N2 - The International Crimes Evidence Project (ICEP), a project of PIAC, was established to conduct objective, independent investigations into serious alleged violations of international law in the Asia-Pacific region. ICEP has recently undertaken an investigation into alleged war crimes and other breaches of international law committed during the final months of the Sri Lankan civil war in 2008-2009. ICEP aims to contribute to accountability for violations of international law and achieving justice for victims of alleged crimes committed during the civil war. ICEP’s investigation is independent and impartial. ICEP’s work has been guided by its Committee of Experts, comprising some of the world’s leading experts on international criminal law and war crimes investigations. A 2013 UN Human Rights Council (HRC) resolution required the Sri Lankan Government to report back to the HRC on its alleged violations of international law by March 2014. ICEP prepared a report to assist UN HRC member states in their consideration of the final stages of the civil war and post-conflict accountability and justice.
