Human violations committed during the Sri Lanka conflict must be subject to an independent, international investigation, former UN Assistant Secretary General Denis Halliday was quoted by Irish Times.

“Sri Lanka has been forgotten, despite the staggering violations of human rights, the war crimes and the crimes against humanity that took place there,” he has said. “All this has been ignored.”

if we have nothing to hide, we have nothing to worry about.

DUWI Friday, 08 October 2010 06:15 AM

The War Crimes were committed by the LTTE by holding civilians as a HUMAN SHIELD to try and stop the inevitable defeat.

Please investigate the LTTE first.

GOVSL Friday, 08 October 2010 06:40 AM

Investigating LTTE acts underway with the help of KP and the gang...

knight Rider Friday, 08 October 2010 06:45 AM

is this being followed in Afghan and all that happened in Vietnam ?

Jim Dougal Friday, 08 October 2010 08:06 AM

A little difficult as the leaders of the LTTE who were not executed by the Sri Lankan Army are now effectively a part of the government, or certainly being nurtured by it.

Jim Dougal Friday, 08 October 2010 08:07 AM

What on earth are you trying to say?!?! And talking of money perhaps you should invest some in English classes.

Jim Dougal Friday, 08 October 2010 08:09 AM

Good idea, we can string up Bush, Blair and MR in a line, you agree?

Jim Dougal Friday, 08 October 2010 08:10 AM

Go back to sleep you are not missing much here!

basi Friday, 08 October 2010 08:22 AM

Absolutely. That's what prabhakaran had..

iddasiri Friday, 08 October 2010 09:41 AM

Yes, of course including Iraq, Afganistan, Palastine, Sudan, Kasmir, Pakistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia etc. etc.

Nalaka Friday, 08 October 2010 06:15 AM

God is scrutinizing all those rabid diasphora who funded terrorism as well. hopefully he will catchup to them before he gets the better guys.

kanniah Friday, 08 October 2010 10:47 AM

Criminals can escape temporarily. But they will be punished eternally god's kingdom.

TDDC Friday, 08 October 2010 02:36 PM

Denis forgotten that US did syphilis experiments using prisoners women mental patients in Gothamala. Forget about Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Denis should start at least from Gothamala.

thusi Friday, 08 October 2010 04:20 PM

thusi Friday, 08 October 2010 04:21 PM

thusi Friday, 08 October 2010 04:23 PM

Hello.....they were not in the battle field.....they were aborod like KP....

Don Friday, 08 October 2010 06:50 PM

It sounds like Irish. Only they could sit on a panel on their own, watch fake videos and reach damning conclusions to satisfy sponsoring LTTE renegades.

Alakar Friday, 08 October 2010 07:19 PM

WHAT IS KILLING THIS COUNTRY IS , PEOPLE ARE NOT ABLE TO SAY WRONG IS WORNG, RIGHT IS RIGHT!

Faqi Friday, 08 October 2010 07:55 PM

Why is Sri Lanka and the comments here so defensive. If we have nothing to hide, then let anyone investigate. Are we so defensive as we have something to hide from the outside world?

Roshan DW Saturday, 09 October 2010 07:49 AM

No war is clean..To win a war you play dirty or you loose.Come on Irish.. you sort out your problems at home.Unemployment over 23% !!

eddy Saturday, 09 October 2010 09:03 AM

whats wrong with UN. Every now and then like wage earners shouting war crimes. Seems like its unbecoming.Next time we should bring them in and charge them for instigating war crimes or misleading.

indika Friday, 08 October 2010 05:07 AM

He is digging the past Where as US AND UK doing it PRESENT. No inquiries. Why is that ? First stop present incidents, Then we can start from Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

zzz Friday, 08 October 2010 04:43 AM

It is under Gods scrutiny.

Top Sri Lankan Friday, 08 October 2010 04:45 AM

ASFAR Friday, 08 October 2010 04:46 AM

SL Friday, 08 October 2010 04:46 AM

But, the staggering violations of human rights, the war crimes and the crimes against humanity taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan; you don't even mention it.

zzz Friday, 08 October 2010 04:46 AM

It is under Gods scrutiny and He is not slow.

Christopher Friday, 08 October 2010 04:46 AM

Totally out of mind... You cannot compare Sri lanka with Dafur ? or Afganistan or Iraq.

Absolutely, authorities will twist and turn, but not aware consequences of their sin carried to their third fourth generations!

Kan Friday, 08 October 2010 05:18 AM

Why IC do not understand that Sri Lanka declared war on terrorists and not ethnic cleansing like Bosnia, Darfur and elsewhere.Here all the communities are living in peace and there is no ethnic conflict except a few rights to be given to minorities and their status preserved.

kasun Friday, 08 October 2010 05:20 AM

Well said..

Kasthuri Friday, 08 October 2010 05:21 AM

Just got up after a long nap after a scary dream.

Ranjan Friday, 08 October 2010 05:25 AM

He is the former assistant secretary general. So we shouldn't answer to every dick and harry who has doubts about our army's human rights records.
