UN Human Rights chief to present oral update on Sri Lanka

Opening the 32nd session of the UN Human Rights Council on Monday, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, recalled the joint resolution passed on Sri Lanka, and affirmed he would be presenting an oral update later in the session.

"In Sri Lanka, the government’s efforts to implement its commitments in Resolution 30/1 will require a comprehensive strategy on transitional justice that enables it to pursue different processes in a coordinated, integrated and appropriately sequenced manner," he told the Council.

"This will require the inclusive and meaningful engagement of all Sri Lankans. I will present an oral update later in the session."
