The report of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative (CHRI) for 2010 titled Easier Said Than Done, raises disturbing questions on India’s track record in human rights, particularly in an examination of India’s voting pattern at the UN Human Rights Council, said leading Indian media The Statesman on Sunday. The report lambastes India for making pre-election pledges to the Human Rights Council in order to get elected and then not keeping those promises. India has strongly opposed the efforts by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to call for independent inquiry on the human rights situation in Sri Lanka and secondly to provide assistance to countries for transitional justice, The Statesman said citing the CHRI report. The Commonwealth Day is celebrated on Monday.
