Sri Lanka’s Acting Permanent Representative to the United Nations (UN) Dayani Mendis at the Interactive Dialogue during the 44th Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on July 2, in Geneva said that Sri Lanka is committed to achieving reconciliation despite withdrawal from UN resolution, reports Colombo Page. “We urge all parties once again to recognize the realities on the ground, and appreciate this approach of focusing on deliverable measures of reconciliation – which is backed by a people’s mandate and is in the interest of Sri Lanka and its people, instead of opting to continue with a framework driven externally that has failed to deliver genuine reconciliation for over four and half years,” she said.
