Summary/Abstract: By his resolution 30/1, the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2015, asked Sri Lanka, to include Commonwealth and other foreign judges, defense lawyers and authorized prosecutors and investigators in the judicial mechanism on allegations of violations and abuses of human rights and violations of international humanitarian law during the war on terrorism. However, the Human Rights Council did not ask for an international criminal investigation to the perpetrators of the financing terrorism in Sri Lanka which is an obligation by the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy. In fact, the Human Rights Council by not asking an international criminal investigation for the finance of terrorism in Sri Lanka gave impunity for the perpetrators of the financing of terrorism.
