British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and other ministers at the start of two-day talks in Avignon on Friday say a probe is needed to find out who was guilty of allegations of human rights abuses during the five-day conflict between the two countries.

The EU ministers agree that an independent "high representative" is needed to help solve the standoff peacefully.
