L. Peiris speaking to the media in Colombo, Sri Lanka April 21 2011)Sri Lanka asked the United Nations on Thursday not to publish a  forthcoming report on alleged war crimes during the island's ethnic,  saying it could set back reconciliation efforts.  Foreign Minister G. L. Peiris said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon  should not release the report, compiled by a panel of experts who  studied alleged rights abuses and crimes against humanity during the war  which ended in 2009.  "The publication of this report will cause irreparable damage to the  reconciliation efforts of Sri Lanka. It will damage the UN system too,"  Peiris told reporters in Colombo.  "This UN report is preposterous."AFP</blockquote>
