Japanese Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada, who met his Sri Lankan counterpart G.L Peiris in Tokyo today, urged Sri Lanka to reconcile with the United Nations following their standoff over alleged war crimes committed by government forces in the country, Japan's Kyodo news agency reported.

Meanwhile Japanese Cabinet ministers urged visiting Sri Lankan External Affairs Minister G.L Peiris to allay international concerns over alleged war crimes committed last year by Sri Lankan forces in the country, Japanese officials said.

UN is not playing fair. For equity to prevail they should be appointing a commision to investigate the 90K + documents recently leaked on NATO activities in Afganistan.

It appears to me that all are very bias comments. There are lot of mouths to look after the human rights of terrorists. Who will look after the human rights of thousands who got killed in bus bombs, train bombs, road side bombs, hotel bombs, central bank bomb, Maligawa bomb, Sri Maha bodhi bomb, Indian Air port bomb, in border villages. Forget about the billions worth of properties lost. Were those victims not innocent enough to talk about their rights or we are still worried about the rights of the terrorists??

We are an insignificant tiny island in the Indian ocean and not of much importance. It's time we realized this!

Faqi Thursday, 29 July 2010 04:51 PM

How can they reconcile with the UN when they are after Moon's blood?

Rajapaksa Thursday, 29 July 2010 02:00 PM

Japan is a good friend of Sri Lanka. What they suggest is for the benefit of the country.

Calistus Jayatilleke Thursday, 29 July 2010 01:44 PM

Now, some patriot should demonstrate opposite the Japanese embassy too for this brazen interference in our internal matters!

Jay Thursday, 29 July 2010 01:23 PM

Now what is the SL government going to do? Even it's allies are stepping back....

paul Thursday, 29 July 2010 01:14 PM

There are 192 countries in the UN. I think Mr G.L. Peiris will get the same response from all of them.
