In apartheid South Africa, if a black person was abused by a white person to the extent that black person died, the death was treated as a non event because any black person was considered a non person with no rights and was militarily oppressed.
The LLRC report exhibits a similar attitude by the Sinhalese against the Tamils of Tamil Eeelam(TE). The same attitude is also shown by any colonial master towards the inhabitants of his colony.
By presenting the report, the GOSL is attempting to retrench the international support and sympathy the people of TE do have, to receive justice for the war crimes and genocide committed by SL.

Truth and justice are indivisible. Lessons can only be learnt from the established truth and justice. The LLRC was not trying to establish either the truth or justice. Seeking the truth and justice on Tamil matters is a “foreigner” to the Sinhalese. In SL the truth is often subordinated to racist electioneering platforms both by the SLFP and the UNP since 1958.
In many liberation movements, repression, economic factors, injustice and land grabbing were the major push factors that drove people to take upto arms. The push factors were the same for the people of TE, yet, the LLRC has not learnt that aspect during its sittings.
Tamil leaders have more than six decades of sound experience on the political cheating, lying, trikery and evading psyche of their colonial masters.
