Measures taken/current situation Situation during the visit A/HRC/33/51/Ad d.2 Level of implementation and observations (to be completed by the WGEID) ITJP Maj Gen Mohanti Peiris was the Legal Director for the Army at the time of the commission of most of the disappearances. Many argue this could give rise to the appearance of a conflict of interest since she would have advised the Army Commander of the time on his response to the allegations regarding for example hundreds of LTTE cadres and their family members (including at least 29 children) who disappeared on/around 18 May 2009 in Army custody. (b) Ensure that the relevant information generated through previous truthseeking mechanisms is adequately compiled and formally analysed as a starting point to determining the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared and supporting the investigation and prosecution of alleged perpetrators; make public and easily accessible all of the reports of previous truth-seeking mechanisms and commissions, including interim reports and other material that had been withheld; Paragraph 32, 44 OMP As stated in response to recommendation 82(a), the OMP has initiated the process of accessing the records of past commissions of inquiry. The OMP acknowledges its duty to avoid re-traumatising and causing distress to families and plans to use information obtained through existing records to implement its mandate including to develop a national database of missing and disappeared persons; trace for missing and disappeared persons; and to facilitate judicial remedies for missing and disappeared persons. The reports of several past commissions of inquiry are publicly available on the website of the Secretariat for Coordinating Reconciliation Mechanisms.78 However, the OMP observes that the final and interim reports of a number of commissions of inquiry are yet to be made publicly available. Amnesty Amnesty International is not aware of any proactive efforts in this regard. ICJ In paragraph 11 of its interim report, the OMP stated that the Office will take on the critical role of compiling the multiple lists of the missing and disappeared from State agencies, commissions and civil society and developing a centralised list for its work and interventions of other agencies and institutions. The OMP in Paragraph 3.23 of its annual report states that it has created a temporary database and has begun the process of consolidating different types of data collected from complaints and the families of the missing and disappeared. According to the Chairperson of the OMP, the Office has also requested the Director General of the Department of National Archives to grant access to the relevant records on missing 78 See Secretariat for Coordinating Reconciliation Mechanisms <https://www.scrm.gov.lk/documents-reports accessed> (accessed 29 May 2019). The Working Group welcomes information according to which the OMP is in the process of compiling records from past commissions. It regrets information according to which a number of final and interim reports of commissions of inquiry are yet to be made publicly available and calls for them to be published without delay.
