US bans military aid to SL

By Mendaka Abeysekera, US Correspondent

The Obama administration is likely to ban military assistance to Sri Lanka until the Mahinda Rajapaksa government improves its human rights record and also the rights involving the minority Tamils.
Under the US foreign operation appropriation bill(S 1434), which makes appropriations for the department of state, foreign operations, and related programmes for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2010, no defence export license is to be issued, and no military equipment or technology shall be sold or transferred to Sri Lanka, until Colombo authorities meet several conditions.
According to section 7091, the Sri Lankan government is expected to suspend and bring to justice members of the military who allegedly “violated internationally recognized human rights or international humanitarian law; and agree to the establishment of a field presence of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights in Sri Lanka with sufficient staff and mandate to conduct full and unimpeded monitoring throughout the country and to publicize its findings.’’
