The Human Rights Watch based in America, the Amnesty International based in London and the Asian Human Rights Commission have already appealed to the UN to interfere directly to improve the ground situation.

It is also reported that while they are discussing these proposals among themselves, they have held deliberations with officials of countries such as Japan and America regarding these issues.

Human Rights activists Bernard Kouchner has been appointed as the Foreign Minister of France. Earlier when he was appointed to serve on the panel of experts of the International Commission to inquire into human rights violations in the country, Dayan Jayathilaka, who was appointed as Lanka special envoy for international affairs in Geneva, condemned this appointment.

Later when Richard Boucher, US Deputy State Minister for South Asian and central Asia, met President, Dayan Jayathillaka spoke about America’s human rights violations.

These developments have had adverse effects for Sri Lanka at the international level. These reflect lonely a lack of diplomatic strategies.
