“…The Secretary General encourages Sri Lanka to cooperate with the inquiry led by the office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights that was established by the Human Rights Council.  He reiterates the importance for the Government and the people of Sri Lanka to constructively engage with the entire UN system as it would help the country make constant progress development, lasting peace and protection of Human Rights,” Spokesman for the Secretary-General Stéphane Dujarric told media.

    No wonder why Sasika is eagerly waiting as he is siting in the EEC umbrella. We Sri Lankan's know what LTTE and Diaspora is doing to destroy our mother nation.

    True. He is US appointed so he wags his tail when US wants. Afraid to speak about UK, US and the west who have violated human rights and killed so many innocent. Pillay is the same. Keep your jobs safe Ban and Pillay.

    Bcos 40,000 innocent civilians were not killed in just few days.

    The stupid comments are by the Sinhalese. Obviously they will be internationaly a shameful race when the truth comes out.

    Dear UN why dont you say this to Israel. Even this minute infants and kids being slaughtered. Isnt it a war crime.

    Suq Madique Wednesday, 20 August 2014 10:59 AM

    To you even prabakaran must have been 'honorable' also I didn't know you spoke on behalf of the entire tamil population.

    kumar Wednesday, 20 August 2014 10:58 AM

    Don't worry! they will teach you how to dance.

    Suq Madique Wednesday, 20 August 2014 10:58 AM

    The cowardly Ban doesn't have the guts to confront the bigger violators of human rights, the US. He prefers to come after tiny SL based on mere allegations so he can keep his job.

    semage Wednesday, 20 August 2014 10:52 AM
