The Foreign Minister of Denmark Villy Sovndal, speaking on behalf of the EU at the 19th  session of the UN Human Rights Council today, said that Sri Lanka must  also be told to engage with the UN on the Experts Panel report. “Accountability for past violations must remain high on the Council’s  agenda.  Impunity for human rights violations is an unsolvable debt,  which, if unaddressed, is transmitted through generations. No country,  no society can afford this. This is true in the case of Sri Lanka where  accountability must be an essential part of any process of national  reconciliation. We believe that the Human Rights Council should engage  the authorities to fully implement the recommendations of the Lessons  Learned and Reconciliation Commission, and to engage with the UN on the  Report of the UN Secretary General’s Panel of Experts,” he said. Meanwhile South Africa commended the Sri Lankan government for its  decision to setup an authoritative mechanism to further investigate  allegations related to human rights abuses and he encouraged the  government to take decisive action upon the findings. South African Deputy Minister of International Relations Marius  Fransman, told the Council during the session today that his government  has also noted the release of the LLRC report and its positive  recommendations.SL</blockquote>
