UK: Sri Lanka belongs on UN Security Council agenda

Britains Foreign Minister David Miliband said Monday he is appalled by reports of mass civilian casualties in Sri Lanka. Saying that he believed very very strongly that the humanitarian crisis in Sri Lanka merits the attention of the United Nations Security Council, he noted: the civilian catastrophe in the North East of Sri Lanka speaks for itself and the international humanitarian law to which we all sign up needs to be followed in spirit and in letter. Speaking at the UN in New York, Miliband also suggested Sri Lanka should not qualify for the $1.9m IMF loan Colombo is seeking.
