Sri Lanka emphasized that it rejects all the allegations of human rights violations contained in the Annual Report of the United Nations Secretary-General (UNSG) on Sri Lanka submitted to the UN Human Rights Council.

Dayani Mendis, Sri Lanka's Acting Permanent Representative to the Government in Geneva, made this observation yesterday (30) at the 45th session of the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) with regard to the reference contained in the Annual Report of the Secretary-General on "Cooperation with the United Nations, its representatives and mechanisms in the field of human rights", presented to the UNHRC.

With regard to alleged “intimidating visits”, “surveillance”, complaints of harassment” and “reprisals” referred to in the UNSG’s Report, the government invited to the parties concerned to make formal complaints to law enforcement authorities or to independent national institutions such as the Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka or the National Police Commission, so that action can be taken to investigate the alleged incidents.
