The National Human Rights Commission has appealed to stakeholders to create the necessary environment for building a safe, just, and human rights–friendly society, and for ensuring the continuation of normal daily life. In its appeal published on September 22, 2025, the Commission has called upon the Government of Nepal, provincial governments, local governments, political parties, the private sector, civil society, the media, youth, various organizations, former public officials, and all citizens. The Commission has stated that the damage caused to public property, private property, and various state structures during the recent Gen-Z protest has posed serious challenges to Nepal’s democratic practice, the guarantee of fundamental and human rights, the rule of law, and peace and security.
The Commission drawing attention to the current situation has appealed to all stakeholders for restrained conduct, cooperation, and collective contribution. The appeal mentions the need for the immediate reconstruction and repair of basic infrastructures of security agencies’ offices, courts, jails,child reform homes, district administration offices, and other major administrative bodies that were damaged during the movement. It stresses arranging essential equipment, support, resources, technical expertise, and emergency budget for these institutions.
The Commission has additionally emphasized the importance of giving special attention to strengthening public security, the rule of law, and the effective delivery of essential public services (justice, health, education, security, communication, and administrative services). It also highlights the need for prompt and impartial assessment of the damages to public and private property, along with fair compensation and restoration, requiring urgent action from federal, provincial, and local governments as well as concerned stakeholders.
