Protest in Jaffna demanding international judges

 

A protest was held in Jaffna this morning, demanding the involvement of international judges in Sri Lanka 's Justice and Accountability mechanism.

A UNHRC resolution suggested Sri Lanka appoint a 'hybrid court' with international and local judges to prosecute alleged war crimes during the final phase of the war, but Sri Lanka has shown reluctance, wanting to rely instead on a credible domestic mechanism.
