RIGHT OF REPLY: Allegations without Factual Basis Drive Anti Sri Lanka Campaign

By Ambassador Dr. Palitha Kohona Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the United Nations
The content of your recent report on the Channel 4 video screened in Capitol Hill is disappointing. Your reporter uncritically endorsed the line purveyed by the organisers of the event without so much as a passing reference to the counter views advanced by my office at the screening of this video in New York or an effort to contact the Sri Lankan authorities. Not very professional!

CANCUN: Much Disappointment, But Some Hope

By Ambassador Dr. Palitha Kohona Permanent Representative of Sri Lanka to the United Nations
The Conference of the Parties (COP) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) held in Cancun, Mexico last month, ended with some hope, much frustration and considerable visible disappointment. A process that could be traced back to the Stockholm Conference in 1972, and which reached enthusiastic heights in Rio in 1992, continues its laboured progress.
