HRC resolution poses danger to Sri Lanka - JVP

The JVP says the UNHRC's resolution, calling on Sri Lanka to implement a credible justice mechanism to account for mass atrocities, poses some dangers to the country.

The party's secretary general, Tilvin Silva, said to reporters that several of the proposals in the resolution, including the call for international involvement cannot be accepted and could be a tactic by the West and the US to interfere in Sri Lanka.

“The Government cannot say the country had made a great achievement but should take things seriously,” he said.

Mr Silva said a domestic inquiry should be conducted without the involvement of any international bodies, and called for redress to be provided to those affected by the armed conflict.
