An economy of genocide: Israel and Francesca Albanese’s report

Francesca Albanese’s report for the United Nations Human Rights CouncilΒ makes for stark and dark reading, writes Binoy Kampmark.

Tamils walk for justice

Two groups of Tamils walked from Glen Waverley and Sunshine to the Melbourne CBD on March 15 to β€œalert Australians to war crimes and genocide in Sri Lanka”. The walkers converged in front of the State Library, where a rally was held. The Campaign for Tamil Justice organised the walk to coincide with a meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council. The UNHRC meeting had been expected to hear a report on Sri Lanka by the UN human rights commissioner, but this has been delayed for at least six months.
