Remarks by Richard Bennett, Representative of the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Nepal, at the Inaugural Conference of the National Law Students of Nepal. 14 March 2010, Kathmandu “Our Constitution, Our Responsibility, Our Future”
Abstract:
OHCHR is hopeful that any flaws of the Interim Constitution, as noted, will be remedied in during the discussion and drafting process for the new constitution now underway, in line with Nepal’s human rights treaty obligations. Whilst talking of rights, we should remain mindful that robust accountability mechanisms are crucial if rights are to be fulfilled. These include a strong and independent judiciary with sufficient power to hold the government to account, national human rights institutions, such as the NHRC, that monitor governmental performance of its obligations towards human rights and take up complaints of violations or denial of rights and a highly professional, inclusive legal community that ensures access to equal justice for all in Nepal. #Speech #RichardBennett
