Steady implementation of LLRC recommendations
I am honoured and privileged to be able to once
again share with this august body, Sri Lanka's experience in
promoting and protecting the human rights of its people, in
accordance with universally accepted standards. In the two years and
nine months since the end of the armed conflict against terrorism
and the onset of peace, Sri Lanka has made significant progress
towards recovery and achieving reconciliation, by incrementally
overcoming many challenges posed to the nation and its people by
almost 30 years of conflict. The rollback and eventual abolition of
emergency regulations in August 2011, in tandem with the gradual
improvement in the country's law and order situation in the
post-conflict phase, has led to further consolidation of peace. It
has also demonstrated to the world Sri Lanka's genuine aspiration in
its approach to achieving a peace that is stable and sustainable.
