Human Rights and the Constituent Assembly Elections.
Abstract:
Respect for human rights is essential to ensuring that an environment free of fear and intimidation is created for the elections. Otherwise, both the process and outcome of the elections can be open to question. The human rights most relevant during the elections process include primarily: 1. The right to participation. 2. The right to non-discrimination. 3. The right to freedom of opinion, expression and access to information. 4. The right to peaceful assembly and freedom of association. 5. The right to freedom of movement. The rights to life, to physical integrity and to not be arbitrarily detained, as well as gender and child rights, are also relevant during the elections process. These rights are enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which has been ratified by Nepal. #StatesResponsibility #Election

Human Rights and the Constituent Assembly Elections
Abstract:
The State has an obligation to promote and protect the human rights of its population, with emphasis during elections on the rights listed above. The actions of the state’s security forces to protect the population, maintain law and order, and ensure that people’s democratic rights are respected will be key to ensuring peaceful and fair elections. The State is responsible to ensure that women and historically marginalized groups – Madheshis, Dalits, Janajatis/Adivasis, sexual minorities, the disabled and those from geographically excluded regions – can participate in the elections process, including as candidates, without intimidation or fear of violence. The Constituent Assembly should be as representative as possible.Special attention must be given to actions taken by the security forces and the administration to address any problems that arise, to manage demonstrations and political rallies peacefully, and to prevent any interference in the electoral process that results in restrictions on the rights of participants.
