The United Nations Secretary General on Tuesday reiterated calls for the Sri Lankan government to co-operate with the UN inquiry into mass atrocities against the Tamil people.
When about the UN response to the Sri Lankan government’s considerations of starting a new local inquiry, the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon’s spokesperson, Stehpane Dujarric, at a press briefing said,
“Obviously we would welcome any move that would help bring light what’s happened in Sri Lanka. But the Secretary General’s call and High Commissioner’s call for cooperation with the UN inquiries stand.”

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
