Measures taken/current situation Situation during the visit A/HRC/33/51/Ad d.2 (i) Consider requesting international support for forensic investigations and exhumations as well as for the ensuing investigations and prosecutions, which should be the responsibility of a transitional justice mechanism rather than of the Attorney General’s Department; OMP See response to recommendation 82(f). ICJ According to the interim report of the OMP, the Office had consulted with national and international organisations and experts in order to secure expert knowledge required to perform specialised tasks such as forensics, tracing, excavations, genetics, legal affairs, documentation, database management and archiving. Level of implementation and observations (to be completed by the WGEID) The Working Group notes information from the OMP that existing capacity needs to be strengthened to address the investigative challenges and reiterates the recommendation to consider requesting international support. Paragraph 8 states that the office sought out the experiences, views, learnings and suggestions particularly from international institutions – both State and non-State tasked with similar functions as the OMP. ITJP We have offered our extensive library of photos of corpses from the 2008-9 war to the OMP but there was no response. These pictures could help identify some of the missing and give some families closure. (j) Immediately open archives, including military archives, relevant to cases of enforced disappearance in order to facilitate the localization of undiscovered gravesites and speed up the search for missing persons; Paragraphs 43 44 Government A provision has been made in the draft framework of Truth and Reconciliation Commission giving the commissioners access. The provisions have not been enacted as of yet. In addition to the provisions under the draft TRC framework, an archive is being maintained on all cases referred to the Government of Sri Lanka by the WGEID, and the Office on Missing Persons has been provided access to the same. OMP See response to recommendation 82(a). As the need arises the OMP plans to seek access to relevant military archives, in accordance with its mandate and powers. Amnesty Amnesty International is unaware of new efforts on this front. ICJ The Working Group notes that the OMP has access to all state archives (see response to 79 (e)) and indicates it will seek access to relevant military archives. However, the Working Group regrets that archives that may contain information on the fate and whereabouts of disappeared persons are not public and fully accessible and calls for them to be opened immediately.
