This ministry abled to securely look after the internally displaced people and prestigiously resettle 97% of them and I am happy to be a partner of that task. The significant challenge of this Ministry subsequently to the resettlement of displaced people was to accelerate the development activities in North East areas which were destroyed more than 30 years of period. Accordingly, within year 2016 the Ministry has pursue action to implement development programs with the intention of strengthening the economic, social, religious and personnel background. Therefor the ministry had competence to development be happen in all those sectors and then the twilight of development is fallen not only to south but also to the North and East. Number of programs were implemented within this year to uplift the living condition and future betterment of all resettled persons and it made them as partners of national economy and their future expectations also strengthen. In an era where internally displaced people in other countries are living in welfare centers for number of years, it is commendable to resettle 882,823 persons within a short period. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for the Honorable D.M. Swaminathan the Minister for his guidance, Secretary and staff for their collective effort to complete the responsibility and further expect the support of you all to continue the role of this Ministry in forthcoming years.

The Ministry has taken action to implement recommendations of Learnt Lessons Reconciliation Commission relevant to resettlement of displaced people due to the conflict situation prevailed over three decades in their origins or alternative places. Accordingly, as per the section 9.147 of that report; “The Commission notes with regret that the land issues and livelihood issues of some families living in the former Threatened Villages, especially families whose bread-winners were killed in LTTE attacks or were forced to be ‘night-displaced’ for family security, remains largely forgotten and unaddressed. Up to the time of compiling the Report, the Commission did not receive adequate information on the current situation of these families, a considerable proportion of whom are presumed to be headed by females, grandparents, older siblings, and single fathers. The Commission recommends that a focal agency be designated to study the special nature of problems and displacement of families in former Threatened Villages, with a view to designing a special mechanism to resolve their current problems expeditiously, as they lack the political patronage or power to influence the existing governmental administrative machinery as well as the evolving national post-conflict development agenda.”

Prison commenced as a result of the judicial reforms introduced by Cameron who
governed Sri Lanka in British Era in 1832. Welikada Prison was established compatible
with British Borstal System in terms of the Legal and Court Ordinance No.18 of 1844.
By the Prison Act No.16 of 1877, this service was structured and regulated under a
separate department directly under control of the Commissioner of Prisons with the
effect from 16th
July, 1905. With development of the society, this service turn out to be

Today, the prison evolved this way, has become an essential and specific institute
before the complexity of present day society.
Accordingly, prison system consists of 3 closed prisons, 19 remand prisons, 2
correction centers for youthful offenders, 2 work camps, 2 open prison camps, 20
prison lockups ana 1 prison school are under the supervision of Superintendents of
Prisons. There are about 19,000 convicted and remand prisoners under their care and
rehabilitation.
Our Motto - Custody, Care and Correction
Vision - Social reintegration of inmates as good citizens through rehabilitation.

The community based corrections system started as a pilot project under the Ministry of
Justice in Sri Lanka in 1999, of Community Based Corrections Act No 46 1999 was
implemented and the Community Based system was started with 3 courts as a pilot project. In
2008 it became a department under the Ministry of Justice. This program is being
implemented island wide in 125 magistrate and circuit courts. In the regional community
based corrections offices, the officers conduct various rehabilitation programs. Through
directing minor offenders into community Based Corrections, it helps to reduce overcrowding
in the prisons and cost incurred in maintenance of prisoners. When an offender is imprisoned,
the prisoner is exposed to further contamination by association with hard-core criminals and
is likely to cultivate further anti-social attitudes. By giving a minor offender a community
corrections order, the aim is to free a person from wrong habits and make him a respectable
citizen of the country through an effective correctional process while keeping him in the
society.
Not only offenders, but also people who might become offenders should be taken into the
correct path. Because of this, the department has been giving attention on this task and now
the duties have been expanded. To fulfill these duties development officers have been
appointed island wide under the divisional secretariats office.
Vision
“Make minor offenders and persons those who are likely to commit offences, into
righteous citizens."
Mission
"Development of economic, social and spiritual spheres of minor offenders and
persons those who are likely to commit offences, by implementing a productive
correctional process, with a necessary

