The 25th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council commenced in Geneva today.
The
inaugural statement was made by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon
followed by UN Human Rights Council Commissioner Navaneedan Pillai.
Ban
Ki-moon, during his statement, applauded the report presented by
Navaneedan Pillai on the accountability and reconciliation process in
Sri Lanka.
The UN Secretary General further said that Navaneedan Pillai acts fearlessly to protect the rights of the oppressed.
In
her statement before the session, Pillai stated that making any
accountability process successful on the basis of rule of law is still a
distant dream.
She insisted that governments should stop all
acts of vengeance against UN representatives and other individuals who
work with the UN.
