Tamil families of the disappeared protested in Amparai on Sunday calling on the UN to ensure justice and deny Sri Lankan an extension on its resolution commitments.
The families said the international community should finally heed their declarations of no faith in any domestic mechanisms or investigations, which they had been rejecting for years.
The protest was held ahead of a mass rally in Kilinochchi and hartals the following day to coincide with the start of the 40th session of the UN Human Rights Council.
Families of the disappeared were joined by members of the public, with the demonstrators marching from the families campaign office to Thirukkovil town.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
