New US resolution on Lanka will push for CoI at UNCHR


The United States (US) will be submitting a new resolution on Sri Lanka at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva in March, a US official has said.
Tamil National Alliance (TNA) Parliamentarian M.A. Sumanthiran said that the visiting US Ambassador-at-Large at the Office of Global Criminal Justice, Stephen J. Rapp had mentioned this when he met a TNA delegation in Colombo.
Sumanthiran told the BBC Tamil service that the resolution will push for an independent international investigation into war crimes in Sri Lanka.
