'We continue to urge the government of Sri Lanka to quickly  demonstrate that it is able and willing to meet these obligations as it  seeks reconciliation,' a State Department statement said.                               'We hope the Sri Lankans will themselves do this, but if  they do not, there will be growing pressure from the international  community to examine other options,' it said.AFP</blockquote>
