The release of a UN report condemning Sri Lanka’s human rights record has put pressure on the United Nations to crack down on peacekeepers.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights’ latest report, released on January 17, recommended that Sri Lankan troops be reconsidered for peacekeeping operations.
Following the release of the report, the International Project for Truth and Justice (ITJP) has called on the United Nations to deploy Sri Lankan troops for peace. As standing.
Yasmin Sooka, executive director of the International Project on Truth and Justice (ITJP), said:
“As the report of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights confirms, Sri Lanka has the capability to ensure that the troops are properly searched and per-screened, so immediate action must be taken to bring the pre-trial process back to Geneva.”
