Together Against Genocide called on member states of the Human Rights Council to pursue recommendations of the UN report into Sri Lanka’s atrocities vial a full range of domestic and bilateral measures.
Welcoming the UNHRC resolution on Promoting Reconciliation, Accountability and Human Rights, TAG expressed regret that “the government of Sri Lanka has refused to de-militarize the North and East.”
Highlighting the Sri Lankan prime minister’s recent comments indicating he would protect “southerners”, TAG said “there is thus deep and legitimate doubt among the community of survivors and witnesses as to the good intent of the government and the credibility of its involvement in ensuring justice for mass atrocities.”
