The International Committee of the Red Cross in a report released on Tuesday called on Sir Lankan authorities to “consolidate a national list of missing persons.”
“Living With uncertainty: Needs of The Families of Missing Persons in Sri Lanka,” outlined the findings of a Families’ Needs Assessments over the course of a year, and consisted of 395 semi structured interviews, 17 focus-group discussions in 11 different districts and meetings with stakeholders including government agencies.
The report found that 38% of the disappearances recorded happened between 2007 and 2009.
During their interviews, the ICRC found strong calls for justice, acknowledgment by the government and a memorialisation process that was led by families of the disappeared.
