Concern About Impunity In Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
August 30, 2011: international and local human rights activists have been concerned very much with the inclusion of withdrawing the cases of murder, disappearance and other criminal activities committed by politicians and the state during the various movements mentioned in the four-point deal the UCPN-Maoist and the UDMF have reached before electing a new prime minister on August 28, 2011.
Families and relatives of the victims of both the state and other political parties during various movements mentioned in the four-point deal have vehemently protested against the inclusion of the provision for withdrawing such criminal cases committed by the state and politicians.
Families and relatives of the victims of disappearances demand the government to make public the whereabouts of their loved ones, and of those killed demand for compensation for the loss of their loved ones.
The Comprehensive Peace Agreement the then CPN-Maoist currently the UCPN-Maoist has reached with the then government of Nepal has the following articles:
• Publication of the names of the persons killed or disappeared within 60 days (Article 5.2.3)
• Formation of a national Peace and Rehabilitation Commission to provide relief support to conflict victims (5.2.4)
• Formation of a high-level Truth and Reconciliation Commission to investigate conflict-era crimes against humanity and gross human rights violations (5.2.5)
• Commitment to investigate and prosecute human rights violations and guarantee not to foster impunity (7.1.3)
Nothing has happened so far. None of the governments formed after the People’s Movement of 2006 has bothered to do anything to this end.
