Sri Lanka on Wednesday rejected as “flawed” and “biased” a UN-commissioned report into alleged war crimes committed during the final 2009 offensive by government troops against Tamil Tiger rebels.

The External Affairs Ministry said it had received a copy of the report by a three-member expert panel who handed their findings to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon Ban on Tuesday.

“The government finds this report fundamentally flawed in many respects,” the ministry said in a statement.

“Among other deficiencies, the report is based on patently biased material which is presented without verification,” it said.
