Office on Missing Persons (Sri Lanka) · OMP — ompsrilanka.org

tlte-cite:omp-srilanka

Editorial gloss

Statutory institution established by the OMP Act No. 14 of 2016. Searches and traces the missing and disappeared; cannot prosecute. OHCHR records 6,700+ accepted cases by the OMP and 16,700+ broader UN-recognised figures (UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances cumulative caseload from Sri Lanka — one of the highest globally). The OMP can issue Certificates of Absence permitting administrative resolution (succession, property, welfare); families and PEARL have documented limitations in scope, resourcing, and the absence of a truth-seeking function.
