UN Chief Ban Ki Moon has emphasized the need to find a political solution without further delay to the underlying factors of the Sri Lanka’s past conflict, the UN News centre said.

This was revealed during a meeting between the UN Chief and Minister for External Affairs, G. L. Peiris in New York on Monday. They, “…exchanged views on the post-conflict situation in the Asian nation and cooperation with the United Nations,” it said.

Mr. Ban noted the Sri Lankan Government’s latest efforts to implement the recommendations of its Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission, as well as the steady progress and remaining tasks on resettlement efforts in the country’s north, it added.

Why are the refugees being shuttling between camps, without relocating them in the original Habitat.

The joint photograph is the only gift to you GL. Ban cannot be charmed any more. He and the UN needs "Deeds".

The Secy. General and the U.N is unable to stop the mass killings in Syria and the deaths caused in Pakistan by "drones". They are today just a top-heavy and emasculated non-entity, whose enormous budget is spent more for their own staff than for anything useful. As Minister G.L.Peiris says, apply rules to all, irrespective of the nation. Then the UN will be taken seriously.
