US welcomes Pillay UNHRC report

The US State Department has said in a press release on the outcomes of the 24th UN Human Rights Council Session in Geneva that it welcomes High Commissioner Navi Pillay’s report.

It highlighted restrictions on freedom of expression, attacks on human rights defenders and journalists, and interference with the judiciary as areas of concern and said the US “also noted the High Commissioner’s assessment that, absent meaningful progress on post-conflict accountability, calls for an international inquiry will persist.”
