Philip Alston, who is the UN's special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, explained whether he thought the pictures were authentic. The images are 'horrendous' and, if authentic, are a serious breach of international law. The United Nations’s own expert called for an investigation into footage broadcast by this programme. But there are accusations that the organisation failed to speak out about alleged atrocities committed in the dying days of Sri Lanka's war against the Tamil Tigers.</blockquote>
