BY KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On Friday January 22, 2010, the High Level Political Mechanism (HLPM) has endorsed its Terms of Reference (ToR) with five objectives, seven jobs and four points code of conduct prepared by a six-member taskforce.
The five objectives are to 1) assist in resolving the problems of completing the peace process and 2) writing a new constitution in time; play a pivotal role in 3) ending the current political deadlock, in removing 4) the prevailing mistrust among the political parties evaluating all the events since the signing of the 12-point understanding and creating grounds for 5) consensus politics making common efforts on removing political problems.
The seven jobs the HLPM has endorsed are to 1) reach the consensus politics for ending the current political deadlock; 2) set up separate sub-committees on the necessary subject matters including the peace process and constitution writing, and assist the concerned agencies in these matters; 3) regularly hold a meeting of HLPM once a week and work forward; 4) take initiative in setting up various commissions following the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007 and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement of 2006; 5) review and enforce the agreements on the enforced disappearance, seized property and their return, and set up sub-committees on these matters if necessary; 6) improve the TOR as required; and 7) make decisions by consensus.
The four points of the code of conduct are 1) everybody needs to work on mutual agreements as the national consensus politics is the current need; 2) disregarding whatever differences all leaders and cadres have, everybody needs to use polite language while speaking and writing, and treat each other serenely; 3) everybody needs to completely control the assaults of cadres of one political party on the cadres and leaders of another; and 4) if any difference crops up, everybody needs to immediately resolve it taking it up at the concerned political level.
