It has reached a stage where the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) is about to commence a war crimes probe into the conduct of the Rajapaksa Government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE)."

Former Norwegian Minister and Peace Envoy Erik Solheim, once a key negotiator in Sri Lanka's Oslo-mediated peace process, said he is willing to be a witness at any recognized international tribunal on alleged war crimes committed by Sri Lanka during the war, reports Colombo page on June 8. Solheim, noting that peace in Sri Lanka was won by the war at a tremendous cost, said he still believes peace could have been achieved without the bloodshed. He said that "during the last four months of the war, we called upon Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) leader Velupillai Prabhakaran to accept an 'organized' end to the war, which would have saved the lives of tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of LTTE cadres. Kumaran Pathmanathan (KP) can bear witness to this. It is so sad he did not accept the facts." He explained that Prabhakaran's refusal to accept federalism and the constant infighting, between the two main political parties, the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) and the United National Party (UNP) were the two main obstacles to the Norway-brokered peace process.
