<p>During my visit in early October 2017 to Colombo and Jaffna, I raised with Foreign
Minister Marapana the importance of the Sri Lankan government implementing in full
its commitments under UN Human Rights Council Resolution 34/1, which rolled over the
commitments made under 30/1. Resolution 30/1 recognised the importance of a credible
accountability process for those most responsible for violations and abuses. It also
called for the participation in Sri Lanka's judicial accountability process of Commonwealth
and other foreign judges, defence lawyers, and authorised prosecutors and investigators.</p><p>
</p><p>The UK is committed to the full implementation of Resolution 34/1 and will
continue to support the Government of Sri Lanka in its efforts to promote reconciliation
and human rights.</p>
