Re: U.N.  Envoy to Sri Lanka

Dear Secretary Ban and U.N. members:

We are writing in support of proposals to appoint a special U.N. envoy to Sri Lanka. This envoy's task would be to find a clear vision of and a meaningful end to the conflict there.

We are disappointed with the bickering that always arises between representatives of the belligerent parties in Sri Lanka and the conflicting accounts of events they always seem to offer. We hope that the new U.N. envoy will be able to discover a clear and truthful picture of the situation in Sri Lanka. This envoy might then be able to propose a solution to the sixty-year-old conflict.

The U.N. envoy should be a person of stature to whom U.N. members and the world at large will listen. We suggest former U.S. president Bill Clinton or former secretary general Kofi Annan, both of whom have prior experience with Sri Lanka.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

Tamils for Obama
