STATEMENT BY HON. FOREIGN MINISTER OF SRI LANKA AT THE 48TH REGULAR SESSION OF THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL, 14 SEPTEMBER 2021, GENEVA
Tuesday, 14 September 2021
Madam President,
Let me begin by reiterating our strong and continued cooperation with this Council and the United Nations mandated human rights system, in keeping with our Constitution and our international obligations voluntarily undertaken.
Twelve years ago, Sri Lanka eradicated LTTE terrorism on its soil. We have restored peace, security and stability for the benefit of our people. We held firm to our democratic traditions and elections were held at regular intervals with high levels of voter participation – most recently at the 2019 Presidential and 2020 Parliamentary polls. The Government is committed to holding the Provincial Council elections at the earliest.
