By Matthew Russell LeeUNITED NATIONS, January 19 -- The role of the “UN's special envoy to Sri Lanka” Vijay Nambiar was described in a detailed article in The New Yorker magazine published nine days ago.
On January 19, Inner City Press asked UN spokesman Martin Nesirky to respond to the article, in particular the description of Mr. Nambiar as one of only two negotiators who urged surrendering fighters to come out with white flags -- after which they were shot to death.
The other of the two negotiators, Marie Colvin, is quoted as saying that these murders were “not the chaos of battle. It was a negotiated surrender. Promises were made and they were broken.”
Inner City Press asked Nesirky for the UN's, and Mr. Nambiar's, position on the murders. Video here, from Minute 12:40.
