A Government-appointed panel tasked with investigating the final years of Sri Lanka's civil war opened in Colombo on August 11, reports Colombo Page. The eight-member panel will hear testimony on five separate days in the capital and two days in Vavuniya, near the former war zone. The probe is expected to focus on why a 2002 truce between the Government and Liberation of Tigers Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels collapsed and led to more fighting. The President's office said the panel has also been asked to recommend measures to ensure that Sri Lanka does not return to conflict. Sri Lanka has rejected a separate United Nations (UN) probe into alleged rights abuses during the final stages of the war, which ended with Government troops defeating the LTTE in May 2009. Though the UN has said that at least 7,000 ethnic Tamil civilians were killed in the last four months of fighting Sri Lanka insisted that no civilians were killed while its forces were vanquishing the rebels, and that it will not allow the UN or any other independent body to probe war crimes allegations.
