While welcoming the new Sri Lankan government's decision to initiate a local probe into alleged war crimes in Sri Lanka, the United Nations said that the UN Chief's call and the UNHR Chief's call for Sri Lanka to cooperate with the UN inquiry will stand.
"Obviously, we welcome — you know, we would welcome any move that would help to bring light what's happened in Sri Lanka. But the Secretary-general’s call and the High Commissioner's call for cooperation with the UN inquiries stand," Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General said addressing the daily press briefing.
