Last week the Commission on Missing Persons (Maxwell Paranagama Commission) had issued a clarification regarding the recommendations made in its report. They had explained that they had not proposed foreign judges and that the misconception that they had done so was due to the commission ‘reviewing’ measures taken in other countries before proposing a specific mechanism for Sri Lanka and that what they had actually proposed was a mechanism without foreign judges, foreign investigators or foreign prosecutors. This would need some further clarification in the light of what was written in this column last week.
