Meeting Nisha Biswal, the US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs yesterday, Sri Lanka's Minister of External Affairs, G. L. Peiris, warned that “there is a very strong perception of a lack of objectivity and impartiality on the part of the US."
Lamenting what he described as the "woefully inadequate acknowledgement [by the US] of the developments that have taken place [in Sri Lanka]" Peiris alleged that "Sri Lanka has become a soft target".
“There is an imbalance in the focus on Sri Lanka in the Human Rights Council," he said.
