Constitution Implementation Reviewed Amidst Calls for Legal Reforms

Kathmandu. The review of the constitution has begun 11 years after the Constitution of Nepal was promulgated by the Constituent Assembly as a result of the long struggle and sacrifice of the Nepali people. The constitution is not just a paper document; it is linked to the unlimited aspirations of the people. The fundamental spirit of the constitution cannot be achieved until the people's desire for a change in their living standards is fulfilled. There is a general interest in the proper and effective implementation of the constitution, the strengthening of the federal democratic republic, the enactment of essential laws, and coordination among the three tiers of government.

Just as the constitution has set the country on a new constitutional path of federal democratic republic, secularism, and proportional inclusivity, the fact that some necessary laws for its effective implementation are yet to be enacted and political instability have prevented the expected success in transforming the living standards of citizens.
