Governance structures for internal displacement 2015, para. 91
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In Sri Lanka, the Commission of Inquiry on Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation was established in 2010. Its final report, published in 2011, contains chapters focusing specifically on internally displaced persons. The Commission acknowledged that without medium- and long-term durable solutions for internally displaced persons, a sustainable and all-inclusive reconciliation process could not be achieved. During his visit to Sri Lanka in December 2013, the Special Rapporteur supported the conclusion of the Commission and its recommendation that a uniform State policy be adopted aimed at the resettlement of internally displaced persons and/or integrating them into host communities, reiterating the need to raise awareness among internally displaced persons about the options available to them and to respect their final decision (A/HRC/26/33/Add.4).
