Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC) has published a press statement expressing grief on the fact that even after the completion of 15 years of the end of the 10-year-long armed conflict between the then Maoists and the government, the institutions set up to redress serious human rights violations and abuses during the conflict have not been able to deliver effective results.
The commitments made through the Comprehensive Peace Accord on November 21, 2006, related to the justice of the conflict victims have not been addressed till date. The Constitution of Nepal has changed the nation’s political system and structure of the government- mentioned in the statement.
According to the statement, it is even more tragic that the transitional justice mechanism has failed to build trust in its work to reassure the victims and the national and international human rights community.
The non-implementation of the international community’s recommendation and the Supreme Court’s order for legal and policy reform has highlighted the indifference of the Government of Nepal and the Federal Parliament to the administration of justice during the conflict.
The conflict victim profile prepared by INSEC has documented 13,248 cases of killing and 931 cases of enforced disappearances.
The ‘Nepal Conflict Report 2012’, published by the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights of United Nations, states that there have been more than 10,000 incidents of violation of human rights and humanitarian law during the armed conflict.
