斯里兰卡反对联合国人权小组

Sri Lanka opposes the creation of a United Nations panel to investigate whether human rights abuses were committed during the final months of the country's war with Tamil Tiger rebels.

斯里兰卡反对联合国成立调查小组，调查斯里兰卡在和泰米尔猛虎组织的内战最后几个月中是否发生侵犯人权行为。

Sri Lankan government spokesman Keheliya Rambukwella on Wednesday called the panel "unwarranted and unacceptable."

斯里兰卡政府发言人朗布卫拉星期三称这个调查小组是“毫无根据和无法接受的”。

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon appointed the three-member panel Tuesday and asked it to determine whether any rights violations took place during Sri Lanka's civil war, which ended with the defeat of the Tamil rebels last May. The U.N. says more than 7,000 civilians died in the final stages of the conflict.

联合国秘书长潘基文星期二任命了一个三人调查小组，要求其确定在斯里兰卡内战期间是否有侵犯人权的行为。五月，斯里兰卡内战以泰米尔猛虎组织战败结束。联合国说，7千多个平民在冲突的最后阶段死亡。

Sri Lanka's foreign ministry said Wednesday the U.N. decision has "the potential for exploitation by vested interests hostile to the process of reconciliation." Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa has established a commission to examine war crimes allegations.

斯里兰卡外交部星期三说，联合国成立调查组的决定“可能被仇视和解进程的既得利益者所利用”。斯里兰卡总统拉贾帕克萨成立了一个委员会调查战争罪指控。
