The Government said today that it regretted to note that the United States has not taken into account the accountability measures taken by the government in the past months. “It is unfortunate that the US has not taken note of all the accountability measures we have taken thus far,” Minister of Mass Media and the Government Spokesperson Keheliya Rambukwella said.

“We have proved sufficiently to the international community including the United Nations with evidence of the humanitarian measures we took during the last stages of the war. We have answered every question quite adequately,” he said.

He further added that the government had not made any direct report to the US of the accountability measures taken by the government. “We have commented on these allegations so many times,” he said.

However the Minister noted that the government was not trivialising the ultimatum by the US. “It would be wrong to say that we are not taking their statement seriously,” he said. (Dianne Silva)

If GOSL has done nothing wrong, why do you have to take the US dictatum seriously? If as you claim, all accountability issues on war crimes have been addressed transparently and honestly and is still being rejected by IC, then why dont you allow a complete independent investigation into all these allegations, so that the whole world can laugh at the IC if proved wrong or are you worried that the whole world can spit on you and your masters if proved right.
