Remarks by Mangala Samaraweera on the UNHRC Resolution on Sri Lanka
During the last few weeks, much has been talked about the Geneva resolution which was presented on March 23. I felt it as my duty to speak about this as the Minister of Foreign Affairs at that time when Sri Lanka along with the United States, United Kingdom and 40 other countries co-sponsored the 30/1 resolution on Sri Lanka.
If we are to go back to the beginning, it was on May 23, 2009, just a week after the conclusion of the deadly war with the LTTE, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, came to Sri Lanka on the invitation of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Intense focus on two key events Daily News (via HT Media Ltd.)
The Government is focusing this week on two key events that are likely to be in the news for some time to come because of their potential political fallout - the Easter Sunday terrorist attacks in 2019 and the Resolution passed on Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions last week.
The Easter Sunday attacks have been the subject of much discussion of late because the Presidential Commission of Inquiry (PCoI) appointed to probe the heinous attacks, appointed by former President Maithripala Sirisena, submitted its final report to President Gotabaya Rajapaksa recently.
