Sampanthan has reportedly written to the  member states of the UNHRC to support the US resolution which calls for  an independent investigation into the war crime allegations.   The United States Wednesday submitted the draft resolution against  Sri Lanka to the UNHRC calling for the government to implement the  "constructive recommendations" in the LLRC report and take measures to  initiate a credible and independent investigation into accountability  issues.   The resolution also requests the Sri Lankan government to present a  comprehensive action plan expeditiously on the measures to be initiated  for implementation of the LLRC recommendations and accept advice and  technical assistance of implementing those steps.   The government has repeatedly said that it will implement the LLRC  recommendations systematically and it needs more time and space without  foreign interference to achieve the goal.
