I think specifically with respect to that last question the place to do it is on the UN Human Rights Council, when it meets next month. Both South Africa and India are important members of that council. South Africa was newly re-elected to the council this year. They weren't on the council when previous resolutions on Sri Lanka came up. India was, and supported both previous resolutions sponsored by the U.S., which was a significant development given that India, like may other countries that are part of the Non-Aligned Movement, has traditionally resisted what are called “country-specific resolutions” by the council.
So it was quite important that India did, and I think it was a sign of the seriousness of concern, unhappiness, and disappointment with which the Indian government views developments in Sri Lanka, for instance, on the repeated breaking of promises by senior officials in the Sri Lankan government to senior officials in the Indian government.
We are hoping that India will continue to support whatever resolution is tabled in the council this coming session. We would also like to see about South Africa. South Africa is also involved in a quiet initiative to try to bring together the Tamil National Alliance and the government, and perhaps also some Tamil diaspora groups, to work toward longer-term reconciliation. While that is a potentially useful initiative over the long term, it requires cooperation from the Sri Lankan government, which isn't yet there, I think, unfortunately. That, I think, is one particular tack that South Africa has been taking.
We would like for that initiative not to prevent them from supporting the needed action on accountability, in particular, an international commission of inquiry. We think the two go together, and we hope that South Africa will see it the same way.
