Sri Lanka''s Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission tabled its  report in the national Parliament yesterday, and Mr. Ban welcomed the  public release of the report, according to information released by his  spokesperson last night. The spokesperson said Mr. Ban hopes the Government will forward with its  accountability commitments in good faith as an essential step towards  reconciliation and lasting peace in the island country. Sri Lankan Government forces declared victory over the rebel Liberation  Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009 after a conflict that had raged on  and off for nearly three decades and killed thousands of people. The  conflict ended with large numbers of Sri Lankans living as internally  displaced persons (IDPs), especially in the country''s north. Earlier this year Mr. Ban forwarded a report by a three-member United  Nations panel of experts on accountability issues during the civil war  to the Human Rights Council and the Office of the High Commissioner for  Human Rights (OHCHR). The panel found there were credible reports that both Government forces  and the LTTE committed war crimes during the war''s final months. It  recommended that the Government respond to the allegations by initiating  an effective accountability process starting with genuine  investigations.<a href="http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=40767" target="_blank">UN news</a></blockquote>
