Thank you, Mr. Keenan, for your presentation today.
I'm fairly new on this committee, but one thing I have realized in so many troubled areas is the rule of law.... To me, it seems that the rule of law in Sri Lanka is being enforced by the military. I don't think rule of law by a military group is the way that you look towards reconciliation in a country that has been troubled. To me, the only way to address the issue in Sri Lanka is to not pussyfoot around anymore, but to take more drastic action. We have to start playing a bit of hardball with these people.
One of my colleagues is quite critical of the UN and how effective they are in doing various things. There are so many things since I've been on this committee where the UN rapporteur for human rights.... As you know, they go to various countries that allow them in. Is the rapporteur allowed to go into Sri Lanka to do a human rights account, I guess, or are they even interested in doing something like that?
