Jeg ved, at til trods for de forfærdelige grusomheder, der er blevet begået mod civilbefolkningen og medlemmer af de skiftende regeringer, så er Sri Lankas regering på højeste plan villig til at indlede forhandlinger og har ikke stillet nogen betingelser.
I know that in spite of the dreadful atrocities that have been committed against the civil population and against members of successive administrations, the Sri Lankan government at the highest levels is willing to enter into negotiations and is setting no conditions.
