Nigeria stated at the UNHRC that it will vote in favour of the draft resolution on Sri Lanka as it hoped that the country will benefit from it while adding that the resolution will help encourage the Sri Lankan government to address issues within the country.
Meanwhile, Kirghizstan stated that there was not enough time given to Sri Lanka to implement the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt as Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) and would therefore abstain from voting.
The delegation from Philippines stated that the technical advice mentioned within the resolution should not be used as an instrument of pressure on the have-nots and would vote against the resolution.
