Government For Ending Impunity In Nepal

Issue 03, January 16, 2011


By KTM Metro Reporter

January 14, 2011: speaking at the program on ‘The Role Of Stakeholders In Ending Impunity In Nepal’ held by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on January 13, 2011, officiating Prime Minister Madhav Nepal has said that the government is enforcing the recommendations made by the NHRC and has presented the Bill on forming a Truth And Reconciliation Commission to the parliament according to the state-run news agency called RSS but he has not said anything about his government not enforcing so many court rulings concerning the violation of human Rights.

If Nepal has to end the impunity then Nepalis need to punish first officiating Prime Minister Madhav Nepal and his ministers for not punishing the perpetrators of the human rights violation. Madhav Nepal and his defense minister have not only held the perpetrators of human rights accountable but also promoted them. For example, these shameless guys have promoted Toran Jung Bahadur Singh with the criminal act of enforced disappearance of 49 people from the custody of the Bhairavnath Battalion. The United Nations Office of High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNOHCHR) has indicted Toran Jung Bahadur Singh for the enforced disappearance of 49 people while he was the commander of the Bhairavnath Battalion.

Similarly, Madhav Nepal and his gang have covered up the killer major Nirajan Basnet despite a group of human rights activists and legal professionals have demanded the turn over of major Niranjan Basnet indicted for torturing and killing of a minor Maina Sunuwar in 2004 to the Kavre District Court for pursuing the criminal case against him.

Home Minister Bhim Rawal has patted the armed police for killing unarmed and innocent women and old people in the name of ejecting them from the forest land in western Nepal a year ago. These ministers tended to be criminals themselves; will really work on ending impunity in Nepal?
