Sri Lanka’s Ambassador in Washington, Ravinatha Aryasinha on June 5 has called upon the US House Foreign Affairs Committee (FAC) not to proceed with the Resolution on Sri Lanka, reports Sunday Observer. In a communication addressed to FAC Chair Representative Gregory Meeks (Democrat, New York) and Ranking Member Representative Michael McCaul (Republican, Texas), the Government said that it vehemently opposes the contents of the Resolution which contains allegations relating to Sri Lanka that are inaccurate, biased and unsubstantiated, raising grave suspicion regarding the intention of the Resolution. The Resolution H. RES. 413 which calls for an international mechanism for accountability on Sri Lanka on allegations of war crimes was moved by Congresswoman Deborah Ross (Democrat, North Carolina) on May 18, 2021.
