Special UN envoy here next month

UN Representative on children and armed conflict Radhika Coomaraswamy announced that she would be soon sending Major-General Patrick Cammaert as her representative to Sri Lanka to discuss several issues including those involving IDP children, the UN website reported.
Last month the Special Representative voiced her concern to the Geneva-based Human Rights Council about the fate of internally displaced children who still remained in camps in the north of Sri Lanka following the end of the Government’s military operation against Tamil rebels. Inner City Press meanwhile said the UN would send Major General Patrick Cammaert to Sri Lanka from November 8 to 13. Inner City Press had asked Ms. Coomaraswamy about her reported meeting with Sri Lankan Prime Minister during the UN General Debate in late September.
Ms. Coomaraswamy replied that she "met the Prime Minister more socially," but had officially met with the Inner City Press asked if she thought that the condition of IDP children in the Menik Farm camps in Vanni and elsewhere complied with the "Rights and guarantees for internally displaced children" which is Annex I to her Office's report to the UN General Assembly.
Ms. Coomaraswamy replied that on "freedom of movement" and other issues, she believes the camps are "in violation of principles."
