I think the most obvious problems with the LLRC were the composition of the body itself and its mandate, which was limited.
I think the surprising thing was that actually it provided an opportunity for many witnesses to come forward and demand information about where their disappeared family members were, for example. Some of the truth seeped out through the testimony. I think many of the recommendations in terms of human rights improvements were sensible, and there were positive recommendations that, if implemented, would have made a much better Sri Lanka.
Where it failed, of course, was holding anyone accountable for war crimes. It exonerated the army, as did a later military inquiry. We're told, according to the military press release, it exonerated the army, but we don't actually know if anyone's actually read that report. It has remained secret. Nobody has a copy, as far as I'm aware.
The glass is half full and half empty. If you take it as half full, the LLRC, if it had been implemented, would have prevented many of the things that are going on now. Clearly it hasn't been properly implemented, and the degree to which it's been implemented is constantly argued over. If you can see these sorts of appalling ongoing crimes continuing, and we're now getting enough evidence coming out of the country of that, then clearly it hasn't been implemented.
