(CONCLD.from previous posting::) Thus there was no particular need for Ms Kane to meet with representatives of partisan interests like the Muslim and Tamil minority parties.

As TNA's Mr Sambandhan remarked, the Kane mission was Kane mission was 'highly delicate'. And, the UN rep 'had a lot of tightrope walking to do','there was little new that she could have learnt by meeting the 'victims' of 'human rights' violations or meet their represntative orgn.CMC.Further Kane sampled Batticaloa, and left out the other foci of Srilankan militay operns.,Jaffna and Wanni.The report is indeed 'newsy' needing no comments.

It is obvious that she was most likely prevented from meeting with the affected ethnic parties. Meeting with the aggressors of human rights and not the representatives of the victims is not conflict assessment but avoidance. The reasons are not at all difficult to surmise.
