A trip over its own feet
APMUCH TO DO: While Sri Lanka has taken some steps towards reconciliation, which Ms Pillay noted, it still has a long way to go.
September 11, 2013
It is in Sri Lanka's own long-term interests to engage constructively with the many concerns raised by Navanethem Pillay during her recent visit there
As the U.N. Human Rights Council meets once again in Geneva this month, the portents for Sri Lanka are not promising. Later in this session (which began on September 9 and will run until September 27), U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navanethem Pillay will make an oral presentation on Sri Lanka’s human rights situation based on her recent visit to the country. She is to make a written submission in March 2014.
