Government rejects illegal Moon's Committee report

The government has strongly rejected the report of the illegal advisory committee appointed by the United Nations General Secretary, on Sri Lanka. The government has said that it is a biased, baseless and unilateral report. The government has issued an announcement deploring the report saying that the committee which was appointed to advise on incidents that are considered to have occurred during the last stages of the humanitarian operation has been prepared without any knowledge about the period of observation or about the humanitarian operation.
The announcement also states that the Sri Lankan government is prepared to provide appropriate response on this report in the future.
Meanwhile, Minister of External Affairs Professor G.L Peiris has said that a special session will be held on the 21st of this month to enlighten all Ambassadors and High Commissioners in Sri Lanka about the UNSG's advisory committee report. The minister said that this report which damages the sovereignty of this country cannot be accepted in any manner.(niz)
