The United Kingdom continues to lead international efforts on human rights and transitional justice in Sri Lanka, working with our partners to support meaningful progress that will allow the Sri Lankan people to engage on these issues and remember their loved ones freely, said UK foreign secretary James Cameron.
He was giving a statement on the 15th anniversary of the end of Sri Lanka's armed conflict.
“Sri Lanka is an important Commonwealth partner, and we will continue to work with all communities to make the most of the country’s extraordinary potential.”
“As we mark the 15th anniversary of the end of Sri Lanka’s armed conflict, my thoughts are with all those killed and disappeared, and with their loved ones who continue to search for answers,” said Cameron.
“I heard first-hand about the devastating consequences of the war when I visited Northern Sri Lanka in 2013.”
“There I made a commitment that the UK would support truth, justice, and accountability for all,” he added.
