Sri Lanka has now become the Chair of CHOGM, you at the helm. Therefore, the responsibilities are to uphold democracy, human rights, rule of law and independence of the judiciary among other core values of the Commonwealth, of course eradicating the common poverty as you have already emphasised. To come back to the issue of war crime investigations, it might be unreasonable to say that the British Prime Minister was asking Sri Lanka or you to complete the investigations before March 2014. The request was in my opinion was to initiate or appoint an independent commission before March. While it could be a national investigation, it could also incorporate at least few members from the international community at least from the region. It might also be possible to conduct immediate investigations into the alleged killings of Praphakaran’ son, Ramesh and Isaipriya and punish the perpetrators even before March 2013.
