United Nations: The UN has said it has prepared an action plan to prevent human rights violations in countries after learning from the final phase of the military conflict in Sri Lanka, the world body's chief has said.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said a ‘Rights Up Front Action Plan' which has now been introduced is based on what a UN Panel of Experts learned from the situation in Sri Lanka.
“As you know, I established a Panel of Experts and the Panel of Experts requested me to see whether the United Nations had done...addressed properly,” Ban said while addressing a year-end press briefing at the UN Headquarters yesterday.
“We had a very serious internal review. As a result of this we established this very important action plan. Of course, this ‘Rights Up Front Action Plan' is not aiming at any particular country or any particular case. This will be used for all countries and all cases, all situations,” he said.
