Minister of Plantation Industries and Special Envoy of the President on Human Rights, Mahinda Samarasinghe has been included in the Sri Lankan delegation to the United Nations Human Rights Council session in Geneva next month.
The delegation will be led by Minister of External Affairs Professor G.L. Peiris, the Presidential Spokesman Mohan Smaranayake told Ada derana.
Sri Lanka is to face another resolution in the UN rights body in March.
The new resolution, moved by the US, will build on two others passed in 2012 and 2013. The previous resolutions, backed by India, sought commitments from Sri Lanka on reconciliation and rights accountability.
Sri Lanka fears that the new resolution may call for an independent international probe into the alleged war crimes during the final phase of the military battle with the LTTE in 2009.
