Paranagama Commission recommends Gambian model war crimes probe
The Paranagama Commission on Missing Persons has recommended the Gambian model to try war crimes under the Sri Lankan judicial system. Calling the Gambian model a “successful experiment”, the Commission pointed out that a court, known as Special Division of the Supreme Court of Gambia, was set up in 1981 following an upheaval in which many died. It included judges from the Commonwealth. “This was a court that met both national and international concerns.” In the event of Sri Lanka establishing a “purely domestic tribunal” without the participation of foreign judges, the panel opined that “there should be international technical assistance and observer”. It called for making core crimes applicable in “non-international armed conflicts” part of Sri Lankan law. Otherwise, there could be “no effective domestic mechanism”. (The Hindu)
