US to ‘support Sri Lanka fulfill UN resolution’
31Jul 2018
The United States said it will continue to “support Sri Lanka as it
fulfills its commitments” to a United Nations resolution calling for an
accountability mechanism with foreign judges to examine violations of
international law committed during the armed conflict.
US Embassy Chargé d’Affaires Robert Hilton met with the Chief Minister
of the Northern Province, where he “assured” him of the continued US
support to fulfill the resolution.
“Assured Chief Minister Wigneswaran that the U.S. continues to support
#SriLanka as it fulfills its commitments under #UNHRC Resolutions 30/1
(2015) and 34/1 (2017),” tweeted Mr Hilton.
“These commitments facilitate Sri Lanka’s expanded relationship with the U.S. and many others nations.”
Earlier this month the outgoing US Ambassador told the Tamil National
Alliance that the UN Human Rights Council resolution on accountability
and transitional justice would remain a basis for the relationship
between Sri Lanka and the USA,
Sri Lanka's President Maithripala Sirisena has repeatedly spoken out
against allowing foreign judges into the country to partake in an
accountability mechanism – a key component of the 2017 UN Human Rights
resolution. Despite this military relations between the two governments
have grown.
