Much to be done' by Sri Lanka to implement UN resolution says Britain

British Foreign Office Minister Hugo Swire said “there remains much to be done” to implement a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution on Sri Lanka, in a written statement to parliament this week.

Responding to a question from parliamentarian Wes Streeting, Mr Swire said “Sri Lanka has made encouraging progress towards fulfilling its commitments to UNHRC Resolution 30/1 but we recognise there remains much to be done”.

“We look forward to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights’ assessment of progress at the next Human Rights Council in June,” added the minister.