1. Introduction
1.1 Today Sri Lanka has been successful in accomplishing the great task of
socially reintegrating the misguided children and youth due to war that
brutally engulfed the whole of Sri Lanka over a period of three decades
where grusome battle field confrontations and acts of terrorism were in
prevalence, after having them rehabilitated to become useful
individuals with positive attitudes. This process of rehabilitation was
able to salvage the innocent child soldiers who were used by the
fighter outfits for their separatist motives and terror acts with incessant
violation of international laws and give them back the childhood that
was denied from them with new lease of life through love, affection
and kindness amidst protection. Even though many countries in the
world have embarked on programmes for socially reintergrating
misguided individuals owing to warfare such as this, the rehabilitation
process in Sri Lanka was a uniquely outstanding one over all of such
processes in tandem with internationally recognized standards.
1.2 The referral of more than 12,000 persons who were lined up for
rehabilitation at one stretch at the end of the war readily went into gear
within a very short period of time in the form of a process of
rehabilitation unique to Sri Lanka with adherence to relevant overall
norms. In order to prepare the legal framework required for this
purpose in such a manner as to safeguard and ensure the protection of
the human rights of the misguided combatants the Gazette
Extraordinary No: 1462/08 of 2006 and the Gazette Extraordinary No:
1580/05 of 2008 meant exclusively for the misguided child soldiers
under 18 years of age and the Gazette Extraordinary No: 1721/05 of
2011 as well were published.
1.3 Accordingly it has been able to rescue all misguided ex - combatants
from the figter outfits in Sri Lanka and reintegrate them into the
society as useful individuals after having them unarmed and
inculcated,developed with optimistic attitudes, with qualities of skills
and leadership through a successful programme of rehabilitation.

Beneficiaries in each district. Such offices consist of particulars with
regard to rehabilitiees reintegrated as of now numbering 12,169 and
arrangements were made by this Bureau to see to the provision of their
needs.
1.5 Moreover, as it stands to the date the subjugation of the exuberance of
the children and youth that can be employed to strengthen the
country’s economy to the narcotic drugs menace has become a grave
problem for the citizen of Sri Lanka. Bureau of the Commissioner
General of Rehabilitation taking the situation into consideration was
instrumental in setting up of the Kandakadu Treatment and
Rehabilitation Centreon 20.08.2013 for the purpose of caring for and
rehabilitating the drug addicts under the provisions of the Drug Addicts
Treatment and Rehabilitation Act, No: 54 of 2007.
1.6 As at now 1,820 persons comprising imprisoned offenders on counts of
the use, possession and sale of drugs and those who were under
rehabilitation in the treatment centres at different locations by then
have now been transferred to the Kandakadu Treatment and
Rehabilitation Centre for continued rehabilitation .
1.7 Rehabilitees were going through carefully selected process of
Rehabilitation with training seeing to their basic needs of spiritual,
counseling, educational and vocational aspects in accordance with a
scheduled programme and the required groundwork to expose them to
the job opportunities following their reintegration in the society has

4.7.1. Introduction
Sri Lanka’s national mine action programme started in 2002 with the assistance of
UNDP, UNICEF, international NGOs (INGOs), national NGOs and several donors. Its
stated goal was to create an environment free of mine and explosive remnants of
war (ERW), in support of the GoSL’s resettlement and development initiatives.
The National Mine Action Programme operates under the leadership of the National
Steering Committee on Mine Action (NSCMA), chaired by Secretary of the Ministry of
Prison Reforms, Rehabilitation, Resettlement and Hindu Religious Affairs . The
National Mine Action Centre (NMAC) was officially established in July 2010 and is the
implementing arm of the NSCMA and the focal point for coordination all mine action
activities on the ground. At present the NMAC has been assigned to the Ministry of
Prison Reforms, Rehabilitation, Resettlement and Hindu Religious Affairs by the
Cabinet decision with effect from 18 March 2015.
4.7.2. Background
During the three decade aged civil conflict, Sri Lanka has experienced that varied
kinds of explosives including land mines of Anti Personal, Anti-Tank, Unexploded
Ordnances (UXO), etc.
There is currently no legislation that addresses mines/ERW. The Government of Sri
Lanka is using Emergency Regulation No. 34 amended in the Gazette Extraordinary
No. 1651/24 dated 02 May 2010 as an interim measure to address this issue.
As per the initial survey carried out by the National Mine Action Programme through Information Management System for Mine Action (IMSMA) it is estimated that there may be about one million land mines and UXOs in the abandoned battle fields. In addition, it was estimated that 6,215 Km2 of land area is contaminated with mines and UXOs. 4,157 Km2 have been identified as safe areas out of the total estimated contaminated areas and the other balance of 2,064 Km2 were confirmed as a suspected hazardous areas by Non-Technical Survey (NTS).
4.7.3. Current Capacity
Year 2016 four (4) mine clearing organizations are conducting mine clearance activities in Sri Lanka with the generous cooperation of the donor community. They are Sri Lanka Army (SLA) Humanitaian De-mining Unit (SLAHDU), Halo Trust, Mines Advisory Group (MAG) and Delvon Assistance for Social Harmony (DASH). Several other national MRE organizations are in operation on mine risk education under the UNICEF.

