Govt. has agreed to the US-led resolution: JVP

The Government appears to have agreed to the United States-sponsored resolution to be presented at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions and had sent a delegation to the US to discuss ways of implementing its recommendations, Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) charged today.

JVP MP Anura Kumara Dissanayake said the subservient manner in which the Government was handling this year’s resolution on Sri Lanka clearly showed its mindset.

He recalled that there were several government-sponsored street protests when such a resolution was presented at the UNHCR sessions last year but so far there had been no such protests this year even though this resolution was more strongly worded. (YP)
