HUMAN RIGHT COMMISSION OF SRI LANKA - Annual report 2020 Organizations, and Asia Pacific Regional National Human Rights Institutions. The website of the Commission is updated regularly (33 updates in 2020) which therefore is a reliable source of up to date information about the HRCSL. The Commission also uses the Asia Pacific Forum’s (APF) bulletin to disseminate its work to a wider audience in the region and globally. 5.4. Engagement with civil society The Commission, especially via the Regional Offices, engages closely with civil society. It views civil society as a great resource, which enriches the work of the Commission, while the Commission in turn contributes to the work of civil society on human rights. 5.4.1 Regional civil society coordinating committees The close cooperation fostered by the Commission through the civil society coordinating committees at regional level assists the Commission in identifying human rights violations or situations warranting the intervention of the Commission. These coordinating committees also assist the Commission in monitoring the protection of human rights in the regions. In 2020, the Commission continued to facilitate these meetings. 5.4.2 Community Task forces for Human Rights (CTF4HR) The Community Task forces for Human Rights established by the Regional Offices of the HRCSL to facilitate communities to protect their rights at the grass-root level and agitate against any violations of these rights were active during 2020. The members of the CTF4HR comprise volunteer members of the community who indicated an interest to work with the Commission. The task forces act as a conduit between the Commission and the communities, enabling timely interventions in situations of rights violations which are brought to the attention of the Commission by CTF4HR members. 79
