Rajapaksa has failed – David Cameron
Britain’s Premier David Cameron said today that Sri Lanka’s President has failed to address “issues of the past”.
Speaking to his parliament in the House of Commons, the prime minister said that he urged leaders from several countries to support the “crucial” resolution for an international investigation.
“President Rajapaksa has failed to address the issue of the past properly, so in the coming hours the United Nations will vote on a UK-sponsored resolution for an international and independent investigation into alleged war crimes. At the Council, I secured the full backing of all EU member states for this approach and it is reflected in the conclusions of the Council. At The Hague I urged leaders from countries as diverse as South Korea, Kazakhstan, Gabon and Japan to support this crucial resolution.”
