Writing in The Guardian today, the British Shadow Foreign Secretary, Douglas Alexander, called on David Cameron to reverse his approach with Sri Lanka.
Elaborating on his demand and providing assurance of the Labour party's intention of supporting the Prime minister, Alexander reiterated that Cameron must:
- Boycott the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting
- Set out a clear action plan to support improvements in human rights in Sri Lanka.
- Add voice to the growing calls for a full and independent UN-led investigation.
- Seek urgent assurances from Sri Lanka that it will respect the principles of the Commonwealth human rights charter during the summit.
