UNHRC vote on Sri Lanka today, India set to vote against neighbour
New Delhi: The UPA-II regime continues to be on life support as it is now completely dependent on outside support after the DMK pulled out and the all-party meet on Wednesday failed to reach a consensus. While the UPA-II's fate hangs in balance, all eyes are on the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) vote on Sri Lankan war crimes, that will take place in Geneva on Thursday at 2:30 pm (IST).
The US-sponsored draft resolution before the ongoing session of the UNHRC calls the Sri Lankan government to conduct an "independent and credible" investigation into allegations of human rights violations. India is getting ready to move amendments to the US draft in Geneva. According to sources, one amendment asks the Sri Lankan government to form an independent inquiry commission to investigate allegations of abuses.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka at the United Nations is without its powerful allies of last year like Russia and China, who not only opposed the resolution then but campaigned very strongly against it. This time the Sri Lankan delegation itself is a low key affair as it has a small number of diplomats.
Most of the 13 Western and Eastern European nations are expected to support the resolution as are many of the 13 African nations. A good deal of support is also expected from the Latin American and Asian members. But this stands only to the extent that there is not very substantial change to the resolution.
