...Secretary General Ban Ki-moon also reminded both parties soon after the weekend battles that "the world is watching Sri Lanka and would not accept further violations of international law." The five-member Security Council already held an informal session about Sri Lanka on April 11, and some members have lobbied for wider UN action. But moves to initiate a formal Security Council session on Sri Lanka have been thwarted by China and Russia. The government sees this effort to apply diplomatic pressure - through UN action or a debate at the Geneva-based UN Human Rights Council - as, in effect...

...could be a long, tense and potentially dangerous wait before indictments are issued and trials begin. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon reportedly has said that the courtroom will be ready for trials at the beginning of 2010. Robin Vincent, the tribunal?s registrar, has said that the trials could last five years. In welcoming the launching of the tribunal, Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said, ?The Lebanese do not seek vengeance, they only wish to protect their country and prevent the terrorists from persisting in their crime unpunished...
