NPC urges govt. to address accountability issues

Ts National Peace Council (NPC) has warned against what it called the danger of unjustified complacency following the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution adopted last month in Geneva, which gave Sri Lanka two more years to fulfil its commitments on accountability, truth-seeking, and reparations.

The NPC also pointed out that the resolution also de-emphasised the need for an international mechanism at this time.

The NPC issued the following statement over the weekend: “Sri Lanka stands at a moment when political intent, social demand, and institutional opportunity align. The people have given the new government a decisive majority and a clear mandate for change. With a two-thirds majority in Parliament, a largely cooperative opposition, and an expectant population, the government now has a unique opportunity to deliver on its promises of system change and to move forward on long-delayed justice and reconciliation.
