Under Secretary of State Maria Otero's statement to the UNHRC on Sri Lanka

"We know from experience that there can be no lasting peace without reconciliation and accountability, but the United States is concerned that, in Sri Lanka, time is slipping away. The international community has waited nearly three years for action, and while we welcome the release of the LLRC report, the recommendations of the report should be implemented. We have engaged Sri Lanka bilaterally on these issues since the conflict ended in 2009, and stand ready to continue to work with them. Action now in this Council will sow the seeds of lasting peace on the ground."

How thoughtful of US! There is no human rights whatsoever on Earth if it weren't for US!!

(If only they were little more concerned about all the messes they created around the world (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libiya to name a few) )
