By KTM Metro Reporter
March 31, 2012: at the meeting held at the Peace and Reconstruction Ministry, the top leaders of the political parties such as UCPN-Maoist, NC and CPN-UML formed a three-member taskforce to ascertain and recommend the modality for Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Commission on Enforced Disappearances (CED). The members of the taskforce are Khimlal Devkota of UCPN-Maoist, Ramesh Lekhak of NC, and Agni Kharel of CPN-UML. The taskforce will submit the report on the commissions at the Saturday’s meeting of three parties, ‘The Rising Nepal’ of today writes.
After the meeting held at the Peace and Reconstruction Ministry, NC Parliamentary Party leader Ram Chandra Poudel has said that leaders of the three parties have agreed on setting up TRC and CED presided over by former justices of Supreme Court of Nepal following the political consensus according to the news in ‘The Rising Nepal’.
International and national human rights organizations have been putting pressure on the government of Nepal to set up TRC and CED following the international norms but the Nepalese political leaders have been for letting the perpetrators of violating human rights go with impunity.
The government of Nepal headed by Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai has proposed the blanket amnesty to all the human rights violators. The government has stopped it after the heavy pressure of the international and national human rights organizations not to do so.
Some human rights activists and families of the people victimized by the enforced disappearances have been saying that the peace process would not be completed without bringing the perpetrators of human rights violation to justice.
