Sri Lanka's main opposition United National Party (UNP) says the government should work towards winning the support of the international community (IC) without trying to take the people to the streets to protest against the UN Human Rights Council.
The UNP maintains that the government needed to be tactful in handling the possible resolution to be presented at the UN Human Rights Council sessions without going into a conflict.
UNP parliamentarian Lakshman Kiriella has said the government should show the international community that while human rights are being protected, a political solution to the ethnic issue is being sincerely worked out following the end of the war.
He has noted that the best way was to implement the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC).
According to Kiriella, the government cannot win the international community by organizing street protests.
