Concerns About Withdrawals Of Criminal Cases
By KTM Metro Reporter
June 24, 2011: National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Nepal have strongly opposed the government withdrawing the cases of human Rights violence in Nepal, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today writes.
“These withdrawals have served to shield politically connected individuals from criminal accountability in relation to hundreds of serious cases”, stated Gauri Pradhan, Commissioner and spokesman for NHRC, ‘The Rising Nepal’ writes.
Jyoti Sanghera, Head of OHCHR-Nepal said that the withdrawals of cases involving serious violations of human rights or humanitarian law not only violates the government’s legal commitments to ensure criminal accountability but also undermines its repeated political promises to hold those responsible for major crimes to account and put an end to impunity for past and ongoing violations.
