National Reconciliation: Strategic Framework for Disciplined Pluralism 📈
• Overall Strategy The report outlines a transition from reactive coexistence to resilient cohesion through structured pluralism. It emphasizes that managing diversity, rather than enforcing uniformity, is a national security necessity to prevent radicalization and institutional fragility. • Security & Governance Pillars Institutional Design: Proposes district-level interfaith councils, early-warning mechanisms for hate speech, and structured engagement between religious leaders and security institutions. Calibrated Accountability: Advocates for "proportional justice" to build state legitimacy. Key focus areas include strengthening independent oversight in counter-terrorism and ensuring due process to avoid collective suspicion. Digital Governance: Addresses algorithmic fragmentation through rapid-response fact-checking and cross-platform monitoring of extremist content. • Social & Civic Incentives Civic Rewards: Recommends national awards and recognition frameworks for interfaith collaboration and community reconciliation initiatives to balance punitive measures. Education: Integration of digital literacy and intra-faith reform to reduce ideological distortion and narratives of supremacy. • Economic & National Context Based on the reflection, Sri Lanka’s economic recovery and long-term stability are fundamentally linked to a robust social fabric. Without institutionalized reconciliation, national progress remains "brittle" against polarization and external ideological currents. _Data based on policy analysis and national reconciliation framework._
