The Jathika Hela Urumuya (JHU) warned that nothing in a recently passed UN Human Rights Council resolution on Sri Lanka could be implemented without parliamentary approval.
Speaking to The Sunday Leader JHA media spokesperson Nishantha Sri Warnasinghe said his party would not allow any force to threaten the sovereignty of Sri Lanka “at any cost”.
“They cannot implement anything in the resolution without getting the consent of parliament”, said the spokesperson. “Even though the UN report suggests a hybrid court or a court of similar nature to look into the issues raised internationally, they need to pass that through the parliament.”
“If any system which overpowers the Sri Lankan judiciary is proposed to parliament, we will not support it,” he added.
