Amnesty
Although the Consultations Task Force has conducted island-wide consultations, there is
generally no meaningful consultation on the framework for any of the TJ mechanisms.
Centre for Justice and Change
Truth seeking mechanism is not established. So far there had been no consultation with
victims and civil societies in establishing the same. People were consulted in 2016 through
CTF –SCRM established for this purpose but the Government has not taken their
recommendations in formulating the mechanism.
Families of the Disappeared
This is a promise given always by the OMP commissioners but still nothing has started,
ICJ
The Consultation Task Force on Reconciliatory Mechanisms which held extensive public
consultations stated in its report that it received a significant number of submissions on the
value of truth seeking and the objectives of the proposed Truth, Justice Reparations and Nonrecurrence Commission.
The Working Group notes
information according to which
the Consultation Task Force on
Reconciliatory
Mechanisms
carried
out
extensive
consultations including on the
topic of truth-seeking and that a
summary
of
submissions
received on this topic is included
in its final report. The Working
Group regrets that the Institution
is not yet established and
encourages further meaningful
consultations
with
victims
associations and other civil
society organizations with a
view to its prompt creation.
Paragraphs 15-21 of the Executive Summary and Recommendations of the Final Report of
the Consultation Task Force on Reconciliatory Mechanisms lists out the recommendations
regarding the truth-seeking institutions.72
ITJP
This has not happened with groups outside Sri Lanka even though the victims are abroad too.
