Consensus built on local probe


2015-09-25

 consensus is gradually being built in the country that the allegations of human rights violations committed by the combatants during the final stage of the war between the security forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), should be investigated, amidst meek protests by some leaders of the former regime.

The foundation for the emerging consensus was laid with the announcement by the new government of President Maithripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe soon after it came to power in January that it would create a domestic mechanism for the investigation of the allegations.
