The UN Human Rights Council will continue to press Sri Lanka to uphold its human rights obligations, end impunity, and establish a comprehensive accountability process for all human rights violations and abuses. The resolution, in Canada’s opinion, is a step toward ensuring a secure, peaceful, and inclusive future for Sri Lanka, and it stands ready to support efforts to achieve this goal.
