UNP MP Mangala Samaraweera said today that there is a possibility of Sri Lanka being taken before the International Criminal Court (ICC) before the end of this year by the International Community on the allegations of human rights violations leveled against the country during the war.

Addressing a press conference he said that the government has resorted to laughable acts in rejecting the allegations without conducting a proper investigation. He added that the government should be thankful to Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe as it was because Sri Lanka did not become a signatory to the ICC when he was the Prime Minister that the present government is safe for the moment.

He noted that even a country that is not a signatory to the ICC could be hauled before it on the recommendations of the UN Security Council.

This man is day dreaming to come to power at any cost. This man is the fool of the century in Sri Lanka and good enough to contest the world"s biggest idiot contest.
