Obviously, most things within the United Nations do.
I think the starting point is to highlight that the Government of Sri Lanka itself is strongly opposed to the idea of an international investigation going forward. That in itself would obviously be one very significant obstacle to carrying out an effective international investigation, because without the cooperation and collaboration of the Sri Lankan government, it will be difficult. It wouldn't be impossible, but it would be very difficult for that investigation to be carried out. One could imagine, for instance, the Sri Lankan government even refusing to grant permission to international staff, members of that investigation, to travel to Sri Lanka to do on-the-ground work. So that's one obstacle.
The second obstacle is that there are a number of other governments within the UN system that are willing to support Sri Lanka's cause here, which is not new or unusual. There have certainly been times in the past when Sri Lanka has been able to rally other governments to its side on crucial UN votes. One thinks of the special session of the UN Human Rights Council that was held in May 2009, in the aftermath of the horrific final few months of the armed conflict in Sri Lanka, a time when rampant human rights violations by both sides in the conflict were at the forefront of the international community's attention. The Human Rights Council should have grappled with that very seriously. Instead, Sri Lanka rallied other governments to its side, and the outcome of that special session was a congratulatory message to the Sri Lankan government for having won the war.
Those are the dynamics and politics that tend to play out within the UN around Sri Lanka, and that's why it's going to take a very thoughtful, comprehensive strategy to get us there and some small steps, as I was laying out, including at the next session of the UN Human Rights Council. That would be one small step forward. Those are the kinds of things we need to be focusing on.
