They noted that the arrival of these officials had  violated all diplomatic norms and protocol, which are mandatory under  the UN Convention. Well informed sources disclosed that some diplomats from the US  Embassy in Colombo have visited this hotel and speculation was rife of  meets between US officials in Colombo and the UN officials now occupying  the hotel. Eyebrows are raised over the mysterious arrival of these UN  officials which is timed with the ongoing UNHRC sessions in Geneva where  a controversial US backed resolution against Sri Lanka is on the agenda  for vote on March 23. As this edition went to press, officials at the External Affairs  Ministry in Colombo were in touch with the immigration authorities to  find out the modus operandi adopted by the UN officials in question over  their mysterious journey to Colombo.Diplomatic circles suspect that the four UN officials may have made their way through as ‘tourists’.   The Nation</blockquote>
