Remarks by Richard Bennett, OHCHR-Nepal Representative at the Reporters Club on the occasion of International Day for the Disappeared organized by Conflict Victims' Society for Justice-Nepal 29 August 2008
Abstract:
Enforced disappearance was one of the most serious violations of human rights and humanitarian law committed during the decade-long conflict in Nepal, and one of the violations with the broadest impact. We have some idea of the scale of the problem. The National Human Rights Commission today, based on complaints they received, released a figure of 970 disappeared persons. The ICRC and the Nepal Red Cross Society have published the names of more than 1200 people reported as missing by their relatives between 1996 and 2006 #RICHARDBENNETT #INTERNATTIONALDAY #DISAPPEARED #NEPAL #SUPPORT
