Conclusions

The final session captured insights into the interaction between culture and constitution building, generally and with particular reference to Sri Lanka, as the host of the Forum.

• Insights from the perspective of Sri Lanka were provided by Dr Dinesha Samararatne and Ms Sakuntala Kadirgamar-Rajasingham;
• Insights for constitution building globally were summarised by Prof Cheryl Saunders and Ms Leena Rikila Tamang.

A postscript draws attention to the significance of the issues canvassed in the Forum for the constitutional developments that unfolded in Sri Lanka shortly after the forum was over.
