The United States will not have any kind of judgement on the report of Sri Lanka's Lesson Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC) until its release that is expected to be in mid-November, the United States said Monday.
Responding to a query on the U.S. State Department's opinion of the LLRC report, the State Department Spokesperson Mark Toner said the U.S. would wait until the report is released to view whether it as sufficient.
QUESTION: Mark, finally, are you waiting for the November 15th report by the Sri Lankan special commission appointed by the president which ambassador mentioned? The report is coming on November 15th, but is – this commission only appointed by the president of Sri Lanka.
MR. TONER: Right, right. You know what, Goyal? I’ll have to look into precisely what our opinion is of this report, whether we view it as sufficient. And frankly, we likely wouldn’t have any kind of judgment until it’s released.
