No formal request from UN to meet LLRC [December 10 2010]

Though the UN Secretary General’s panel intends to meet the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), there was no formal request from the UN, informed sources said.

“ The UNSG’s panel has not made a formal request to meet the LLRC yet”, the sources said.

However, the government said early this week that it would facilitate the UNSG’s panel by issuing visas to meet the LLRC but will not allow the three-member panel to carry out any investigation regarding Sri Lanka.
