The UK Foreign Office minister Hugo Swire met with NGOs today, to follow up on UN Human Rights Council's resolution mandating the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to launch an international investigation in Sri Lanka.

"Had useful meeting with NGOs today on follow-up to UNHRC resolution passed on human rights abuses in Sri Lanka," Mr. Swire tweeted shortly after the meeting.

Earlier this month, Mr. Swire, who led calls for an international investigation as the UNHRC's 25th session began, stressed that the UK continued to have "real concerns in Sri Lanka".
