Sri Lanka dismisses US Senate resolution call for 'accountability'
Sri Lanka on Friday dismissed a US Senate resolution calling for ``accountability'' for the alleged human rights violations during the last phase of the ethnic war, saying that the government-appointed 'Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission' has been adequately empowered.
Sri Lanka is to formally respond to a new US resolution on Sri Lanka tabled at the United Nations Human Rights Council, the foreign ministry said Tuesday.
