Continued militarisation' and 'culture of fear' persist in North-East - The Social Architects

An investigation carried out by a social research and advocacy group based in the North East, The Social Architects (TSA), concluded that there were significant concerns in relation to ‘continued militarisation, the concomitant culture of fear which pervades the North and East and the asymmetrical implementation of the LLRC recommendations.”

The Social Architect report, 'Reevaluating Sri Lanka's LLRC Progress:part1', looked into progress made in implementing recommendations from Sri Lanka’s Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC), by conducting surveys that questioned 1043 people across the North-East.


Analysis of survey findings revealed that there were several concerns over the lack of progress relating to matters such as political rights, language rights, inclusive development and compensation aspects of the recommendations from the LLRC recommendations.

The TSA will delve further into the survey findings in the next part of their report.
