Sri Lanka’s accountability mechanism would have an international process said British Foreign Minister Hugo Swire during his visit to the island.
Speaking at a press conference at the end of his 3 day visit, Mr Swire said,
“There is a lot of work going on to come up with some kind of solution to get things going. It will be a Sri Lankan process with an international element, but what that means remains to be discussed and seen. It is not an international system that is being imposed on Sri Lanka.
Commenting on concerns from the Norther Province on the pace of land returned from the military, the British Minister of State said,
“Even though a considerable amount of land has been released to civilians, there are huge expectations from this government to move quicker. The pace of land being returned will accelerate in the future. I believe the land that is returned should be in good condition, which will allow normal community lives to start up again.”
