing years, brother in law, would you mind is as long as you're asking his remarks about as a vendor silva the general he referenced. i mean, those are astonishing to say that there isn't a case push of interest over to answer when the united states on the stage out to you and have made a case against him is awfully insulting to victims. and i think it just shows the impunity that he has. so fortunately, that's absolutely shocking. and we look basically at the daily prizing time, the late eighty's way towards who is endemic, when full disappearance happens on a massive scale. and we look at the connection between that and the civil war and what the connection is that you see the same electric perpetrators. and you might say also that some of the same politicians who involved in one area violence went on into the next day or on the thought of violence. and that's because there was never any accountability because it was complete impunity. and this just as a cycle that repeats itself, and i'm afraid that somebody who's been empowered,

that long needs to be answerable. so that is another problem. no accountability, sorry, process. i let the in the position you vosta going month to prosecute me if there's something wrong. and they said there was nothing to be prosecuted on high ones here in london. i love the hospital and i was in the process there time on the last 2 weeks of the wall trying to get in to see what really that can be do. and let's take some questions from this. let's go to the gentleman on the 5th row with the brown jump, mister, because i'm missing that you said in previous forms that you support, that palestinians enable rights to self determination. you've applaud in south africa. so the action that they're taking at the i c. j, you spoken about an independent southern state for the palestinian people. why is this the policy and double standards? why from the time that people not also have their own right to self determination and also their own international action that faces like the i c, j, the i c. c. the palestinians have been recognized as

a separate student. that has no internet, generally cutting each end quite a separate time. you stayed in 3 loc having said that, that is an issue which we still have to sign in on that uh, flashes that took place from 1983 to 2009. the numbers would be sophia and an odd size. the people are working and that we are moving towards by getting different rules. when i was basically doing how you guy or i demanded to be calling you back on track. there's a lot more to be done. that not off the ground, but these new going monthly lines. they have let us know what the policy is on the economy. the said that going ahead. we thought that started, that's good. then they really have to sink down towards the latter part of the and decide how it is to be taken forward. gentleman here in the 3rd row. yes. why is that the, the optimal for the civil war? the economic crisis, even off to this? no, i mean the east, the bombings, we can never get

a clear answer of what's going on. it's like what i'm of enough to talk to said about selecting cricket. you know, bunch them up. it's headed by a j. k. no i, i must say one thing a lot of records where the details, i'm sorry i couldn't do much but i, i my, my new the i the limited mandate that was made busy done it degree month of the body that the hands of the phenomena issues have done that and you're going for elections and then you'll bottom ones, we take all these up so it just keeps going state of being pending. but start on the show that you want them to know you've been hacked into what the state of things is that still not complete. so you asked me why, why are you telling me what specific issue you've? yeah, i know he's saying that i'd be in austin in specific questions about disappear and susan kelly. i've tried to get on these appearances. that is the investigation is going on. does not promote to be done. we cannot locate a reminder that most of them are not among the leaving that's, that's on. okay, let's take the questions. i need to ask you a question. i as

a witness from the back of itself on a survivor of the back of the war. i think i have the right to us discussion when the international community tried to bring the international criminal persecution mechanism for the atrocities and the genocide. those committed against talked in 2015. you hijacks and pretended to call sponsor a hybrid mechanism. and made sure it failed. i wanted to ask you if you are afraid of the mechanism coming to in place and what might come out. a leave of austin. yes . hi. yes. hi. yes, definitely. see done by the us. the correspondence 18. the 2015 penny agreed to post pharmacy. he asked me on. so i said go ahead. correspond say really can these sites that were 2 different views? so i said let us 1st come to an agreement and you can take it on the next day. and

loud section rich and even going to be asked for sponsoring now. uh no, really, to say don't at all how, how we come to a finance settlement. recently for us, very, the other thing was about a political settlement. this is the truth and justice about a process that holds people accountable for gross, you know, violations of human rights. and that's what she still came out of. i was asked why equals one so deep the c n y v. i didn't during this time because you are you, but you know, to get people who are posing the same, don't all right. and do you said any case you started all going to be or, or going to do things before the but that'll be maybe we've agreed to roll it over and pick up our positions in 2025. i wanted to form one position. okay. that'd be project dollar to get the gentleman here. yes, you signed up one months after the war and gaza started a right wing american at sink time published an article called

