Discuss UN Human Rights Council Resolution on Sri Lanka.

The United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a United Nations body responsible for promoting and protecting human rights around the world. In 2015, the UNHRC adopted a resolution on Sri Lanka, expressing concern over the human rights situation in the country and calling for the implementation of several measures to address these issues.


Here are some key points about the UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka:


The resolution recognized the need for accountability for alleged violations of international human rights and humanitarian law during the country's civil war, which ended in 2009.


It called for the establishment of a credible, independent mechanism to investigate these alleged violations and ensure accountability for those responsible.


The resolution called for the protection and promotion of the rights of all individuals in Sri Lanka, including minorities and marginalized groups.


It called on the government of Sri Lanka to take steps to ensure the protection of human rights defenders and other civil society actors.


The resolution called for the establishment of a national action plan to implement the recommendations of the UNHRC and other international bodies, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.


It called on the government of Sri Lanka to cooperate with the UNHRC and other international bodies in implementing the resolution.


Overall, the UNHRC resolution on Sri Lanka aimed to address longstanding concerns about human rights in the country and promote greater accountability and respect for the rights of all individuals in Sri Lanka. It remains to be seen whether the government of Sri Lanka will fully implement the measures called for in the resolution.
