A official from the UN Human Rights office, Richard Bennett, is to head the staff supporting the three member panel appointed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and began meetings today, a UN Spokesperson said.
 

“The panel will continue to meet over the next three days to put together the small team that will be working on the panel, all team members will be full time members with prior experience, but this does not start the four month time line for the report they are to produce on the compliance of Sri Lanka's “Lessons Learnt” panel with international standards for inquiries into war crimes,” Spokesperson for Ban Ki Moon, Martin Nesirky told reporters in New York a short while ago.
