The President said it was his responsibility to resolve all problems faced by his people. Rajapaksa said his objective while appointing the Lessons Learnt and  Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) was that he did not want the problems  faced by the people carried forward to the next generation. The President said LLRC was Sri Lanka's own probe and no one had  the right to force its implementation. He said he did not want lessons  on protecting human rights from outside. Rajapaksa's comments were his first direct public reaction since  the UN Human Rights Council on March 22 adopted the resolution against  Sri Lanka. The resolution asks Sri Lanka to implement the LLRC  recommendations towards reconciliation with the Tamil minority and for  accountability over alleged rights violations during the last phase of  the war against LTTE.PTI</blockquote>
