Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (Ninety-second session ) presents the summary record of the 2627th meeting Held at the Palais Wilson, Geneva, on Tuesday, 1 May 2018, at 10 a.m. At the invitation of the Chair, the delegation of Nepal took places at the Committee table.
Mr. Dhital (Nepal) responding to questions raised by the Committee in the previous meeting, said that he regretted that a lengthy period had elapsed since his country had last submitted a periodic report or an updated core document. He would ask the Committee to consider, however, that Nepal had experienced a violent conflict between 1996 and 2006, which had been followed by a protracted transition. That period, characterized by rapid and turbulent change and a lack of clear political direction, had prevented the Government from fulfilling all its reporting obligations.
Mr. Dhital (Nepal), expressing appreciation of the Committee’s constructive engagement with the delegation, said that the insightful views and expertise of Committee members would be of great value to his Government as it continued to strive to promote and protect the rights of all vulnerable and disadvantaged groups. The delegation had sought to shed light, in a spirit of partnership and cooperation, on the challenges ahead and plans to tackle them effectively. It would clearly take some time to guarantee all the rights enshrined in the Convention and the new Constitution. Primary responsibility lay with the State, but civil society and international development partners could play an important role in assisting Nepal in fulfilling its pledge under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to leave no one behind.
