@UNHumanRights⁩ report to UN #humanrights council leaked by #srilanka - large portions here: http://www.sundaytimes.lk/210124/columns/429926-429926.html
It purportedly says “ #srilanka remains in a state of denial about the past with truth seeking efforts aborted”.
"The failure to implement any vetting or comprehensive reforms in the security sector means that the State apparatus and some of its members credibly implicated in the alleged grave crimes and human rights violations remain in place.”

Yes! #lka
' #SriLanka’s current trajectory sets the scene for the recurrence of the policies and practices that gave rise to grave #HumanRights violations.’ warns / @UNHumanRights
according to leaked report from @TimesOnlineLK
. @UNHumanRights leaked report (assuming it’s accurate) talks of an increased militarisation of the State - viz https://itjpsl.com/assets/press/ENGLISH-Battlefield-to-Boardroom-copy.pdf @JDSLanka & @itjpsl
The UN Human Rights Council is 'at a critical turning point in its engagement with #SriLanka’ says what appears to be a leaked version of . @UNHumanRights report.
leaked UN report purportedly tells members states they can refer #lka to ICC, bring UJ cases, apply sanctions & support dedicated ‘capacity’ to advance cases.
oh and Geneva says . @UNPeacekeeping should keep under review #SriLankanNavy contributions to UN peacekeeping operations and screening systems for Sri Lanka personnel.

Has there been any diminishment in deployment ?
recommendations from leaked version of UN report - 'Remove from office security personnel and other public officials credibly implicated in human rights violations…'

We are so far from that!
And most importantly perhaps - @UNHumanRights says Council should 'Support a dedicated capacity to collect and preserve evidence for future accountability processes’!!!
Not necessarily a IIIM but something to preserve evidence and liaise with international prosecutors.
