The Canadian Government today urged the Sri Lankan government to set a time-bound strategy for full implementation of the UN Resolution, with technical support from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
“We call on Sri Lanka to meet its domestic and international human rights obligations to ensure a peaceful, reconciled and prosperous future for all Sri Lankans,” it said in a statement.
Canada welcomed the High Commissioner’s Representative’s report on Sri Lanka and aid it supports the government’s constructive engagement with the OHCHR.
“We acknowledge the initial steps taken on human rights and welcome the establishment of the Office of Missing Persons. We call for its full operationalization and implementation,” it said.
It said the Wednesday’s report at the 37th UNHRC session in Geneva highlighted that continued effort is needed on transitional justice, including reparations, truth seeking and accountability mechanisms and on implementing confidence-building measures critical to reconciliation such as repeal of the Prevention of Terrorism Act.

Any task should be time bound, cannot be open ended. A method to measure the progress is also necessary.

iSri Lanka is a Sovereign state-with a Democratically elected Parliament and an Ex. Presidency elected to office directly by the Peoples vote-Whatever the nature of the Agency reccomending any action inside the country or outside the country must be operative only after due process in the Legislature which takes precedence on all matters-To put into operation anything to the bygone war and its remnants and any alterations in Policy must be initiated in the Parliament-There is no basis or alternatives to entertain issues due to outside pressure--

The resolution was sponsored by Sri Lanka at UNHCR where Sri Lanka is a member on its own application. So why cannot it do what it said it will do in the resolution itself

Canadian Government should also block Tiger supporters from displaying and carrying the tiger flag and printing posters with Prabaharan's picture as LTTE is a banned organization in Canada. Without doing this what right has the Canadian Government got to ask any action from Sri Lanka?

These fellows have not done anything to alleviate the suffering of their own INDEGENOUS people. No UN nor anyone says anything against murders, abductions etc.
