This video represents the incompetence of the UN with the Sri Lankan civil war. The UN sent in peacekeepers and aid after the conflict had been reportedly finished. They did this to identify if the Sri Lankan government and/ or the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam had committed abuses against human rights. I think it was completely useless that they sent people in to identify this after the conflict had ended and, for the most part, been sorted out. Although it does seem useless, the UN is also helping the Tamil minority regain power and spread equality throughout Sri Lanka. They are doing this by talking to the government and also supplying the needy Tamil with water pumps and wells, food, etc. The Sinhalese government has said that they will use the same power that they had to vanquish and eliminate the Tamil to bring their rights back to them. They also said, once they were accused of committing acts against humanity, that they had just sent out a humanitarian operation that were trying to free the Tamil civilians from the clutches of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. Although the UN has sent in aid now, I think it should have taken action sooner, not turning the other cheek while the atrocities were taking the place and coming in after it had ended.
