To record and disseminate information which will strengthen human rights, governance and democratic process for conflict transformation in Sri Lanka.

In any complex social environment, a tense and an overwrought situation could occur due to lack of information, spread of false information, and interpretation (misinterpretation) of information in varied forms. It would therefore, be hard to prevent those living in a complex community (people) from receiving distorted communication and arriving at incorrect assumption and also experience week communications.

This situation could be observed fairly clearly in a diverse society such as Sri Lanka. None in the country is insulated against the broadcasting of distorted news. Even those in the elite levels, who normally are accused of being in control of news making, fall victim to this situation. The process of broadcasting or spreading of news informally happens across vertical and horizontal levels of populace. Examples are many of situations where conflicts have arisen due to issues of public interest not being communicated transparently between the public and governors and as well as various social groups and communities. This has been one of the key factors that influenced the prolonging of the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka for three decades.

Conflicts minimize and societies develop only when accurate information is made available to all concerned parties. It is important to have the flow of information both vertically and horizontally. Similarly, any human requires information to arrive at decisions, if not it could lead to violation of a person's rights.
