I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

expresses its concern about the high number of civilian deaths and injuries that have occurred as a result of people being caught in the crossfire of Sri Lanka’s civil war;

(b)

supports calls on the Sri Lankan Government from the United Nations, the Red Cross and Amnesty International to ensure the safety of civilians in war-torn areas and their safe passage out of those areas; and

(c)

supports calls on the Sri Lankan Government to lift bans on journalists and aid workers entering war zones.

Question agreed to.
