An open letter by 20 eminent persons to the 46th session of the Human Rights Council called on the international community to take immediate steps towards justice and accountability to end Sri Lankaâs continuing cycles of violence.
The recently released report on Sri Lanka by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights underlines, yet again, the countryâs lack of progress on justice and accountability. Based largely on an analysis of emerging trends, it makes a compelling case for decisive international action to ensure justice and accountability for mass human rights violations and atrocities in Sri Lanka as a central element of the search for sustained reconciliation and the prevention of the recurrence of rights abuses and conflict.
