The statement further reads as follows;
It is in this context the UNP is moving the following amendment to resolution No.P.212/14 of 13th June 2014.
The house regrets that the government failed to consult Parliament prior to,

b. Jointly sponsoring a resolution at the UNHRC bearing No. S 11/1 in May 2009 and the matters agreed upon and
