Cross party UK politicians welcome establishment of independent international inquiry

The All Party Parliamentary Group for Tamils (APPG for Tamils) welcomed the UN Human Rights Council's decision to adopt the resolution, mandating an international inquiry into Sri Lanka.

In a statement issued the day after the vote, the cross party body of UK parliamentarians said,
"Now the inquiry has been announced, the APPG for Tamils would like to seek clarification on how it is to be implemented. In particular, the APPG for Tamils asks the Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR) to explain how it plans to conduct the inquiry if Sri Lanka does not cooperate."
