Nepal’s peace process is a truly Nepalese process, unique in many ways. One of its most unique features is the creation of the Interim Task Force. In December 2006 the parties to the peace process were concerned that weapons storage should move forward as quickly as possible, since it was linked to the entry of Maoist representatives first into the Interim Legislature-Parliament, and then into the Interim Government. The United Nations moved with unusual speed to deploy its first arms monitors, but they could not immediately maintain the 24-hour presence required at the cantonments once weapons were stored. It was the Nepalese parties – with full agreement between the Government and Maoist representatives – who suggested the engagement of Nepali ex-Gurkha members of the Indian Army. It then fell to General Wilhelmsen and his colleagues to develop the
concept and advise on recruitment, but the initiative was entirely a Nepalese one.
