Instead, the Sri Lankan External Affairs Ministry, called on the Human Rights Commissioner to visit the country herself.
The United Nations Human Rights High Commissioner, Navi Pillay, recently asserted that she would like to send 10 special rapporteurs to assess the implementation of the recommendations by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission.
