The party also said New Delhi should press Colombo for implementation of the 13th Amendment to the Sri Lankan Constitution as an "interim relief" to the ethnic minorities.
DMK's key decision-making body remained undecided on forming alliance for next year's Lok Sabha polls with none of the 23 resolutions at the meeting of the general council making any mention about elections or a tie-up.
The general council, which met under its chief M Karunanidhi, said devolution of powers as envisaged in the 13th Amendment of the Sri Lankan constitution, an Indian initiative, was yet to become a reality.
Despite an elected government to the Northern Province under CV Wigneswaran, key powers including dissolution of the provincial councils were with President Mahinda Rajapakse, a resolution said.
Powers that had been given to northern and eastern provinces were "watered down" ones, it said.
The general council demanded that India play an active role for a referendum among Tamils in the said provinces, besides expatriates, in line with "people's desire" for a political solution.
"While insisting for India to move and adopt a resolution in the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) for a credible and independent international probe into (alleged) war crimes and human rights violations against Tamils, this general council insists that as an interim relief, the Indian government should at least press Sri Lanka for the implementation of the 13th Amendment," the party resolved.
This will help the Tamils with devolution of powers, it said.
Karunanidhi had said yesterday that the general council will take a call on alliance formation, but the party seemed to be undecided, going by the resolutions.
A total of 23 resolutions were passed but there was no mention about alliance or anything else related to next year's Lok Sabha polls.
DMK sources said different views were put forth by various general council members, including tie-ups with one of the national parties -- Congress or BJP.
Many members also suggested to keep away from the national parties, saying DMK could lead an alliance of local parties.
On the issue of alleged attacks on Indian fishermen by Sri Lankan navy, the party resolved that the Centre and state governments should expedite steps for arranging proposed meeting of fishermen associations from India and Sri Lanka in Chennai without any delay.
Among others, it urged the Centre to take steps for the completion of Sethusamudram project, even as the general council criticised it and the ruling AIADMK government for the price rise situation.
