Abstract:
Many attempts have been made to resolve the ethnic problem in Sri Lanka. When all such efforts failed, a war was waged against the armed conflict that had raged in North-East Sri Lanka for over thirty years. One such war ended in 2009. But the solution to the ethnic problem was not possible. A reconciliation mechanism was set up to resolve the resulting crises. Such a reconciliation mechanism has reached a point of failure. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the reasons for the failure of the Sri Lanka Island Reconciliation Mechanism. To find out, this study uses descriptive research methods. Based on such experiences, the study also makes proposals for possible reconciliation mechanisms
