Sri Lanka will most probably take part in the February – March session of the UNHRC in virtual format and a discerning and overwhelming reply will be presented at the world body, highlighting Sri Lanka’s position on various allegations, Cabinet Spokesman, Mass Media Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said today.

Responding to a journalist at weekly Cabinet news briefing, he said as far as he was aware, the Foreign Minister was yet to select a team of delegates from Sri Lanka to participate in the UNHRC sessions.

Minister Rambukwella expressed his disappointment on the screening of alleged war time video footages by the UNHRC and said it was not in line with the UN mandate.(Sandun A Jayasekera)
