The Guardian, 20 March 2012 - Letter By Douglas Alexander MP, David Miliband MP, Jack Straw MP, Margaret Beckett MP - At the 19th session of the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva a US-led resolution is being debated, which seeks to help resolve the outstanding issues of accountability and reconciliation resulting from the end of Sri Lanka's long and bloody civil conflict in 2009. This resolution is not only vital to the prospects of peace and stability but is also a litmus test of the international community's resolve to protect international law and reaffirm respect for human rights.

June 20, 2011 - Former British foreign minister David Miliband and Former French foreign minister Bernard Kouchner in an opinion article published in the New York Times yesterday called on their governments to set a deadline, soon, for satisfactory response from the Sri Lankan government, and if it is not forthcoming to initiate the international arrangements recommended by the UN Panel Report.
