proposed investigations into the killing of civilians during the recent conflict in Sri Lanka will not be on the UN Security Council (UNSC) agenda this month, the Presidency of the Security Council for the month of June has said.

Claude Heller, Mexico’s Permanent Representative to the UN, said that the issue on Sri Lanka was a sensitive issue but was not on the Council's agenda during Mexico's presidency in June.

The Secretary-General could take action, but for the time being, there had been no initiative in the Council, the UN quoted him as saying. (Daily Mirror online)
