UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says he is relieved the war appears over in Sri Lanka. But he wants the government to address the "concerns and aspirations" of its minority Tamil population.
Ban told a news conference on Tuesday that "we urgently need to treat the wounds of a war that has alienated the communities on the island for almost three decades."
The UN chief said he would travel to Sri Lanka on Friday. He hoped to visit camps for the thousands of people uprooted by the war.
