The resolution on Sri Lanka will be moved at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) next Tuesday, Daily Mirror learns. The resolution, by the core-group of countries led by the United Kingdom, has been rejected by Sri Lanka.

The resolution, once moved on Tuesday, will be put to a vote later.

There had been an Interactive Dialogue on the report of the Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) earlier.at this meeting,21 countries including ten states with voting rights at the UNHRC, spoke in support of Sri Lanka against the report and the resolution based on it. However, 15 countries including European Union stressed on the need to move the resolution. A top source of the Foreign Ministry said China, Russia, Cuba and Pakistan were among the likeminded countries leading support for

Sri Lanka. India had not committed its position even yesterday. During the last Interactive Dialogue, India called for the implementation of the 13th Amendment in full.

The resolution calls upon the Sri Lankan Government to ensure the prompt, thorough and impartial investigation and, if warranted, prosecution of all allegations of gross human rights violations and serious violations of international humanitarian law including for longstanding emblematic cases.

It also calls upon the Government to ensure the effective and independent functioning of the National Human Rights Commission, the Office on Missing Persons and the Office for Reparations. (KELUM BANDARA)

    this has nothing to do with terrorists'. this is direct program to promote rajapkse by Jews in the US. this Rajapaksa is trained to lie to public and keep him in power . local Sinhalese spies and Jews from embassies are operating together in colombo. As I said before Jews will not give up Sri lanka until Jews masters their destruction in Israel. Everybody opinion is that Jews created corona virus as part of global covert operation. My opinion that it possibly created to get control many counties or as way of putting down countries. Sri lanka is one of many main countries which is subject cover operation to promote Rajapaksa. UN move is part of. Other achievement from corona virus combine war is getting Arabs recognize Israel. Corona virus is a different kind of economic section to achieve many goals in the world. This the opinion of many people. However, some people in Europe think that it was created delay sending back millions Arabs that Jews smuggled into Europe.

    Russia and China opinion that US is created it but they sort of stopped saying that Jews did it. Generally some other people believe that Jews created it to send as much many western businesses bankrupt and later Jews to buy those businesses or replace with new businesses. However, my opinion is I don't know for sure if Jews created it, but if it is true, It was created to achieve many goals in the world. And two of them are Palestine and Sri lanka

    @Anton: A man in the US jailed for getting money from Sri Lankan Government. What you say about that?

    Mandayan Tuesday, 02 March 2021 03:42 PM

    Brothers, as the children of mother Lanka, we are good at stabbing each others. Tamil speaking people wants the Sinhala speaking Government to be punished and the Government thinks the opposite. Instead, we need a leader and government to merge us all and take the nation forward. Whatever happens the people are going to suffer!

    Mandayan Tuesday, 02 March 2021 03:47 PM

    Pakistan? It wants to restore link with the US and won’t go against it!

    CV Raman Tuesday, 02 March 2021 04:01 PM

    Why do people display their ignorance in public? Anybody who can read will know that several Africans and Europeans have been sentenced to jail by the ICC for HR violations.

    jayt Tuesday, 02 March 2021 04:09 PM

    Israel and general Jews think that Arabs finished. But it is not true! Arabs wowed to dismantle Israel. Jews don’t know how much Arabs are dangerous and how much they are determined. IT is just Arabs. General muslim from Arabia and Africa tell me that in a war, they kill all Jews. On other hand, Right wing from Europe and US accused Jews of smuggling Arabs and third world immigrants to destroy white population and establish a Jewish global government An example is UK and France
