Ban wants to strengthen domestic processes in SL

UN Chief Ban Ki-moon has encouraged Sri Lanka to engage constructively with the international community and cooperate with the proposed human rights inquiry to strengthen the existing domestic processes.

UN Chie’s deputy spokesman Farhan Haq told media that the Secretary-General supports the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and commends the leadership she has demonstrated to assist Sri Lanka in advancing accountability and reconciliation.

“ The Secretary-General fully understands the challenges and complexity related to post-war processes, and therefore encourages the Government of Sri Lanka to engage constructively with the international community, to strengthen the existing domestic processes in a manner that is inclusive and respectful of human rights and to work towards lasting peace in Sri Lanka,” he said.
