The visit of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Al Hussein to Sri Lanka last week marked a definite shift in the UN stand on the call for an international probe on the alleged human rights violations in the last phase of the armed conflict between the government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in May 2009. He emphasized that it is for the Sri Lankan government to finally decide on the composition of the court which has to be appointed to probe if there were violations of human rights in the last phase of the conflict or not. He also clarified that it is not a ‘war crime’ investigation.
