International inquiry to start by end of the month

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) mandated international investigation into mass atrocities in Sri Lanka will commence this month, the spokesperson at the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Rupert Colville, told Xinhua on Sunday.

"The High Commissioner for Human Rights will present an oral update to the September session of the Human Rights Council, and its final report will be presented to the council's March 2015 session. In accordance with usual practice, OHCHR will ensure that the Government of Sri Lanka has the opportunity to provide comments on both the oral and comprehensive report before they are issued," the OHCHR spokesperson was quoted by Xinhua as saying.
