Erik Solheim Suggests Investigation On SL War Crimes

Based on the video footage lived by the British broadcast channel 4 that depicted the cruel killings of people during the Ezham war in Sri Lanka, International peacemaker and Norwegian external affairs minister Erik Solheim suggested the global community to investigate the war crimes committed by Sri Lanka.

Earlier, Erik Solheim led the peace keeping time on behalf of UN to settle the dispute between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Ezham and the Sri Lankan government which turned futile. He is now about to met the UN envoy Ban Ki Moon and has promised he would urge the international community to commence an investigation. The Channel 4 video is more than solid evidence to accuse the government and those who committed the crime is punishable under law. 'Thousands of Tamils went missing during the bloody war and no one has questioned the government regarding this violation of Human Rights. The ruling government has willfully ignored human rights and laid rules of their own. Without evidences, the UN was unable to proceed but now we have the necessary docs to bring them under custody. Moreover, they have committed the punishable crime of kidnapping international journalists with their white van and I will urge the envoy to put an end to this atrocity,' said Solheim.
