Sri Lanka is not concerned by an Amnesty International report submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Committee said the Sri Lankan Human Rights Commissioner, on Thursday.
Amnesty International submitted a 40 page report documenting violations of civil and political rights to the UNHRC International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), which will convene on 07 October.
Speaking to Sri Lankan press, the Sri Lankan Human Rights Commissioner Prathiba Mahanamahewa, said,
“This is only a report so nothing to worry about that but we, Sri Lanka, have to be very much concerned about the contents in the report and to respond. Submitting a report by Amnesty International is not final and conclusive, this will be lengthily discussed, debated, argued, and recommendations will be submitted. Sri Lanka must be ready to respond to the report in coming sessions next week.”
