Sri Lankan president receives report on war abuses (AP)

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka ? A Sri Lankan commission that investigated alleged abuses during the country's civil war has delivered its final report to President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

The report by the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission was not immediately released to the public. However, the president has said he will present it to Parliament, which will make it a public document.

The government appointed the commission last year under intense international pressure to probe possible war crimes in the final stages of the war.

Human rights groups say the commission does not meet international standards and some of its members have conflicts of interest.

An earlier U.N. panel found credible allegations of serious abuses on both sides of the war, which ended in May 2009.
