No matter the consequence we will not work according to Geneva resolution : Govt. official stance

 (Lank-e-News-26.March.2012, 11.55PM) The SL Govt. today officially announced that no matter the consequence, it will not implement the resolutions adopted at the Geneva human rights conference, and it has no need to do anything new.

Dr. G L Peiris the SL foreign Minister made this announcement. This was the Govt.’s first official announcement following the Geneva resolutions. He pointed out that the Geneva resolutions being not followed does not mean running counter .
Dr. G L Peiris elaborated as follows :
‘ Firstly . I wish to tell that our country’s policy is based on a fundamental tenet. We have taken a clear decision, and whatever the result we will not waver. We will not agree with whatever resolutions brought against our country. There is no agreement at all from our side. Several countries have clearly notified to us that they respect our stance .

These resolutions were adopted. But what is its result ? We have no reason at all to get frightened on this. Some are talking about the economic sanctions. That is not the truth. Because of the resolutions at Geneva there aren’t going to be economic sanctions. These two things are not inter related. This is not a decision of the economic Council. This will not take place that way. Therefore we need not unnecessarily fear or panic. But we labored this much because of a reasonable ground. We flatly oppose this issue being internationally focused.
Now , what is our future course of action ? That is what is most important above all others. There will be no changes in our future course of action. We will not do anything new. There is no necessity for that. We will not leave room for foreign forces to interfere in our affairs. Our policies are decided based on one tenet .That is our nation’s aspirations. It is on that tenet we work.’, Dr. Peiris declared
