The European Union today decided to support the US sponsored resolution against Sri Lanka at the forthcoming UN Human Rights Council session in Geneva, an official document said.
 

The document, which was adopted by the EU foreign ministers in Brussels on Monday, reads that, “the EU will also support efforts aimed at keeping the issues of accountability and reconciliation as well as the current human rights situation in Sri Lanka on the agenda of the Human Rights Council.”
 

The Council's conclusions stress the importance of addressing key human rights concerns in Syria, Mali, Myanmar, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Sudan and South Sudan.
