Recommendations A/HRC/33/51/Add.2 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) excavation and/or exhumation of suspected grave sites, and to act as an observer at such excavation or exhumation, and any other proceeding, pursuant to the same’. OMP As the OMP reviews existing information relating to missing persons, the OMP is developing a list of possible and suspected grave sites, including mass grave sites. Further the OMP has initiated a process to identify suspected grave sites that may fall outside of its mandate including the grave sites where persons were buried following natural disasters. Amnesty Amnesty International is unaware of new efforts on this front. ICJ The Chairperson of the OMP stated that the Office is currently engaged in examining two potential mass graves, however the details of it remains classified. However, the interim report of the OMP noted that it has been informed of the fact that specific sites vital evidence— including human remains, found during construction, agricultural work, excavation and other activities—is not being reported to the police and relevant authorities. ITJP Not happened – The ITJP has details from insider witnesses and victims of where some bodies are buried and have offered to discuss this with the OMP who did not respond. Government The Department of Government Analyst has taken necessary steps to ensure and to maintain higher standards in respective testing done by them. OMP 61 Sri Lanka currently has professional and highly skilled Judicial Medical Officers and forensic pathologists who routinely conduct criminal investigations into human remains. However, the OMP is of the view that existing capacity needs to be strengthened to address the specific challenges of investigating systemic, large scale enforced disappearances that can involve the examination and identification of human remains that may be partially or completely skeletonised, commingled, burned with possible signs of peri-mortem trauma. For this end The Working Group regrets that a special unit has yet to be established and encourages its creation without delay as well as further efforts to reinforce forensics capacities including for DNA testing and forensic anthropology and archaeology. A/HRC/42/40/Add.1 (f) Establish a professionally skilled special unit to probe into the locations of other possible mass graves, reinforce the forensic capacity of the judiciary and ensure that it has adequate resources, including for DNA testing
