Who was U of O president Allan Rock in 2004: Defender of human rights or willing geopolitical peon?

An effigey of Allan Rock was taken in the protest rally in front of the United Nations office in Colombo against the UN ambassador.

THIS MEDIA ARTICLE from 2004 reports the view that Allan Rock played more the role of a partial geopolitical mover than the role of an independent and due diligent assessor of human rights violations, as he portrayed himself in his functions at the UN; that he acted politically rather than with predominant regard for professional ethics consistent with his position.
