Having seen this minister's previous appearances in Geneva. It looks like GOSL is willingly courting a disaster again.

The issue is credibility. No amount of additional persons can uplift the credibility this country has lost because of liars like this delegation.

Shankar Tuesday, 18 February 2014 10:35 AM

Rightly said. They have already spent billion of ruppees to hire an US firm to handle this issue with US which is ended up in useless.

They have still not decided on the delegates. This shows how serious these guys treat the issue. The outcome is foregone. Just do not waste our money stay in SL

Calistus Jayatilleke Tuesday, 18 February 2014 10:12 AM

This time the government is unsure of the competence of the incompetents who are already assigned to lead the delegation so they go on adding more incompetents to complete the team. All these guys are going to have a fantastic time n Geneva and come back to tell more lies to the common man.

losers keep winging going down the political abyss, bless you all in the name of mother lanka.

You can also do some shopping for branded items at our expense and repeat those old stories about how they took up Sri Lanka's case. By the way since the composition of the delegation has not been finalized don't forget to include Mr. Muralitheran also. Cheers
