ICJ
A resettlement policy specifically targeting victims of enforced disappearance has not been
put in place.
The National Involuntary Resettlement Policy is yet to be adopted into legislation.
Implementing agencies are not obliged to apply the principles enshrined in the NIRP.
Therefore, affected persons are unable to rely on the NIRP principles, as a matter of right, in
case their land is being acquired. Full compliance requires the government to amend the
existing laws.115

h) There is a clear division according to ethnicity. South racists oppose doing anything for the
Tamils.
ICJ
The Working Group welcomes
that the principle of nondiscrimination was included in
the Office for Reparation Act. It
notes information received that
there continues to be concerns
regarding distinctions based on
ethnicity and calls on the
government to take steps to
ensure all victims receive equal
attention with regards to
memorials and reparations.
