Joint business chambers condemn UNHRC resolution against Lanka

The joint Chambers of Commerce of Sri Lanka expressed concern over the resolution to be tabled at the UNHRC against Sri Lanka. The Government of Sri Lanka has on numerous occasions expressed its commitment to fully implement the LLRC proposals in an expeditious manner.

The business community will fully support the development and reconciliation activities that will be undertaken by the Government of Sri Lanka, where all communities could benefit from the sustainable peace that has been attained after the thirty-year conflict.

The business community would also like to remind the international community that this is an internal matter and that the proposed resolution at this juncture would not be in the interest of the reconciliation process.

The statement was issued by The National Chamber of Commerce, National Chamber of Exporters, Chamber of Young Lankan Entrepreneurs (COYLE), Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF), Ceylon National Chamber of Industries (CNCI), Federation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry of Sri Lanka (FCCISL), Free Trade Zone Manufacturers’ Association (FTZMA) and Ceylon Chamber of Commerce (CCC)
