Sri Lanka tells UN to be more objective

Sri Lanka has urged the United Nations including the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) to follow due process and be guided by objective criteria in assessing development in the country.

The External Affairs Ministry on Wednesday quoted Sri Lanka’s new Ambassador to the UN in Geneva Ravinatha Aryasinha as saying that the UN and member states must not allow rump elements of the Tamil Tiger rebels based overseas, some Tamil diaspora groups and others with vested interests to ‘hijack’ multilateral processes to serve their narrow agendas.

“As Sri Lanka was committed to the respectful engagement with the UN system, reciprocally there was also need on the part of all of Sri Lanka’s interlocutors to appreciate the difficult tasks that had been achieved by the government over the past three years since the defeating of LTTE (Tamil Tiger) terrorism,” he said.