4.7.4. Land Clearance Progress
According to the Information Management
System on Mine Action (IMSMA) the total
land released from 2002 to end of June
2016 is 1,226,222,087M2 (1226.22 Km2).
This has been achieved by deploying two
methods, Battle Area Clearance
1,094,559,140 M2 (1094.55 Km2) and Mine
Field Clearance 131,662,947M2
(131.66Km2). In addition, 964,714,002 M2
(964.71Km2) land area was released
through the survey. Accordingly, the total land area cleared since 2002 to end of June 2016
is 2,190,936,089M2, (2190.93 Km2) while 1,187,630 devices have been recovered (Anti
Personal, Anti-Tank and UXOs). The Remaining Confirmed Hazardous Areas to be cleared is
43,590,035 M2 (43.59Km2). Out of the remaining contaminated areas 70% of the area is
jungle, grass & scrub. Balance 10%, 5% and 15% areas are falling into livelihood area, water
area and others (sandy, rocky, bare & boggy areas) respectively. The following table depicts
the demining progress as end of June 2016.

4.7.5. Mine Risk Education (MRE)
The Mine Risk Education progarmme one of main pillars of National Mine Action Programme and it is urgently to be continued to reduce risk and accidents people who are living in mine ERW infected areas. MRE also uses to create support for mine-safe behaviour among communities and leaders. There are two main goals in MRE progarmme in Sri Lanka and it is functioning based on the MRE communication strategies developed by the UNICEF. The goals are to minimize deaths and injuries from landmines and explosive remnants of war and to reduce the social and economic impact from the landmines and ERW. Sri Lanka is implementing a low cost MRE approach and it comprise with the four complimentary approaches namely School based MRE; Community based MRE, Community liaison and Media Based MRE. During the nine months of this year 161 MRE programme were conducted where newly resettled areas in the Northern Province. In 2002, 154 civilian mine casualties have been reported and the numbers of civilian mine and ERW casualties have been gradually declined due to mine risk education programme.

4.7.6. Mine Casualties
In accordance with the IMSMA, number of mine casualties by year since 2002 up to end November 2016 shows the pattern of civilian mine casualty. In order to overcome the casualty problem, it is required to continue a comprehensive MRE programme together with demining operations. The number of mine/ERW incidents with victims varies over the last three years; with 29 reported in 2009, 47 in 2010 and 23 in 2011. However, there is a drastic increase in the number of casualties reported in year 2012 with 47 casualties from 28 incidents, representing a 78 per cent increase in causality rates compared to the first seven months of 2011. But still total number of reported
incidents is comparatively low; from year 2013 no of incidents have been decreased and this year five incidents have been reported with the 8 no victims taking into account that exposure to the threat has dramatically decreased due to Mine Risk Education Programme (MRE)
4.7.7. Expenditure
After defeating the terrorism, the great challenge funded by the government was to resettle nearly 300,000 internally displaced people (IDP) in their own habitats. Contamination of most of their lands with mines and ERW was the biggest threat to return the people. First time in Sri Lankan mine action history, Government committed to the mine action programme in large scale by spending treasury fund for the mine action programme. From 2009 to 2015, mine action programme was contributed Rs. 13,611 million and out of the total amount Rs 3,898 million was donated to Humanitarian demining programme of Sri Lanka Army by the Government of Sri Lanka.
4.7.8. Achievements in Mine Action during past 5 years
Nearly 300,000 Internally Displaced People (IDPs) who were temporary reside in welfare centers from Northern Province have been resettled in their place of origin as end of September 2012.
There are 72,464 families with 255,800 people who had been displaced form Eastern province have been resettled in their place of origin
Trend of the Casualty rate has been gradually decreased from year 2002 to 2015.
