The United States have reiterated their demand for Sri Lanka to take ‘concrete steps’ on reconciliation.
State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said Sri Lanka had not attempted to implement any of the LLRC report’s recommendations.
"To date, frankly, we've not seen a detailed action plan from the government of Sri Lanka on how it's going to implement these recommendations," Toner told reporters.
"We still encourage the government of Sri Lanka to move forward, to take concrete steps on this implementation plan,"
"At the same time, we're working with our partners in Geneva on a resolution within the UNHRC that calls for actions on important steps toward reconciliation."

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.
Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view
