Warning – Disturbing Images:

The spokesperson of the US State Department Victoria Nuland has said the US continues to be “deeply concerned” about allegations of human rights violations in Sri Lanka.

Nuland said during the State Department's Daily Press Briefing, we continue to be deeply concerned by allegations of violations of international humanitarian law and human rights in Sri Lanka.

At the end of this conflict, we support a full accounting for all who are engaged in acts of violated international humanitarian law.

We also welcome the report by UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay, noting the strong concern about the Government of Sri Lanka’s lack of action to address these longstanding issues of reconciliation and accountability. And as you know, we plan to introduce our own resolution on this into the Human Rights Council.
