The United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) today released the first of a series of periodic reports on the conditions for the 10 April Constituent Assembly election. While giving recognition to the achievement of overcoming significant political hurdles that had seriously threatened to derail the electoral process, the report highlights new challenges and difficulties that have emerged in the campaigning context.
“The aim of UNMIN’s public report is to encourage the political parties and all Nepalis to create a free and fair atmosphere for the Constituent Assembly election,” said Ian Martin, Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Nepal.
The 4-page report highlights the results of UNMIN and OHCHR-Nepal monitoring over the past two weeks, related to violence by groups opposed to the election, violations of the electoral code of conduct and of human rights, and arms monitoring. UNMIN makes seven recommendations for action to improve conditions for the election.
The report has been prepared by UNMIN in conjunction with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Nepal.
