UN resolution on SL to be put for vote this week
The Island
|October 07, 2025
Twenty-two countries have signed on as cosponsors to a revised UN resolution that will be voted on this week, extending the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights' (OHCHR) mandate on in Sri Lanka for another two years, according to Tamil Guardian.
-
The updated draft, which was tabled in Geneva on 01 October, will be taken up for consideration at the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on 08 October. The main sponsors of the resolution are the United Kingdom, Canada, Malawi, Montenegro and North Macedonia, with the majority of additional backers coming from European states.
Ten of the 27 countries sponsoring the resolution are current members of the UNHRC. The text extends both the OHCHR’s reporting mandate on Sri Lanka and the evidence-gathering mechanism known as the Sri Lanka Accountability Project (OSLAP).
The OSLAP unit was established to collect and preserve evidence of human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law committed in Sri Lanka, and to support potential future judicial proceedings in competent jurisdictions.
