ஐ.நா. மனித உரிமைகள் பேரவை 57/1UNHRC Resolution 57/1 (2024)
The October 2024 UN Human Rights Council resolution extending the OHCHR Sri Lanka Accountability Project mandate.
Resolution 57/1, adopted by the UN Human Rights Council in October 2024, extended the OHCHR Sri Lanka Accountability Project mandate established under Resolution 46/1 (2021) and renewed under 51/1 (2022). It maintains the evidence-preservation, analysis and victim-support functions of the OHCHR mechanism, alongside continued reporting on the human-rights situation.
§1What it preserves
The Accountability Project continues to consolidate, analyse and preserve information and evidence of gross violations of international human-rights and humanitarian law in Sri Lanka, and to develop possible strategies for future accountability processes. It is the live operational link between the 2009 final-stages evidence base and any future credible accountability mechanism — domestic or international.
§2What it does not do
57/1 does not establish a tribunal, does not authorise prosecutions, and does not name perpetrators in the resolution text itself. Naming and adjudication remain the work of accredited courts exercising domestic, regional or universal jurisdiction.
