lpv:spoken text	"It is over four years since the civil war in Sri Lanka came to an end but we are reminded of how difficult the reconciliation process can be after such a lengthy period of conflict. Whilst there are areas of great concern in terms of the situation in Sri Lanka, I think it is worth taking time to highlight some of the more positive aspects first. September of this year saw the first elections of the Provincial Council in the Northern Province for instance. The announcement a month before of a Presidential Commission of Inquiry to investigate the disappearances between 1990 and 2010 is also to be welcomed. This should complement the findings and work of the LLRC published in 2011. It is therefore regretful that this progress is overshadowed by the continued reports of human rights abuses, which include reports of extrajudicial killings, torture and threats to the independence of judiciary by the security forces. Todayʼs resolution has echoed the calls of the UK Prime Minister for the Sri Lankan authorities to carry out an investigation into alleged war crimes, crucially, might I add, with a deadline of March 2014. This is a call that the ECR supports."@en1
