Sri Lanka will make public its report into the end of the civil war with the Tamil Tigers, the foreign minister said on Tuesday, seeking to allay concerns in the West, which has in the past pushed for an international probe into war crimes allegations.
Seven diplomats, from Western nations, India and others, have told Reuters that a credible report by the Lessons Learned and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) would, in conjunction with political concessions to minority Tamils, obviate the need for an outside inquiry.
Sri Lankan External Affairs Minister G.L. Peiris said the LLRC's findings, due to be presented to President Mahinda Rajapaksa on Nov. 15, would be released, although he did not give a timeframe.
