Samarasinha was recently in Geneva and strongly echoed the government position on the refusal of an international probe on human rights violations in Sri- lanka.

News agency’s reported that The U.N Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, at a closed-door briefing for Security Council members, called for a credible inquiry to be undertaken with international backing and full support from Sri Lanka's government.
