| U.S. to propose new UN rights resolution against Sri Lanka | | | By Shihar Aneez COLOMBO (Reuters) - The United States will table a U.N. human rights resolution against Sri Lanka, a State Department official said on Saturday, putting new pressure on Colombo to address war crimes allegations. The United Nations has already called on Sri Lanka to punish military personnel responsible for atrocities in the civil war that the government won in 2009, and Washington says the human rights climate on the island is worsening. "Lack of progress in Sri Lanka has led to great deal of frustration and scepticism in my government and in the international community," Assistant Secretary of State Nisha Biswal told reporters in Colombo after a two-day visit. We heard from many people about people who are still unaccounted for, whose whereabouts and fates are unknown to their family members." Biswal declined to say what would be in the resolution to be tabled at the March session of the U.N. Human Rights Council, but U.S. Embassy officials have said it may call for an international investigation in Sri Lanka. |

| Thousands march in Madrid against planned abortion limits | |  By Inmaculada Sanz MADRID (Reuters) - Thousands of people marched in Spain's capital on Saturday to protest against a government plan to limit abortions that has caused unusually open divisions in the ruling conservative People's Party.

Four years ago, Spain came in line with most of the rest of Europe when the then Socialist government legalised abortion on demand in the first 14 weeks of pregnancy.
