Sri Lanka has decided to withdraw from the UN human rights resolutions immediately following the United States' ban on Army Commander Shavendra Silva. The decision has been taken during a special meeting held between President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Minister of  Foreign Affairs Ministry yesterday (17). Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) General Secretary Dayasiri Jayasekara speaking to reporters today said that  government will withdraw from United Nations Human Rights Council resolutions 30/1 and 40/1 co-sponsored by the Yahapalana Government in 2015 and 2019. He said these resolutions did not receive cabinet approval nor was presented in Parliament. "Former Foreign Minister Mangala Samaraweera signed the resolutions without cabinet approval." Jayasekara added that the Geneva resolutions was weapon used against Sri Lanka and that Army Commander Shavendra Silva was one of the casualties. He said the United State's decision to ban Silva and his family members based on a report submitted by Human rights lawyer Yasmin Sooka was unjustifiable. "Sooka's 2015 report has not put forward credible evidence against Silva. The United States also has no right to ban the Army Commander for Human Rights violation when its own actions over human rights have been questioned," Jayasekara pointed out.
