Ahead of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) sessions, the government has started a major diplomatic battle here in Geneva to secure the support of the member states to defeat a planned resolution against Sri Lanka with regard to the alleged rights violations during the last stage of the war, Minister G. L. Peiris said yesterday.
External Affairs Minister Prof. Peiris told journalists during a breakfast meeting that the United States had now called its resolution ‘harmless’ , and Sri Lanka should not be worried about it. The Minister said that the government would not support the latest stand by the US in this respect.
