Most of the LLRC recommendations' have been addressed says Sri Lanka

Apparently - according to Sri Lanka’s Human Rights Commission Chief Pratiba Mahanamathe who in turn quoted the presidential secretary - "most" of the LLRC recommendations had been addressed.

Speaking to Daily Mirror, Mahanamathe added, "there is time till March, next year to look into other areas where there is concern."

One concern he said, was India's inclusion as one of the three countries, along with Spain and Benin, assigned the role of carrying out the assessment of Sri Lanka's human rights situation at the UPR (Universal Periodic Review) later this month, as India 'voted against Sri Lanka'.
