Colombo: Sri Lanka has discarded the proposal of UN for an international inquiry into the allegations of rights abuse and war crimes during the ethnic violence in the country. Regarding this, the Government of Sri Lanka has categorically stated that its constitution has a ‘preconceived, politicized and prejudicial agenda’. The statement from Colombo was with respect to the latest report of Ms. Navi Pillay, the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights. The denial indicates that Sri Lankan Government is not interested in the international intervention regarding this issue. So, the U.S. sponsored resolution on this matter would be presented convention in the Geneva convention soon.
The allegations against Colombo are war crimes, rights abuse, state repression of the media and attack on religious freedom. In the reports there are citations on evidence too. The Sri lankan government has categorically stated that the allegations are absolutely baseless.
