Informal
Dispute Resolution in the North East and Puttalam
 Informal
dispute resolution seemingly offers many advantages over formal
means of redress. In particular, it is more flexible than
the judicial system and can tackle issues which may be addressed
by formal mechanisms.
This
study, commissioned under UNHCR's 'Peaceful Co-existence Initiative',
was conceived to identify existing mediation and informal
dispute resolution mechanism at the local level, which may
assist in the reintegration and reconciliation of local communities.

A
Collection of Views on the Peace Process - in Sinhala
These
articles are unique for their representation of unity in
diversity of the subject matter. In this collection of articles
you come across many prominent scholars in the country.
The diversity of this collection of articles itself amply
demonstrates that the peace building process in Sri Lanka
does not move in a straight line and instead it traverses
a much contorted and complicated terrain.
On
the other hand these articles shows that assisting in peace
building does not mean an unconditional agreement for it
but a peace process also should be able to incorporate a
variety of critical view into it.
