Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would also like to begin by thanking Mr. Keenan for being with us today, for providing our committee with the update on the human rights situation in Sri Lanka.

Following the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in November 2013, you argued that India and South Africa were two countries that “should lead in forging a strong international coalition to pressure the Rajapaksa government into reversing its most dangerous policies.”

So how do you think that South Africa and other member states can establish international mechanisms to examine the allegations of violations of international law by both sides in the civil war?
