Human rights groups have called for international pressure on Sri Lanka to investigate allegations of serious abuses during and after its 26-year civil war.
Amnesty International says the lack of accountability for alleged war crimes committed by the government side has created a sense of impunity among security forces.
Amnesty's director for South Asia, Sam Zarifi, told reporters in Geneva on Tuesday that dozens of people have been abducted by security forces since the war ended in 2009.
The U.N.'s Human Rights Council is expected to vote next week on a U.S.-backed resolution calling for accountability in Sri Lanka.
A television documentary to be aired by Britain's Channel 4 on Wednesday alleges several war crimes suspects are now in senior government posts.
