Congratulatory Message and Urgent Memorandum regarding the Rights and Justice for Eelam Tamils
Honourable Chief Minister Vijay,
On behalf of ABC Tamil Oli and the global community of human
rights defenders and researchers, I extend my heartiest congratulations to you
on your historic victory and your inauguration as the Chief Minister of Tamil
Nadu.
Your unconventional and visionary start—marked by immediate
executive actions and a clear break from traditional political theatre—has
ignited a new flame of hope, not only within the borders of Tamil Nadu but also
among the global Tamil diasporas. As you embark on this journey to lead the
"political startup" of a new generation, we look to your leadership
to champion the cause of the most vulnerable members of our Tamil fraternity.
As an Independent Researcher and Human Rights Defender, I am
compelled to bring to your immediate attention three critical issues concerning
the Eelam Tamils, whose survival and dignity remain precariously balanced. I
urgently request that your administration take the following actions:
1. Recognition of Eelam Tamils’ Indigenous Rights
The Tamil people of the North and East of Sri Lanka are the
indigenous inhabitants of their traditional homeland. We urge the Government of
Tamil Nadu to formally recognize the indigenous rights of Eelam Tamils. Such
recognition from the "Mother State" of Tamil Nadu provides essential
moral and political leverage in international forums, affirming their right to
self-determination and the preservation of their ancestral lands, language, and
culture.
2. Motion for an International Investigation into the Tamil
Genocide
The wounds of the 2009 genocide remain unhealed due to a
persistent lack of accountability. We request that the Tamil Nadu Legislative
Assembly pass a fresh, historic motion urging the Union Government of India and
the United Nations to facilitate an independent international investigation
into:
● Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity, and War Crimes committed against the Tamil people.
● The potential Crimes of Aggression perpetrated by the Sri
Lankan state.
Tamil Nadu must lead the way in demanding a transition
from "internal processes" to an international judicial mechanism to
ensure lasting justice for the victims.
3. Review of MOUs and Inclusion of
Tamil Consent in Bilateral Agreements
For too long, Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) and economic
agreements have been signed between India and Sri Lanka that directly impact
the Tamil homelands without the consent or consultation of the Tamil people. We
request your government to:
● Urge the Union Government to halt all current MOUs signed
without the explicit consent of the representative Tamil leadership.
● Mandate that any future MOUs or bilateral economic
projects involving the North and East must include the Tamils as primary
stakeholders to ensure that "development" does not become a tool for
demographic change or further dispossession.
Chief Minister, you have stated that
"all 8 crore people are your people." We humbly remind you that the
Tamil identity transcends the Palk Strait. Your leadership has the power to
transform the quest for justice from a decades-long struggle into a modern,
actionable reality.
We look forward to seeing your "New Age"
administration become a bastion of justice for Tamils worldwide.
With the highest regards and expectations,
Sincerely,
ABC Tamil Oli
