Walter Lippmann has provided me with the full Cuban perspective on the Sri Lanka report presented to the UN Human Rights Council. This is very useful; the text is in his comment here.
Perhaps the most important points highlighted in the speech are: (1) the new Human Rights Council must embrace operational transparency and cooperative methods if it is to be successful where the old organization was not; and (2) the international community must not only seek to chide Sri Lanka for its human rights record in extremely difficult and devastating times, but should work to provide support in the fight against poverty and underdevelopment in the country.
These are points I neglected in my previous post, and which must be noted.
