It
was a session marred by allegations and counter allegations on Sri
Lanka, but, in the end, the resolution on Sri Lanka submitted before
the UN Human Rights Council was adopted, not before there was a bit
of drama.
The draft resolution submitted
by the United States and co-sponsored by 41 countries, including
those who do not have voting rights in the Council, was adopted with
23 countries of the 47 member council voting for and 12 against while
12 abstained.
