The Sri Lankan government will not agree to an international investigation looking into former president Mahinda Rajapaksa’s involvement in war crimes.
Cabinet spokesperson Rajitha Senaratne said the government will set up a domestic mechanism to investigate the allegations.
He said the government would not agree, even if the report by the OHCHR Investigation in Sri Lanka (OISL) recommended an international court for those accused of war crimes.
