Several initiatives have already been taken to implement the recommendations of the final report of the Presidential Commission of Inquiry into political victimization (the CoI) including the obtaining of Cabinet approval, the establishment of a Special Commission of Inquiry and a resolution tabled in Parliament. While Commissions of Inquiry have played a recurring role in distracting attention away from established mechanisms for justice and accountability in the past, the haste with which the recommendations of the present Commission are intended to be implemented is a cause for concern and may have grave implications for the independence of the judiciary, the rule of law and democracy in Sri Lanka.

Colombo, April 23 (www.counterpoint.lk): The miracle of Shenzen inspired governments globally to find ways and means out of adverse situations that plague countries in terms of their economic performance, especially in the post-second world war era.
Shenzen was well-regarded the world over as the most judicious and prudent way of experimenting with fundamental economic reforms the Chinese leaders wanted to introduce to the country s economic structure.
It was more of a litmus test of how market reforms such as liberalisation of the economy works within the global economic context.
The man behind the Shenzen success story was Chairman Deng Xiaoping. The story of Shenzen began in May 1980 and spread its wings rapidly across various parts of China, making dramatic and dynamic changes in that country s economic growth story.
