Madam Navi Pillay, United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, concluded her Sri Lankan tour last week. It was her longest foreign tour. The objective of her visit was to investigate and report to the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) at its 24th and 25th sessions about the alleged war crimes committed during the last phase of the war against the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). We, the Jathika Hela Urumaya (JHU), objected to her arrival on the basis that prima facie, she did not appear to be impartial.
