The United Nations, Human Rights and Multilateral Treaties & Commitments Division

Two Permanent Missions in New York and Geneva and six resident Missions in Vienna, Paris, Rome, Nairobi, Bangkok and The Hague come under the purview of this Division, in the context of multilateral relations.  The Division also works in close coordination with local line ministries/departments and agencies, UN agencies represented in Sri Lanka, international and local non-governmental organizations, civil society groups, and experts to promote and protect Sri Lanka’s interests, and contribute to the norm setting and other processes within the UN systems and procedures.
