The resolution on ‘Promoting reconciliation, accountability and human rights in Sri Lanka’ was adopted after 22 states of the 47-member Council voted in its favour.
While 14 countries, including India, Japan and Nepal, abstained from voting, 11 countries, including China, Pakistan, Russia and Bangladesh voted against the resolution, and in support of the Sri Lankan government.
Sri Lanka is resisting the process envisaged in the resolution to prosecute war criminals through an international evidence gathering and investigation mechanism.
The Sri Lankan administration was counting on India’s support and had even expressed its confidence in obtaining India’s support at the Human Rights Council voting.
On the other hand, the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) sought the exact opposite outcomes on the resolution.
