Proceeding contribution from Mike Gapes (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 February 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sri Lanka (Human Rights).
Sri Lanka (Human Rights)
Does the hon. Gentleman agree that we should also look at other international channels apart from the United Nations, given that the Human Rights Council took a deplorable decision in the previous consideration not to support an international inquiry into the event? The British Government should also raise the matter within the Commonwealth and follow the lead of the Canadian Prime Minister, who said that unless the situation in Sri Lanka changes, he will not attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Colombo in 2013.
