Three new Presidential Commissions to commence operations next month

Operations of three new Presidential Commissions of Inquiry (PCoI) are scheduled to commence in April.

Accordingly, the PCoI to submit recommendations on streamlining Sri Lanka Customs, PCoI probing alleged human rights violations, serious violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and other such offences in Sri Lanka as well as the PCoI to implement the recommendations of the Presidential Commission which probed alleged incidents of political victimization are set to kick off their operations next month.

Although members were appointed to these commissions, they are yet to commence recording evidence.

However, the PCoI to look into alleged human rights violations has started to accept complaints. Accordingly, the general public can direct their complaints to the Commission until the 2nd of April.
