The U.S. State Department spokesman Assistant Secretary Philip J. Crowley emphasized that the Government of Sri Lanka now has all the authorities that it needs to lead Sri Lanka towards a future that involves reintegration of its various communities and moving ahead in a way that is in the interest of all of the people of Sri Lanka.
He made this statement during a press briefing on October 29 in response to a question posed by journalists.Recently approval was granted by the Cabinet to set up an Inter-Agency Advisory Group (IAAG) to facilitate the early implementation of the interim recommendations by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC).
This independent Commission was established to support the drive towards Sri Lanka's national unity and reconciliation. The independent eight-person Commission brings together eminent individuals representing all of Sri Lanka’s communities.
Its conclusions will be drawn from the experiences and observations of the Tamil, Sinhalese and Muslim people, who have been affected by the conflict during the past 30 years.
