Sri Lanka's High Commissioner to Australia, Admiral Thisara Samarasinghe, says the Sri Lankan government has established its own investigation.
"We will be looking into any specific evidence and allegations which are coming forward by authentic channels," he said.
"So having said that, there has been no deliberate attempt by Sri Lankan authorities of any civilian being targeted deliberately.
"It was a long, long conflict, while rescuing 300,000 civilians from the clutches of terrorists who kept them as human shields for long years they were freed through a military offensive.
"So I reject any deliberate action by the government in targeting civilians and in the process creating any human rights violations."
