UNMIN is deeply concerned at reports that the Nepal Army, and the Maoist army, plan to undertake fresh recruitment. UNMIN’s position remains that any recruitment by either the Nepal Army or the Maoist army constitutes a breach of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and the Agreement on the Monitoring of the Management of Arms and Armies (AMMAA). The relevant provisions of the AMMAA reflect the provisions of the original Ceasefire Code of Conduct, which committed both parties “not to recruit new people.” A proposal to permit recruitment to fill vacancies was rejected, leaving no ambiguity. Recruiting any personnel, including for the purpose of filling vacancies, is prohibited under article 5.1.19 of the AMMAA, unless it has been agreed between the parties. Any proposed recruitment should be referred to the Joint Monitoring Coordination Committee for approval.UNMIN has written to the Government and the UCPN-M, advising them to respect past agreements and to act in this matter with good faith towards the United Nations, the mandated monitor of the AMMAA.
