<p>We remain concerned about the human rights situation in Sri Lanka especially in
the North. Our concerns include the continued intimidation and harassment of human
rights defenders (HRDs) and activists, attacks on religious minorities, and the protection
of the right to freedom of expression and opinion.</p><p>Through our Mission in Geneva,
we maintain regular contact with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
Following the adoption of the resolution, we are engaging with international partners
to ensure the implementation of the resolution's international investigation into
violations of international law by both sides during Sri Lanka's conflict. We believe
that progress on accountability, human rights and reconciliation is important in establishing
enduring peace and reconciliation in Sri Lanka. Such progress will ensure Sri Lanka
can reach its full potential as a strong and prosperous nation.</p>
