Twenty Years of Make-Believe. Sri Lanka’s Commissions of Inquiry
Amnesty International
2009, June, Amnesty International:
Este informe es una evaluación realizada por Amnistía Internacional a las Comisiones de Investigación en Sri Lanka. “In Sri Lanka, Commissions of Inquiry have not performed successfully, and the formal justice system is in tatters. Serious human rights violations (including torture, arbitrary arrest and detention, and violations of the right to life) continue to be committed, and perpetrators continue to be protected from prosecution by a government that is more concerned with pleasing its narrow political constituency than in protecting the citizens’ human rights and ensuring equal access to justice”
