Sri Lanka will reject UNHRC resolution: G.L. Peiris

Sri Lankan External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris said that the country will reject the UNHRC resolution on war crimes to be moved by the US.

“Drawing disproportionate attention to Sri Lanka’s situation and introducing resolution that seeks to discredit, single out and humiliate the country are unhelpful and counterproductive to Sri Lanka’s current reconciliation process,” Mr. Peiris

“Just as the Government of Sri Lanka did not recognise the last HRC resolution, it rejects the new resolution. Sri Lanka intends to request a vote when the draft resolution is taken up at the Human Rights Council on 21 March, 2013,” he added. “Sri Lanka seeks the understanding and the support of HRC member states at the vote on this resolution.”

G.L. Peiris said that this resolution is a dangerous proceeding to allow outsiders to involved in internal matter.

 “…the precedent created by intrusive, biased and politicised actions such as the US-sponsored resolution on Sri Lanka would pose a danger for all nations,” Mr. Peiris said.
