UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (R) is welcomed by Sri Lankan Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama (L) at the international airport in Colombo, on May 23, 2009. Ban arrived in Sri Lanka to press for humanitarian access to civilians displaced by the separatist conflict, as the island's president dismissed international concerns. He is the first world leader to visit since Colombo's assertion earlier this week that the Tamil Tigers' bloody decades-long crusade for an independent homeland had been crushed once and for all.
