“Hybrid” war crimes probe: No political will even for own domestic probe
- - on 09/17/2015
“Don’t judge us on broken promises of the past government.” Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera told the 30 Session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on 14 September. ‘This is a different government with a political will to solve issues’, was the gist of his statement made. If this was made to an audience here, it would not be anything less than a joke. After all, forming of the new government was all about breaking the promise of a decent, reasonably small cabinet of ministers. Most in the huge new cabinet of ministers and in the bandwagon of State and deputy ministers are from the previous Rajapaksa government that minister Samaraweera wants to dissociate from.
