The United States says the UPFA victory at the General Elections coupled with President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s win at the Presidential elections, provides a mandate to move forward on the important issues the President discussed during the campaign including securing human rights.

In a congratulatory message to President Rajapaksa and the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) the US said Sri Lanka should also look at national and ethnic reconciliation, decentralizing power and economic development.

The US says it looks forward to working with the newly elected Sri Lankan government and hope to strengthen the historical ties of friendship and cooperation between the two nations.

it is on the deaf years! How can US expect a government that put opposition candidate in jail, to safe guard democratic principles?

You gotta be kidding me.

Human Rights? What right has US got to speak on human rights? First we will make sure no opposition to the government exists and then ensure the Rajapakse dynasty.

Well said Mr President Obama and Ms.Hilary Clinton;
the election win is not a carte blanche to continue ethnic clensing and genocide in sinking lanka nor delay the war crimes investigations.

For a moment, I thought Blake asked his own government to "secure Human Rights"!

This Blake is like a toothache... Keeps coming back!
