The official version of the report published by the panel constituted by the UN Secretary General to look into issues of accountability in Sri Lanka was released on 26th April 2011. It is highly unlikely the UN itself will produce Sinhala and Tamil translations of the report. Given the near complete absence of reporting in Sinhala media over the issues flagged in the UN Panel’s report, readers have only got to read commentary based on sections of the report, which is almost always virulently in opposition with very little reasoned debate. Groundviews through Vikalpa commissioned a translation of the Executive Summary of the official version of the report. We received another translation done by a third party today. We also received today a translation of the report into Tamil. We give below links to the three documents – two in Sinhala and one in Tamil.
The translation into Sinhala published on Vikalpa can be read online here. Read it below without having to install Sinhala fonts.
Read the translation into Tamil we were emailed and done by a third party as a PDF here. The same third party emailed us a translation of the Executive Summary into Sinhala. You can also read them online below without having any vernacular fonts on your PC.
