Asian Human Rights Commission, April 14, 2011
The Sri Lankan government issued a statement in which it stated that it had received a copy of the panel’s report and that it rejected the content as being ‘flawed’ and ‘biased’. The Sri Lankan government did not mention the content of the report and on what specific issues it disagreed on.
The UN panel commissioned to advise the UN Secretary General on several issues relating to the period covering the end of the war with the LTTE has now submitted its report. The content of the report has not yet been published. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have called on the UN Secretary General to publish the contents of this report.
This report was awaited globally since the appointment of the panel by the Secretary General. The appointment preceded several months of debate from all over the world on the responsibility of the UN relating to the event that occurred in Sri Lanka towards the end of the war with the LTTE. There were serious violations of human rights abuse which the government continuously denied.
