Rebuilding Trust in Nepal’s Transitional Justice Process

Nepal’s transitional justice process has entered a sensitive and defining phase. The recent ordinance leading to the cessation of tenure of commissioners from the transitional justice bodies has created an institutional pause at a moment when continuity is both necessary and expected. At the same time, the upcoming visit of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion of truth, justice, reparation, and guarantees of non-recurrence places Nepal’s commitments under renewed international attention.
