Institutional Responsibility for Reported<br />
Disappearances, 1981 - 1998<br />
Both state <strong>and</strong> non-state actors have been responsible for<br />
past forced disappearances in <strong>Sri</strong> Lanka. Although, 56.9%<br />
(356/626) of disappearances reported to Families of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Disappeared</strong> did not contain information about <strong>the</strong> institutional<br />
responsibilty for <strong>the</strong> disappearance, 43.8% (274/626)<br />
of responsibility for reported disappearances was attributed<br />
to institutions of <strong>the</strong> state (namely <strong>the</strong> Police, Army <strong>and</strong><br />
Special Task Force).<br />
