UNITED NATIONS (AN) — Amid growing calls on the U.N. secretary-general to order an independent investigation into Jamal Khashoggi's killing, a review by Arete News found just eight previous instances of a secretary-general issuing such an order since 1963. The last was in 2010, in the wake of Sri Lanka's civil war.
One week after Sri Lanka's 26-year civil war ended, the U.N. secretary-general and a handful of reporters flew halfway around the world to inspect the sandy coastal strip where separatist Tamil Tigers made a last stand.
