UN wants SL to allow HR monitors see for themselves
"I have asked the Sri Lanka government to allow human rights monitors there. I have not got any response. I am going to press for that," Navanethem Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, told reporters here.
Pillay raised the Sri Lankan issues during her discussion with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee here today.
"Our view is that you can never succeed through military solution. The problem can be solved politically," she said.
She said the UN wants the Lankan government to ensure safety of civilians. (PTI)
