Nepal, Sept. 25 -- On September 25, Sri Lanka will face the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on the accountability process for the alleged war crimes during the last phase of the country's civil war. During the period, thousands perished, including those who were assured security in the state-designated 'no fire zone'. In the 60th regular session of the UNHRC held on September 8 at Geneva, the Human Rights High Commissioner asked Sri Lanka to constitute international accountability mechanisms to look into the violation of human rights to ensure accountability is guaranteed. Sri Lanka's brush with human rights violations continues as the UNHRC is persistently pursuing the matter of rights violations.
