 Monday, 06 January 2014 

The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) is making the necessary preparations to make representations to the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) during the March sessions and call for international intervention to address the issues in Sri Lanka.

TNA Spokesperson, parliamentarian Suresh Premachandran has said the government has failed to respect the resolutions adopted at the UNHRC in 2012 and 2013 on addressing post war issues and implementing the LLRC recommendations.

He has noted that the TNA will push for an international effort to pressure the government and the party will meet with members of the international community create awareness about the issues in Sri Lanka.

Meanwhile, President Mahinda Rajapaksa last week met Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran and TNA MP M.A. Sumanthiran and discussed some of the long standing issues in the North that needs to be addressed.
