Sri Lanka: Rights Groups Urge Strong UN Resolution

The United Nations Human Rights Council should adopt a strong resolution on Sri Lanka that strengthens current UN mandates on accountability for crimes under international law and monitors the country’s deteriorating human rights situation, four international human rights organizations said in a letter to Council member states published today. The resolution should also call upon Sri Lanka to address ongoing abuses, including by ending the use of the draconian Prevention of Terrorism Act.
