The United Nations said that it is up to different Member States to determine whether there will be an international process on alleged war crimes against Sri Lanka.

“Ultimately, it’s up to different Member States to determine whether there will be an international process. We have presented information to them and we’ve made clear what we believe is the need for accountability and we rely on the Member States’ judgment to follow through,” , the Acting Deputy Spokesperson for the United Nations Secretary-General, Farhan Haq told media.

He said “We’ve made it clear that there needs to be more done to get at the heart of what happened in Sri Lanka. You’ve seen what the Secretary-General’s reports on the situation have said and it’s clear that there continues to be a need for all the facts to be learned and for there to be a study of whether there’s any wrongdoing that’s occurred in the course of the final phases of the Sri Lankan conflict. The Secretary-General has said that repeatedly and we continue to hold by that.”

The toothless and gutless UN only picks on weak nations while the more powerful violate with impunity

ultimately it is Colombo's decision to give evidence and the supporting documents of 30 years of war incl. what LITE & those who supported LITE. Then end it.

No you idiot.....the UN should look into other countries with bigger offenses than us. Some like the US still have ongoing rights violations.

Hi ah, Why don't you ask the UN to make an independent inquiry in to the war crimes they committed in the recent past if you are un-biased
