*New Delhi:* India, Pakistan and China rallied behind Sri Lanka at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva last night to block a European move for an international probe into alleged war crimes during Colombo’s offensive against the Tamil Tigers. Rejecting the probe call by Switzerland, which was backed by most European countries including France, Germany and UK, the council passed a counter-resolution 29-12 with six abstentions, endorsing Colombo’s fight against terrorism and commending “measures taken by the Government of Sri Lanka to address the urgent needs of the internally displaced persons”. The US, elected to the council for the first time earlier this month, was not present since its term starts June 19. India, Pakistan and China, who in their own separate ways assisted the Sri Lankan government in its fight against LTTE terror, got together along with countries like Russia, Brazil and South Africa to ensure Colombo was not censured for alleged rights violation in the war zone and denial of access to the conflict area. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
