The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has expressed disappointment that the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) did not make an effort to hold Sri Lanka to fulfill his commitments when the island nation announced that it is withdrawing from the resolutions it co-sponsored to promote reconciliation and accountability, reports Colombo Page on March 4. In a report, the HRW Director John Fisher said, it was particularly disappointing that the UN Core Group on Sri Lanka – including the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, North Macedonia, and Montenegro – did not stand by the numerous victims of abuses by calling for renewed UNHRC action. The HRW says since taking office, Rajapaksa has repeatedly made clear his Government was not going to punish members of the security forces accused of war crimes, and has already stalled pending investigations.

We were monitoring the spread of COVID 19 closely and the three of us decided that it is impossible to hold the election on April 25th under the prevailing situation.
