The Draft resolution on Sri Lanka as on 6th March

Much heat has been generated on what the UNHRC will do either today ot tomorrow on Sri Lanka. 


India has vacillated between abstaining and "inclined" to vote for the resolution even as Colombo has appealed to New Delhi to review its decision.


Opinion in India, driven both by domestic politics and  strategic need, is divided. 


Now one hears the effort is to amend the resolution in such a way that it neither embarrasses the Sri Lankan government nor spares the LTTE .


 It is likely to go down to the wire, as they say in cricket. 


Read the draft as it existed on 6th March, a fortnight ago.


Harmless enough?


By the time it is put to vote in the next 48 hours, the draft would surely undergo a lot of change.