a roger packs applied for the complete destruction from us. and it went on to argue that israel should employee precisely the tactics that roger packs is unemployed. and these tactics, as we know, involved basically heading hundreds and thousands of innocent civilians into circle the know 5 seconds and then still offering them and bombing on. but importantly, then went on to say this to israel should then do the roger products is that i'm having nothing to do with any kind of international inquiry or process of accountability. does it? what do you, but you have faith. yes. to ensure that there was exactly such a process has actually encouraged, led to legitimize than justified the kind of ignoring of international humanitarian law that we are seeing was such a tragic consequences today and gaza. i haven't written that down because i really don't know what what, what exactly. i couldn't comment on it, but the idea that some people on the pro israel side seat, the roger puts

a model of war crimes of attacking hospitals, something to emulate. no, i that that wasn't all right, that's on hold. speak to the accept katelyn can can, can you let me finish say tax on house we to why they more than one of them. when do i thought about the media in the i was kind of hard to those came on the lines of william, glad into their head and being the locations we had the uh yeah for us and bombed any action was taken again, some of them. but the large scale, these thing, i wouldn't say that i have been one of them who have been interesting that on costs meters should not be dodge. and we've been through that. what happened during the last stages of the wall? yes, that will problems the i. i mean that i won't say north of that. us found that throughout the farm and the can i actually every hospital in the vonnie area with a permanent will make sure and it was in my thoughts and already know that that that one of the alpha was warming that be not duty for the shows that had fallen at that time, but in each instance, as we being able to intervene,

has opposition. items back falls as low as the delivery of humanitarian age sounds very. is there any introduction you go into you and panel establishment, bunkie, minutes, surrender, and government forces blow up the delivery of a to victims of the war. sounds very the issue and that's what i have to be at least. and i mean, that took place we were talking about the also is bombing that that told me that i want to get my judgment waiting, but no chairman, i cannot judge briefly in a quick up database. you run the wrong guy here asking um a b last question. you should have roger proxy. yeah. because he was destroyed by roger fox who stood advanced about device or i'm thinking it was the best thing the question i'm from liberty sounds for him. and even i do need to say i'm a 4th 1983 full of full grown more than 3000 times are queued. some of them bunch alert height, very nearly got killed. 10 voters remodeled my friend and he's done. hold on. so lucky people go into life on the road,

the businesses and houses of thomas are burnt, as are covered, at least at the time. what did you do? how you want to respond to by finding that if you would use any pets, but like being through that, why the new man, i've seen my time in certain subsidy, i am in no way of defending that. that does wrong. because for that that people are getting killed me try that best and stop fan with the key thing. but i immediately opened up the schools said they really want to buy mean and started supplying for them. so that's, that's what type of do that may not be enough, but i did what type of do. but we also thing the 1st 2 days. i'm going all out uh, i know places and yeah, i want to know is also doing a lot from there. but i won't go into the details, accept what was the wrong, we accept responsible for the full time zone committed inside know, we know, let me finish. it was, you know, it was don't at all times we. i mean you didn't, you didn't during the whole crime supplement, i might, i have said yeah,

sorry. how about that that but what i was on the car into the times they don't want currently under was horrible things, you know, look that out, right. so you know a lot on tuesday, but a good but, but we have so normally what happened was wrong and that the, the beginning of a good day, only thing last questionnaire were out of town. yes. if you want to send them. yes . in october 2023, you owed it to police to release land and minus the money mazda of an 8, in particular, back to the time with farmers. however, you couldn't get it done until this day. similar specialist on a buddhist monk continued to encroach on these lines. so given sherlock as long history of failings act on such issues, those must to select a deeper problem of single up with a nationalist as not received within the state. what was the weight encroach? i is, that's the one. 0 yeah, that's the point needs to boeing thing on us. and system b land that needs to be good for people in particular. what that means and the most name system be instances managed for them. and also how come i chose to develop, but that's, that's the ruling idea of. so that land has to be given there how to distribute into our,
