Copy paste from wikipedia, so might not be 100% accurate, if these recommendations are controversial the government should have appointed "suitable" persons who would have come up with a list of recommendations that could have been implemented.
-Further investigations should be carried out regarding four particular incidents which caused death or injury to civilians, on possible implication of the security forces.
- Necessary investigations should be carried out into specific allegations of disappearances after surrender/arrest, and where such investigations produce evidence of any unlawful act on the part of individual members of the Army, the wrongdoers should be prosecuted and punished.
- Take due account on surrendered LTTE cadres against whom investigations reveal prima facie material for prosecution.
- IHL regime should take into account the grey areas in the existing legal framework applicable to internal conflicts involving states and non state armed groups.
-A professionally designed household survey should be conducted covering all affected families in all parts of the island to ascertain firsthand the scale and the circumstances of death and injury to civilians, as well as damage to property during the period of the conflict.
- Institute an independent investigation into Channel 4 videos.
- A special commissioner should be appointed to investigate alleged disappearances and provide material to the Attorney general to initiate criminal proceedings as appropriate.
- Death certificates should be issued and monetary recompense should be provided where necessary. Steps should be taken to effectively implement the amendment to the Registration of Deaths Act (2006).
- Appoint an independent advisory committee to monitor and examine detention and arrest of persons under any regulations made under the Public Security Ordinance or the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA).
- Domestic legislation should be framed to specifically criminalize enforced or involuntary disappearances.
-Prepare a centralized and comprehensive database containing a list of detainees and make that available to their next of kin.
-All illegal armed groups should be disarmed.
-Grant the legal ownership of land to those who have been resettled.
- In instances where there is prima facie evidence of conscription of children as combatants (by both LTTE and TMVP), any such alleged cases should be investigated and offenders must be brought to justice.
- Increased employment opportunities should be provided to those in the former conflict affected areas.
- An inter-agency task force mandated to addressing the needs of vulnerable groups like women, children, elderly and disabled, must be established.
- Investigate and inquire into alleged incidents of serious violations of human rights including the 2006 Trincomalee massacre and the 2006 massacre of 17 aid workers.
-The land policy of the governments should not be an instrument to effect unnatural changes in the demographic pattern of a given province.
- A National Land Commission (NLC) should be established in order to propose appropriate future national land policy guidelines.
- All political parties should arrive at a bipartisan understanding on national land policy and recognize it as a national issue. Land policy should not be used as a tool to gain narrow political advantage.
-The role and capacity of the Rehabilitation of Persons, Properties and Industries Authority (REPPIA) should be reviewed, giving its primary focus in providing compensatory relief for persons affected by the conflict. Ex-LTTE combatants and next of kin should also be considered eligible for compensatory relief.
- Involvement of the security forces in civilian activities in North Eastern Province should be phased out. Private lands should be used giving reasonable time lines.
- A proper investigation should be carried out on the alleged involvement of Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias Karuna Amman and Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan alias Pillayan in the 1990 massacre of Sri Lankan Police officers.
-A full investigation should be done on the alleged acts of extortion committed by members of the Eelam People's Democratic Party (EPDP).
-Steps should be taken to neutralise the activities of a gang led by a person called Major Seelan in connection with offences of abduction, extortion and robbery using the security forces facilities as a cover.
-Units of the Attorney General's department should be set up in the provinces to guide and advise the Police regarding criminal investigations, prosecutions and other matters touching upon the criminal justice system.
-An independent Public Service Commission should be established without delay to ensure that there is no political interference in the public service.
- A good-faith effort should be taken to develop a consensus on power devolution, building on what exists – both, for maximum possible devolution to the periphery, as well as power sharing at the centre.
-Learning of each other's languages should be made a compulsory part of the school curriculum.
-All Government offices should have Tamil-speaking officers at all times. Police Stations should have bi-lingual officers on a 24-hour basis.
-A proactive policy should be implemented to encourage mixed schools serving children from different ethnic and religious backgrounds.
- Government should engage with the so-called 'hostile diaspora groups' constructively and address their concerns.
-National anthem should be sung simultaneously in two languages to the same tune.
-Laws should be strictly enforced on the instances of hate speech that contributes to communal disharmony.
- A separate event should be set apart on the National Day (4 February) to express solidarity and empathy with all victims of the tragic conflict and pledge the collective commitment to ensure that there should never be such blood-letting in the country again.
