Indonesia accused Western countries of applying double standards for their rights violation probe into Sri Lanka's final offensive against the Tamil rebels, comparing to the situation in Sri Lanka to that in Palestine and Afghanistan, according to local media on Tuesday, said Xinhua, China, today, May 26.

"We see that the calls for rights probes are political. Why did they reject or respond unenthusiastically to the initiation of rights violations into Israel's assault on Gaza?” the Jakarta Post quoted Foreign Ministry Spokesman Teuku Faizasyah as saying, the statement in Xinhua further said.

He said that Indonesia supports Colombo's draft resolution to be presented at the United Nations Human Rights Council meeting on Sri Lanka in Geneva scheduled for today (26).

The resolution highlighted "the principle of non-interference" in internal matters and respected for Sri Lanka's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence, Faizasyah added.
