India said Tuesday it will “engage” with Sri Lanka on a UN report that found credible allegations of war crimes both by government forces and the Tamil tigers.
The external affairs ministry said New Delhi had seen the report of the experts appointed by the UN Secretary General on accountability issues in the context of the end of the war in Sri Lanka in 2009.
“The issues raised in the report need to be studied carefully. As a first step, we intend to engage with the government of Sri Lanka on the issues contained in the report,” said ministry spokesman Vishnu Prakash.
