Ian Martin Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Nepal: Message on International Day of Non-Violence - Peace Concert organized by Action for Poverty Alleviation Trust
Abstract:
This International Day of Non-Violence offers an opportunity for the people of Nepal to reflect at this critical juncture of the peace process, and to recommit to working together to consolidate peace and ensuring that violence is forever eradicated from political life in Nepal. The International Day of Non-Violence is held on the anniversary of the birth of Mahatma Ghandi, whose incorporation of non-violence into everyday life inspired countless individuals to lead better, more meaningful lives. As Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon said in his statement for today, “the United Nations was created in the hope that humanity could not only end wars, it could eventually make them unnecessary. Our founders hoped that the Organization could help stop violence by spreading a culture of peace, promoting tolerance and advancing human dignity. The achievement of the Jana Andalon of April 2006 in moving Nepal from armed conflict into a process of dialogue and peaceful negotiation sent the clearest signal of the desire of the people of Nepal for peace and democracy. The overwhelmingly peaceful protests also sent a clear message about the power of non-violence in political life. Nepali Version: http://un.info.np/Net/NeoDocs/View/2017 #420 #2017 #pair

The overwhelmingly peaceful protests also sent a clear message about the power of non-violence in political life. At the same time, we have seen recently in Nepal the tragedy of violence at the community level in which people have lost their lives, in Kapilvastu. I have been dismayed by repeated instances of violence in Nepal since the Jana Andalon, in which people have lost their lives. I appeal for an end to violence and to threats of political or communal violence and urge political parties, civil society, local authorities and members of communities to do all that they can to maintain or restore social harmony and peace at the community level, which is an essential to carry forward Nepal’s peace process.
