Please find attached the “Common Proposal” for the forthcoming resolution at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which was communicated to Ambassadors, Permanent Missions, the OHCHR, and other relevant stakeholders on 25 August 2025.
This comprehensive proposal has been jointly prepared and submitted by the British Tamils Forum, together with our sister organisations worldwide. It includes:
- Robust international criminal justice mechanisms to address past and ongoing violations and ensure accountability.
- Interim measures for reparations to support victims and affected communities, with a particular focus on the war-devastated North and East of Sri Lanka.
- A long-term framework for constitutional and institutional reform to guarantee non-recurrence of violence, systemic discrimination, and genocide.
