The foreign ministers of Britain and France said they had failed to secure an agreement from Sri Lanka to end an offensive against Tamil rebels and allow humanitarian access to civilians trapped by the fighting.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner met their counterpart Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama today and urged him to put a cease-fire in place and to allow humanitarian access to safe zone.
"We tried very hard, we insisted, and we insisted, but it is up to our friends to allow it or not," French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told a news conference after talks with his Sri Lankan counterpart.
British Foreign Secretary David Miliband also indicated that the talks had ended in failure, reminding the Sri Lankan government that calls for a ceasefire were "only to save civilians" and not the Tamil Tigers.
Brad Adams, Asia Director for Human Rights Watch predicted the talks to fails and said, "David Miliband, the foreign secretary, will travel to Colombo with the French and Swedish foreign ministers. The Sri Lankan government, riding high as the end of the Tigers' military campaign appears imminent, will remain obstinate, claiming that it is a democracy fighting terrorism and must be allowed to finish the Tigers off. But the message to Colombo must be clear. There will be a reckoning."
The two Foreign ministers also urged "respect for international humanitarian law and protection of civilians."
Bogollagama is reported to have told Miliband and French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner that Colombo is doing everything possible to save innocent Tamil civilians trapped in conflict area.
In last September the Sri Lankan government ousted the Aid agencies from Vanni and banned independent media from north. The UN or the world countries didnot raise voice against their ouster until the humanitarian crisis escalated and reached a volatile level.
Close to 200,000 people who left safe zone and entered in to military controlled area were herded in to many detention centres. Aid workers who have visited the detention centres have testified to food shortages, woeful sanitation, a desperate medical situation and chronic overcrowding.

I think media people can do this. So the editor of the Tamilnational.com "could you please make sure Hilary, Milband and Solheim receive this photos.
Sanctions
Don't they know they can push for a complete sanction against the
Neo Nazis and shut them down and make them coming begging.







“When genocide was the question, Hillary Clinton by talking ‘post-conflict’ Sri Lanka, indirectly signalled the genocide to take its course.
“The UN is accused of shielding a criminal government, of sitting on any move of intervention and of abetting capture, torture and indefinite imprisonment of Tamil civilians by genocidal Colombo.
“The UN refused to discuss the genocide in Sri Lanka. Even the civilian issue was ‘too sensitive’ for it. At every stage it wanted the capture of civilians by genocidal Colombo. But when the civilians were captured it was not there to guarantee them their freedom of movement. Many of them still languish completely in the hands of Sri Lanka Army.
“Sri Lanka president turned down the request of UN humanitarian chief John Holmes to have access to civilians outside the camps. The personal appeal of Moon for a humanitarian team to enter the so-called safety zone was also turned down by Colombo. It is obvious what role the UN is up to play in future in abetting the structural genocide of Tamils planned by Colombo.
“Many fail to give due importance to the role being played by Japan in funding genocidal Colombo at every stage. Besides there were China and Russia, which played calculated mischief.
“A shameful organized crime, for the first time in contemporary history, has been registered in the behaviour of the international media in abetting the genocide, and not covering it. Now they are busy in spinning yarns with the captured civilians.
“Meanwhile, Monday morning Colombo announced halting the use of heavy weapons on the ‘no-fire’ zone. But throughout the day and the night that followed it showered fire from all types of heavy weapons including aerial bombing.
“EU ministers timed their visit after the testing of the ‘genocide bomb’.
“Even then, Colombo said that one of them, the Swedish minister, is not want.
“Colombo, the Frankenstein Monster is now dictating terms to the IC. But the monster is set loose calculatedly.
“The international community is silent, issuing only statements to hoodwink.
“It is reliably learnt that India has set an agenda for Colombo to accomplish the massacre. Indian home minister Chidambaram’s statement on Sunday that the war will be over in 48 hours is an affidavit for the premeditated crime of the deployment of the ‘genocide bomb’.
“All evidences indicate that the ruling circles of the international community premeditated the testing of the ‘genocide bomb’ on Tamils.”
