Sri Lanka will face a crucial vote on a fresh Resolution moved by the UK, Canada and Germany along with other states at the UN Human Rights Council tomorrow.
The Government has reached out to regional friends India, Pakistan, Nepal and Bangladesh, the countries which yield voting rights at the HRC, to garner support to defeat the Resolution, which the Government termed as a political move and an interference with the internal affairs of the country.
The country has also been lobbying friendly nations of the 47 members represented in Geneva at their capitals and in Colombo.
