This chapter illustrates the role state-based truth commissions have in postwar nation-building when they are conducted during the resettlement of those who were forcibly displaced during the conflict. By drawing on the case of Sri Lanka, I examine transcripts of testimonies made to the “Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission” (LLRC) during the commission’s field visits to war-affected communities in the Northern Province. The historical moment in which the LLRC took place was during the resettlement of Tamils who were displaced during the final stages of the war. This chapter examines the role of the Commission in the process of resettling those who were forcibly displaced by war, and what I suggest being the forced “placement” of Tamil war survivors into the postwar Sri Lankan nation-state.
