The credibility of any accountability mechanism in Sri Lanka requires the involvement of foreign judges, said the United States Ambassador to the United Nations Human Rights Council Keith Harper. 

In a tweet posted on Monday, Harper said:

"For #SriLanka – credibility of any accountability mechanism requires the involvement of foreign judges etc."

“That has and will not change,” he added. 

His comments come after Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena reiterated his rejection of any foreign involvement in a war crimes probe in Sri Lanka, in a recent interview to international media.
