Nepalese Foreign Ministers Disagree With UN Secretary General
By KTM Metro Reporter
September 08, 2010: four former ministers such as Chakra Prasad Bastola and Ram Sharan Mahat of NC, Prakash Chandra Lohani of Rastriya Janasakti Party, and KP Oli of CPN-UML have written a joint letter to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon disagreeing on his report on the peace process presented to the UN Security Council meeting.
They have said in their letter that the Secretary General did not even see the need for waiting an official request from the Government of Nepal for presenting his report to the Security Council for extending the term of UNMIN. However, these Nepalese guys did not think of the need for following the rule of law the Secretary General needs to follow to present his report to the UN Security Council on time so that the members of the UN Security Council have time to discuss the report.
They have asked the Secretary General for revising his report and investigate the officials that have prepared it in the name of the Secretary General, interfering in an independent member state’s internal politics. They also questioned the impartiality of the UNMIN in Kathmandu and New York concerning the peace process in Nepal.
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has stated in his new status report on Nepal that the peace process remains incomplete; the political parties have been unable to produce a new constitution; while "two sides" may no longer exist, two armies the Nepal Army and the Maoist Army have continued to exist in the country; the changes foreseen to the armies under the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) have not taken place.
UNMIN Chief Landgren has pointed out that the Nepal Army has continued recruitment since 2007 in defiance of an arms monitoring agreement.
