International Current Affairs 2012. UN human rights council in Geneva adopted a resolution against Sri Lanka's Human rights record. 24 countries including India voted for the resolution

UN human rights council in Geneva adopted a resolution against Sri Lanka's Human rights record. 24 countries including India voted for the resolution and 15 against. 9 countries abstained from voting. The resolution is about Human Rights violations committed by the Sri Lankan Army in its war with LTTE, which ended in May, 2009.


However, India also emphasised that resolutions of this nature should fully respect the sovereign rights of states and contribute to Sri Lanka’s own efforts in this regard.
India's voting in favour of US Resolution on Sri Lanka in Geneva was in line with its stand. India has no intention to infringe on Sri Lanka's sovereignty but India is concerned about Tamils getting justice and dignity.
