Remarks by Anthony Cardon, Officer-in-Charge, OHCHR-Nepal At the opening ceremony of Human Rights National Magna Meet 2010
Abstract:
OHCHR and the National Dalit Commission recently reviewed the draft Bill on untouchable and have now proposed concrete recommendations to the Legislature- Parliament and other key actors to ensure that the Bill is consistent with the highest human rights standards and the commitments made by Nepal. I am confident that this analysis will serve you as a strong advocacy tool to help you in your efforts to end caste-based discrimination in Nepal. Finally, we believe that it is critical for the constitution making process to address key human rights issues, in particular those related to the root causes of the conflict such as discrimination and violations of economic, social and cultural rights. This unique opportunity to strengthen the constitutional protection of all human rights, including rights against all forms of discrimination, should not be missed. In this regard, the need to ensure the strength and independence of the judiciary and other National Human Rights Institutions is essential to secure effective protection and promotion of human rights. #Speech #AnthonyCardon,
