We must be
instructed by people who know little of our history, culture and
socio-political background. , from the Ashokan Rock Edicts of the 3rd
Century before the Christian era, societies in our region have been
guided by values underscoring good governance and human rights. We do
not need to be told. We do not need to be taught.
These are not culturally relativist arguments but are values
deeply embedded in our social and cultural makeup. In the modern
post-colonial phase, we have as independent and sovereign democracies,
undertaken international obligations with regard to human rights. We
have democratic constitutional processes in place. We are fully aware of
what we need to do domestically and internationally. We participate in
discussions with treaty bodies. We participate in the UPR process. We
come before this august Body in a spirit of openness and candour and
discuss issues. Sri Lanka has voluntarily provided information on the
various facets the of post conflict developments to the international
community, through the Universal Periodic Review and UN Human Rights
Council sessions. Sri Lanka will continue to proactively and voluntarily
engage with UN mechanisms including Special Procedures, Treaty Bodies,
as it did in the past.
