Victims of Solomon Islands' bloody ethnic tensions are still calling on MPs to act on the final report of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission set up to identify the root causes of the conflict and chart a way forward for the country.
This is according to one of the last surviving TRC commissioners Caroline Laore.
Speaking from the Shortland Islands Ms Laore urged government to implement the recommendations of the TRC report which was tabled in parliament in 2012 but has never been debated.
She told Koroi Hawkins that in good faith people all around the country poured out their hearts to the Commission in the hope their stories would help create a better Solomon Islands.
