OISL Report: No Indication Of Genocide From Investigations So Far, UNHRC Chief Says

September 16, 2015

UN Human Rights Commissioner Prince Zeid bin Ra'ad Al Hussain said that the UNHRC report on Sri Lanka does not say that genocide was committed.

Speaking at the release of the Office of the UN High Commissioner's Investigation on Sri Lanka (OISL) report in Geneva, the UN Human Rights Commissioner said that a hybrid court was needed to investigate the alleged incidents, with the participation of foreign experts.

The OISL report was due in March this year, but was delayed six months by the UN Human Rights Commissioner to give the country's new government a chance to cooperate with investigators.
