PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Sri Lanka: Human Rights (25 May 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what assessment he has made of the International Truth and Justice Project’s submission to the Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime regarding Sri Lanka.

Asked by:
Ed Davey (Liberal Democrat)

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is grateful for the submission from the International Truth and Justice Project in relation to Sri Lanka. The UK's Global Human Rights sanctions regime offers a powerful tool to hold to account those involved in serious human rights violations or abuses. We will keep all evidence, including the submission from the International Truth and Justice Project, and potential listings under review. However, it is not appropriate to speculate who may be designated in the future, as to do so could reduce the impact of the designation.
