SRI LANKA: Realities Of An 'International Investigation'
Parasaran Rangarajan for Salem-News.com-Nov-28-2013
It
is pertinent that anyone calling for an international investigation do
so under the powers of Article 99 of the UN Charter routing this through
the UNSG instead of the UNHRC for more effective action and avoiding
political factors...

(COLOMBO, Sri Lanka) - It is important to point out that nobody should
have any illusions of where an "international investigation", if
conducted through the U.N. Human Rights Council (UNHRC),
is leading to. If an international investigation is commissioned by the
UNHRC as promised by March 2014, it does not mean the Rajapaksas will
be taken to court the next day. Just a normal murder trial can take
years so you can imagine a trial for genocide and how much evidence will
need to be presented.
