The UNHRC panel to appointed to probe alleged human rights abuses during final stages ofconflict in Sri Lanka will continue to seek access to the country despite its refusal to allow them into the nation, a statement on the OHCHR website said.In the terms of reference for the probe available on the OHCHR website, it says it will continue to seek to engage with the Government of Sri Lanka in accordance with the resolution. The High Commissioner for Human Rights will continue to request for the team conducting the OHCHR Investigation on Sri Lanka (OISL) to have access to the country to meet with government officials and others, as well as to have access to all relevant documentation.

  

The government on previous occasions has openly expressed its unwillingness to cooperate with the investigation. The UN rights chief in June appointed three experts - former Finland President Martti Ahtisaari, former High Court judge of New Zealand Silvia Cartwright and former President of the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan Asma Jahangir -to play a supportive and advisory role.

The OISL will conduct a desk review of existing documents and information, including government and civil society reports, collect and document victims testimonies and the accounts of survivors, witnesses and alleged perpetrators, the statement said.
