Therefore, there is nothing comical if perceived from another perspective, that the resolution did not secure a majority of the 47 Member Human Rights Council and furthermore, that 25 Members did not affirmatively support the Resolution. Under the circumstances, the need to draw special attention to arrangements in Sri Lanka is a slur on what Sri Lanka has rightfully determined for itself. The impression conveyed upon perusing the list of societal shortcomings cited in Section 7 is that they are unique to Sri Lanka. It should also promote the effective coordination and the mainstreaming of human rights within the United Nations system;4. What Sri Lanka could do is table a Resolution in the General Assembly highlighting the issues at stake and seek redress.
