MARTIN IHOEGHIAN UHOMOIBHI, President of the Human Rights Council, in concluding remarks, said that what had taken place was good for the Council. It was in line with the mandate of the Council. He commended the delegation of Sri Lanka for being part of the discussion. From the discussion it was true there was no unanimous outcome, but it was important to have discussed it. Immediately when Member States began to select what should be discussed and what should not be discussed, it diminished the purpose of the Human Rights Council. He did not subscribe to the thinking that because consensus was not achieved it was a failure; it reflected the diversity and difference of opinion, which was good. He agreed with the delegation of Sri Lanka that this resolution was not a blank cheque. The draft resolution endorsed the joint statement made by the Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Government of Sri Lanka. Every single text in that document had been endorsed, which should be a measure of satisfaction for the work done today. The Council met in line with the rules of procedure. Working towards full consensus was something that Member States should strive for, but this was a work in progress.

  • UN should not hinder development and political process & respect UNHRC 11sp session conclusions.

    July 2 (DM) EPDP leader Minister Douglas Devananda speaks to Daily Mirror about his views on a political solution to the national question and the appointment of UN experts’ panel to look into the alleged human rights violations during the last phase of war. Minister Devananda stood against the LTTE right throughout. He narrowly escaped from death on several occasions in the LTTE suicide attacks.

  • Here comes truth behind Unrestricted Access to IDP camps. GOSL has identified 6 foreign nationals, including Australians, among tens of thousands of war displaced civilians held in IDP camps in North East of Sri Lanka on 4th June2009. Three Australians and one each from Britain, the Netherlands and Norway over stayed 6months, , supported LTTE anti-sri lanka propaganda. a reason, why EU wanted unrestricted access to IDP camps to save these spies. GOSL should thoroughly investigate, trace calls.

  • Why there are no comments?

    You Tube baised?

  • Dr, Pakayasothy,

    When people can live withing existing system in addition to proposed govt recociliation programe to remove language barrier, why you keep promoting rejected federal idea by majority sri lankans?

    You are one of the members in Eelam separatist think tank. You are aiming at another Eelam war. We have shed enough blood in this country by all ethnic groups. We need peace, not war!
