<p>The UK has not made such an assessment. The UK regularly discuses human rights,
reconciliation and the importance of social inclusion with the government of Sri Lanka,
including through encouraging the implementation of UNHRC resolution 30/1. The UK
has supported civil society organisations that have engaged children and youth across
the country through social media, youth exchange programmes and the arts in breaking
racial stereotypes and creating better ethnic and religious understanding and relations
between communities. The British Council has initiated research on school culture
in Sri Lanka that will look at issues including equality, rights, attitudes and community
engagement to foster social inclusion. Through its Active Citizens programme the British
Council brings together youth from different communities to work together on projects
that address issues at the community level.</p>
