Lanka asks UN Chief not to interfere in internal affairs
Sri Lanka today asked UN Chief Ban Ki-moon not to interfere in its internal affairs and not to go ahead with the probe into alleged war crimes by its army against the defeated LTTE, amidst an international clamour by rights groups for an independent inquiry.
The UN is closely watching the situation in Sri Lanka, where President Mahinda Rajapaksa has declared an end to military operation against the LTTE, while focusing on assisting the ten of thousands of civilians who have been displaced by the conflict, a top United Nations official said today.
