UNHRC votes in favour of Sri Lanka to support the reconciliation process
Today’s action by the UN Human Rights Council encourages the Government of Sri Lanka to continue on the path toward reconciliation following 27 years of civil war.
The United States, together with the international community, sent a strong signal that Sri Lanka will only achieve lasting peace through real reconciliation and accountability, and the international community stands ready to help.
The next steps are clear. The US will look to the Government of Sri Lanka to implement the constructive recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) and take the necessary measures to address accountability.
Commenting on the development, the US department of State, in its official press release stated, “We are committed to working with the Sri Lankan Government to help realize this goal, and I look forward to discussing future actions
with Foreign Minister Peiris soon. We will continue the productive working relationship we have with the Sri Lankan Government based on shared values, respect and constructive dialogue. Most important, we seek to strengthen our partnership with all the people
of Sri Lanka.”
