Message: <blockquote data-quote="lkdood" data-source="post: 11155605" data-attributes="member: 92282">The Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) today confirmed  that the commission’s report would be completed and handed over to  President Mahinda Rajapaksa in the second week of November prior to the  reports due date.“The commission is in the process of fine-tuning and making certain  adjustments to the report. We will complete the final draft by the  second week of November,” LLRC spokesman Lakshman Wickremasinghe said. Mr. Wickremasinghe said the contents of the LLRC report would not be  revealed until the report was released next month in order to keep with  constitutional requirements. The government had stated that it would address war crimes allegations  made against Sri Lanka after the LLRC report was released. Meanwhile  there has been pressure from the international community to discuss the  LLRC report at the UN Human Rights Council sessions in March next year. The final date for the report was November 15. The mandate of the LLRC  was to investigate and report on the circumstances which led to the  failure of the ceasefire agreement in 2002 and events that followed  thereafter up to May 2009. The commission’s purpose was also to determine whether any individual or  institution directly or indirectly was responsible in this regard and  to highlight the lessons learnt from these events and to ensure that  there would be no recurrence. The mandate of the LLRC was also to support administrative and  legislative measures to prevent any repetition of such concerns in the  future and to promote national unity and reconciliation among all  communities. The LLRC began its hearings in August 2010 until February 2011 during  which time submissions were made to the commission by academics,  politicians, clergy, humanitarian organisations and other well wishers  in Colombo and in the Northern parts of the country.
