Sri Lanka's president discusses UNHRC resolution with religious leaders

Sri Lanka’s President Maithripala Sirisena held a discussion with religious leaders of all faiths to discuss the proposals and challenges of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution into accountability and reconciliation.

Hosting the religious leaders at the Presidential Secretariat on Thursday, Mr Sirisena proposed to set up a 25 member committee representing all religions to overcome existing challenges agreed by the committee.

Calling on the religious leaders to comment parliamentary discussions on the UNHRC resolution, Mr Sirisena added,

“As we find speedy solutions to current issues it is a must to find a program to ensure long term national reconciliation in the country.”
