UN rights chief disturbed by Suriname amendment on immunity for violations

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, today said she was "disturbed" by the recent decision by Suriname to pass an amendment to an existing law that grants immunity for human rights violation committed during the 12-year period in which the country was, for the most part, under military rule.
