The leader of the Janatha Sewaka Party declared he was willing to join forces with any other political party in Sri Lanka to defeat a UN Human Rights Council resolution on accountability for violations of international humanitarian law.
“I can’t remain silent when such resolution is destroying our independent state,” said Somawansa Amarasinghe, who added that he was open to the idea of partnering with the National Freedom Front.
Stating that the resolution has “violated even the UN convention”, Mr Amarasinghe said “this propaganda is handled by separatists because such global organisation is not supposed to adopt country-specific resolutions violating the country’s sovereignty and Constitution”.

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
