“As Nepal moves forward in its peace process and strengthens its democratic institutions to build a strong and stable future, calls for amnesties or for case withdrawals involving serious crimes would be steps in the wrong direction,” said Robert Piper, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in Nepal. “These would deny victims justice at a time when the rule of law should be the foundation of the transitional justice process and of the new
Constitutional order that is being built.”
As part of its “immediate relief programme” unveiled last week, the Government of Nepal has committed to speed up the adoption of the bills related to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Inquiry on Disappearances, and to establish these two commissions immediately”.
