JO requests for debate on UNHRC Resolution on April 6 – Daily Mirror
March 29, 2017 By Abdul Nazeer Leave a Comment
The Joint Opposition (JO) had requested for a debate in Parliament on April 6 to go through the content of the UNHRC Resolution, the Daily Mirror learns.
The JO earlier claimed that the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution which was passed without a vote in Geneva last week was detrimental to the sovereignty of the country.
JO leader MP Dinesh Gunawardena said the approval had been granted for the debate based on a request they made during the Party Leaders' Meeting held in Parliament on Friday.
Addressing the weekly news briefing of the JO, the MP said the incumbent Government had gone ahead with the resolution placing the Government's interest at first, unlike previous Government, which thought about the country first.
"Some of the resolution recommendations violate the Constitution. Especially the sixth clause which recommends foreign judges and prosecutors in an accountability mechanism is a clear violation of the Constitution. Though Prime Minister has said that there was no room for foreign judges in a domestic mechanism, the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) keep pushing for a new Constitution to make room for foreign judges," he said.
He said Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera had violated the Constitution by agreeing to the Clause 6 and requesting only for a two-year extension to implement all recommendations without amending the 6th Clause.
However, Foreign Minister Samaraweera on Tuesday said neither the Government nor the international community was obsessed with the inclusion of foreign judges in a domestic mechanism to probe into war crime charges.
He said the Government's main concern was to create a fair, independent and credible judicial mechanism. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Search Sailors Snug Harbor Cemetery:
The Sailors' Snug Harbor Cemetery was originally part of the Sailors' Snug Harbor Retirement Home campus (now called Snug Harbor Cultural Center) on Staten Island, NY and later became separated from the campus when the property around it was sold for residential development (Randall Manor) in the late 1920s. There were approximately 6,500 Merchant Mariners interred at the Cemetery during Sailors' Snug Harbor years of operation (1833-1976). In 1976, the SSH Retirement Home was closed and its campus & buildings were sold to the City of New York and then used for the Snug Harbor Cultural Center. However, the SSH Cemetery was not sold and is still owned by the Trustees of Sailors' Snug Harbor. The Cemetery was closed and is not open to the public.
The Cemetery is located a few street blocks south of the Snug Harbor Cultural Center Campus, next to Allison Pond Park (corner of Brentwood Ave & Prospect Ave), and has a large red brick wall around it which blocks the view of the cemetery grounds. The Cemetery's old main entrance gate is near Prospect Ave at the end of a driveway next to a private residence and is locked. There is no Cemetery signage. Sadly, the Cemetery is devoid of gravestones or markers except for the 15 gravestones which were removed to prevent vandalism. FindAGrave members should not request photos of gravestones at this Cemetery. The few removed gravestones were badly eroded with no readable information on them and some were stored in various SSH buildings basements and some other locations. In the past, metal grave markers where also used and they rusted away over time. In the future, the Descendants of SSH Mariners hope to raise money to purchase a Memorial Monument to honor all of the SSH Mariners and work with the Trustees of Sailors Snug Harbor to place it in the Cemetery.
Sailors' Snug Harbor has an interesting history. It was one of the first large scale retirement facilities in the United States. It was founded by the Randall family whom were New York City Sea Captains and Privateers during the French Indian War and American Revolution. Alexander Hamilton was a friend of the Randall Family and their Attorney. He helped write the Robert Richard Randall Will in 1801 that created the Trust of Sailors' Snug Harbor which still exists today and helps Merchant Mariners with financial assistance.
The Descendants of SSH Mariners are working on a project with SUNY Maritime College Library to research the lives of the ten thousand forgotten Mariners whom resided at Sailors' Snug Harbor

US Army National Guard orders additional acoustic devices from LRAD
LRAD has been awarded a contract for supply of additional 100X, 300X and 500X long range acoustic hailing devices (AHDs) to the US Army National Guard (ANG).
The $487,000 award follows a $1.9m contract secured by the company last month for the provision of 500X and 100X devices to US Army Reserves for installation on Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) and High-Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs).
Under the terms of the new contract, the company will deliver undisclosed units of AHDs and support equipment, such as wireless kits to the ANG.
LRAD Corporation president and CEO Tom Brown said the LRADs would enable the ANG personnel to rapidly transmit evacuation orders and also aid information to weather or CBRN-effected populations when normal communication infrastructure fails.
"No other AHD delivers such highly intelligible long-range voice broadcasts as the portable, lightweight series of LRAD-X systems," Brown claimed.
"Our proprietary LRAD systems broadcast safe, but powerful voice messages and warning tones that help keep soldiers and civilians out of harms way when National Guard units are deployed during foreign, national and regional actions and emergencies."
The LRAD 100X, 300X and 500X are lightweight and rugged sonic weapons, designed to relay focused, multi-language voice commands and deterrent tones, which can be clearly heard and understood in any type of terrain and weather conditions, in a range of 200 yards to 1.5 miles.
Self contained and hand portable, the LRAD 100X produces messages and commands 20-30dB louder than most megaphones, while LRAD 500X offers a highly directional audio communication capability capable of achieving maximum sound projection and penetration beyond 2,000m.
The compact 300X generates approximately 100% intelligible voice transmission over 88dB of background noise, enabling operators to issue clear, authoritative verbal commands, from small vessels, common remotely operated weapon station (CROWS) and armoured vehicles.
Deliveries under the contract are scheduled to be complete by the end of this year.
