The human rights situation today in Sri Lanka shows a vast difference compared to a few years back. There is no situation in the world where perfection has been achieved in that area. While there will always be aberrations and delinquencies from time to time, it is how the government reacts in those instances that matters. For instance in the case of Krishanthi Kumaraswamy, where nine army and two police officers were allegedly involved in the rape and murder of Krishanthi and her family, the government acted promptly and has indicted the suspects. This sends out a very clear message that the government is not merely paying lip service to these doctrines.
Nobody is today immune from the process of law.
There are no special privileges attached to certain persons. The law will be enforced in all its rigour against anyone who is guilty of criminal behaviour. It is in this way that the government has countered the LTTE's propaganda. Also, the human rights commission is soon to be appointed. People of the highest possible calibre will be appointed as officers.
