UN: Sri Lanka failed to meet appointments investigate war crimes

Colombo (Reuters)-Sri Lanka has failed to fulfill promises to investigate serious human rights violations and allegations that thousands of civilians were killed in the final stages of the ethnic war in that country, the UNITED NATIONS said in a report.

HUMAN RIGHTS experts report that found that an investigation by the local government is not convinced and is not independent and impartial nature.

The report, seen by AFP on Wednesday, presented to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Monday.

"The steps being taken to investigate allegations of serious violations of HUMAN RIGHTS crimes are not conclusive and no independent and impartial nature," the report said.

The document, drawn up by experts who visited Sri Lanka in September, called on the Government to form a "truth search mechanisms" to "transitional justice" in a country that recently rose from nearly four decades of ethnic conflict.

According to the document, the severe human rights violations, including the killing of 17 aid workers from France charitable foundation in August 2006, was not investigated even though the Government has promised to immediately bring the perpetrators to justice.

Also there is no transparency in the investigation of claims about military killings without trial during the final stages of the war.

Sri Lankan troops launched a major offensive to crush the Liberation Tigers of Tamil rebel group Eelam ('S LTTE) in 2009 which ended the nearly four-decade ethnic war in the country.

However, the victory over Sri Lanka'S LTTE forces spark the widespread allegations of human rights violations.

In September 2011, Amnesty International based in London, quoting eyewitnesses and aid workers who said, at least 10,000 civilians killed in the final phase of the military offensive against Tamil Tiger guerrillas in May 2009.

In April 2011, the panel report was UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon noted the allegations of war crimes committed on both sides.

Sri Lanka criticised UN Commission report as "preposterous" and said the report was one-sided, and relies on subjective evidence from anonymous sources.

The Sri Lankan Government on May 18, 2009 announced the end of the decades-old conflict with the Tamil Tigers after troops put down the remnants of the rebel force and killed their leader, Velupillai Prabhakaran.

Colombo's statement marked the end of one of the longest-running ethnic conflict and brutal in Asia, killing tens of thousands of people in a variety of battles, suicide attacks, bombings and assassinations.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam ('S LTTE) Velupillai Prabhakaran has acknowledged that died in the attack on the Sri Lankan Government forces.

The UNITED NATIONS estimates, more than 100,000 people were killed in the Tamil separatist conflict after the Tiger Tamil rebels appeared in 1972.

About 15,000 rebels battling the Sri Lankan Government and the Tamil in the ethnic conflicts that in an attempt to set up an independent Tamil State.
