Sri Lanka has said it is committed to implement the recommendations of the LLRC, despite the ‘setback’ of the resolution on Sri Lanka which passed in March.
Speaking at the 20th UN Human Rights Council Session in Geneva, Sri Lanka’s representative Manisha Gunasekera claimed some of the recommendations were already being implemented.
However she expressed displeasure at the ‘ill-conceived’ US-sponsored resolution that passed during the last session.
"Sri Lanka continues to believe that this Resolution was completely unnecessary and unwarranted. It does not add any value to the ongoing domestic efforts.
"On the contrary, this action has caused mistrust about international processes among the people of Sri Lanka and runs counter to our domestic efforts," she explained to the Council.
