"U.S. Permanent Representative, said US supports UN Security council briefing on Sri Lanka"

Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court (ICC), Luis Moreno-Ocampo, when asked if he is considering action on Sri Lanka following Ms. Pillai's assertion that Sri Lanka has committed war crimes, replied that Sri Lanka is not a state party [to the ICC's Rome Statute], ICP reported.

Ocampo has been criticized, most recently by the President of the UN General Assembly Miguel d'Escoto Brockmann, for seeking war crimes indictments only in Africa, ICP report added.

Further, an ICC staffer traveling with Ocampo told Inner City Press that following Ms. Pillai's public statement about war crimes in Sri Lanka, the ICC opened a file, or database. But she repeated that Sri Lanka not being a member of the ICC creates jurisdiction problems, and noted that the Tamils have not even, as for example the Palestinians have, made a formal request for jurisdiction.
