'International actions for justice essential as Sri Lanka makes no effort for accountability': HRW

Sunday Island

|

March 30, 2025

Human Rights Watch (HRW) says that as long as Sri Lanka makes no efforts to attain accountability, international monitors seek to address alleged human rights abuses and war crimes during Sri Lanka’s military operations against the LTTE are essential.

Issuing a statement on the recent decision by the UK government to impose sanctions including travel bans and asset freezes against Sri Lanka’s former Chief of Defence Staff Shavendra Silva, former Navy Commander Wasantha Karannagoda, former Army Commander Jagath Jayasuriya and Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan, also known as ‘Karuna Amman’, Human Rights Watch stated that foreign governments should continue to impose targeted sanctions and use evidence that the UN has gathered to prosecute Sri Lankan war crimes sus-pects.
