Sri Lanka has completed 19.4% of the measures it committed to implement under the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) resolution 30/1 as of end-August 2023, according to the UNHRC Monitor published by Verité Research.
However, 61.1% of the commitments in the resolution – which was co-sponsored by Sri Lanka – have seen ‘poor’ or ‘no’ progress, eight years since it was adopted in October 2015.
The ‘UNHRC Monitor’ of Verité Research is the first and only monitor of its kind which objectively tracks the implementation of Resolution 30/1. A written update on Sri Lanka is scheduled to be delivered at the 54th Regular Session of the UNHRC on 11 September 2023.
