REF: STATE 145641 
 
Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Sri Lankan Ministry of 
Foreign Affairs Deputy Director for UN and Multilateral 
Affairs Satya Rodrigo on October 23. Rodrigo said that Sri 
Lanka remains undecided on all of the UNGA Third Committee 
Resolutions. He undertook to inform Poloff once any 
decisions have been made. Rodrigo noted that Japan has been 
encouraging Sri Lanka to support the country specific 
resolution on North Korea. (Note: Given the deteriorating 
human rights situation in Sri Lanka, Post considers it 
unlikely that Sri Lanka would endorse any country specific 
resolutions on human rights.)
