HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION OF SRI LANKA, Annual Report 2018 Existing staff of the Commission too need further capacity development on knowledge base and skills in order to contribute to the work of the Commission efficiently and effectively. Another major setback was administrative difficulties encountered due to archaic administrative and financial regulations in the public sector and lack of innovative administrative solutions to address these drawbacks. Further, despite the establishment of the non-implementation unit of the I&I division which followed up on implementation of HRCSL recommendations, non-compliance by public officials of a considerable percentage of recommendations was a perennial concern. This adversely impacted the Commission in fully realizing its mandate to protect human rights. The Commission remained committed to its position that seeking an amendment to the parent Act in order to have its recommendations implemented by the courts was not the solution to non-implementation as it would burden the parties with legal fees and protracted delays. In the Commission’s view seeking disciplinary action against errant officials was the best method of ensuring compliance. 35
