The OHCHR Investigation on Sri Lanka on alleged human rights violations has now commenced to obtain witness statements.
The process will be continued till 30 October.
“Individuals, organisations and governments are invited to submit information and/or documentation on alleged violations and abuses of human rights and related crimes allegedly perpetrated from 21 February 2002 until 15 November 2011 in Sri Lanka by either of the parties to the armed conflict. This is to allow the investigation team time to analyse all the information gathered before drafting its report. Drafting needs to be completed at least two months before the report is presented to the HRC in March.
Submissions may be in English, Sinhala and Tamil. They must not exceed 10 pages. Should the OISL require additional information, it will contact the author(s) of the submission.
Any video, audio or photographic material related to the submissions should not be submitted via email. Contact the OISL to make arrangements to send it by alternative means,” an instruction letter issued by the OHCHR on this regard says.
