National Action Plan for Human Rights

The new National Action Plan for the Protection and Promotional of Human Rights in Sri Lanka was sanctioned by the Cabinet of Ministers.

The plan was tabled to the Cabinet by Minister of Plantation Industries and Special Envoy of President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Human Rights, Mahinda Samarasinghe.

The national action plan stemmed from the pledge made by the Government at its Universal Periodic Review before the UN Human Rights Council in 2008. This action plan was made possible with the contribution of all stake holders including the State and civil society organisations.

The process began with a review of the human rights situation in the country, which involved a desk review of several key documents including the Universal Periodic Review report on Sri Lanka, recommendations of treaty bodies under various UN human rights conventions and recommendations of the Special Procedures Mechanism.

This led to the identification of priority areas of civil and political rights, economic, social and cultural rights, torture, rights of children, labour rights and rights of migrant workers, rights of displaced persons in addition to rights already protected through the Constitution.
