Abstract:
The United Nations policy of opposing amnesties for war crimes,
crimes against humanity, genocide or gross violations of human rights,
including in the context of peace negotiations, represents an important
evolution, grounded in long experience. Capacity development is
fundamental to the broader objective of transforming fragile states into
stable nations. A growing body of research on these issues is emerging,
pointing to the lessons that have been learned in recent years. UNDP
supports capacity development initiatives of national governments, civil
society organizations, independent national and regional institutions and
other stakeholders through advocacy, policy advisory and implementation
services. With this background this paper tries to analyses the UNDP role in
post–conflict reconstruction in Sri Lanka after the Eelam war IV and also
analysing findings and formulating capacity development responses in Sri
Lanka.
