1. It is essential, in order that the inalienable sovereignty embedded in the People by Article 3 of the Constitution, is duly exercised with accountability by the three branches (i.e. the Parliament, the Executive and the Judiciary) in carrying out their duties and responsibilities, that the intents as expressed in the preamble of the Constitution, be brought in to the body of Article 4, by way of an additional sub section numbered as Article 4(f) to read as follows;

3.Consider amending the constitution to bring in to effect an appropriately amended section similar in scope of section 29 of the Soulbury Constitution which read as:
“29. (1) Subject to the provisions of this Order, Parliament shall have power to make laws for the peace, order and good government of the Island.
(2) No such law shall –

4.In order to ensure ethnic harmony and foster the unity of people living in one nation, recognising the respective identities of all people, amend Chapter IV making Sinhala, Tamil and English official and national languages and institute all consequential amendments to the Constitution and other applicable laws and regulations.
5.Recognising that the sovereignty is in the people, including the power of government as exercised by the state, and further recognising that the spirit of the Constitution in its interpretation and enforcement must be by way of understanding of the objectives as set out in the directive principles, it is recommended that Chapter VI be amended to give effect to via the directive principles to the new Articles 4 (f), noted in 1 above, reading as article 27 (2) (i);
27(2) (i) the guaranteeing and securing for all the people of Sri Lanka;

6.Recognising that identities are important to empower the people of Sri Lanka to ‘Live as One Nation’ with dignity and security, the proposals made in this regard in the Majority Report must be given effect to including the following:
“The People of Sri Lanka shall be described in the Constitution as being composed of “the constituent peoples of Sri Lanka” and “The right of every constituent people to develop its own language, to develop and promote its culture and to preserve its history and the right to its due share of State power, including the right to due representation in institutions of government shall be recognised without in any way weakening, of the common Sri Lankan identity.” With a proviso that “ This shall not in any way be construed as authorising or encouraging any action which would dismember or impair, totally or in part, the territorial integrity or political unity of the Republic. (Refer pages 14 of http://www.wanasapumala.com/anikpituva/pdf/constitutional_protections_since_independance.pdf)
7.Recognising that the sine qua non for assurance of good governance, fostering democratic rights, freedom, rule of law, social justice and equity lie with the empowerment of a Constitutional Court being duly empowered to engage in Judicial review, having the power of testing the validity of legislative as well as other governmental action with reference to the provisions of the constitution, it is urged that a new article be added to the Constitution to “empower such court upon hearing of any petition filed before it or following a due reference to such a court by the Supreme Court or Appeal Court or following a review initiated by the court itself to validate that no law shall be inconsistent with the Constitution with power to declare prior to enactment or post enactment that such law or action is inconsistent with the Constitution and determine the consequential action to flow, subject however that no such determination will have retrospective effect.
“To ensure the supremacy of the Constitution, all action inconsistent with the
Constitution must be considered void. Post enactment judicial review is a must. The fundamental rights chapter should be consistent with Sri Lanka’s international human rights obligations and should also include social, economic, cultural, group, women’s and children’s rights apart from strengthening civil and political rights. Remedies for infringement of fundamental rights should be easily available and be efficacious.
These are but some of the essential features of a future Constitution of a united, peaceful and democratic Sri Lanka (Refer page 14 of http://www.wanasapumala.com/anikpituva/pdf/constitutional_protections_since_independance.pdf)
