iPolitics 'If Dias showed up in Canada as a private individual, one could argue he would be prosecutable under this country's Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act.' Flag of Sri Lanka The government of Sri Lanka has announced that it intends to send its next high commissioner, Air Marshal Sumangala Dias, to Canada. Yet there is compelling evidence that Dias is criminally responsible for massive violations of international human rights, including the mass killing of innocents. If Dias were to show up in Canada as a private individual, one could argue he would be prosecutable under this country’s Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act. However, as high commissioner, he would be immune from prosecution. The Canadian government should refuse to accept Dias as high commissioner, which it has every right to do.
