We continue to urge the Sri Lankan government to co-operate with the investigation in line with recent calls made by Zeid Al Hussein, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights.</p><p>In its 22 September oral update, the OHCHR stated “that a more fundamental and far-reaching accountability process in Sri Lanka, addressing both past and ongoing violations, is absolutely necessary for Sri Lankans to come to terms with their past, end impunity, achieve reconciliation between communities and strengthen the rule of law.” In March 2015, the OHCHR will provide a comprehensive report of the investigation to the UN Human Rights Council.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 13/10/2014 13:20:12 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
