The attention of the people have been drawn to the sessions as a result of efforts made by Western countries led by the United states along with LTTE loyalist groups to bring forth a conspiratorial Resolution against Sri Lanka. However, reports emanating from Geneva said that the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navanetham Pillai in her opening statement had made no mention on Sri Lanka.
