Two Decades of Waiting for Truth and Justice

Nepalis are currently experiencing an unprecedented natural calamity, caused by the global heating effect and worsening climate change—serious human rights and climate justice issues. The devastating August 26 Bhotekoshi–Trisuli ‘Himalayan Tsunami’ swept away business hubs, villages, hydropower stations, roads, bridges, and schools, resulting in the deaths of more than a thousand people. Over four thousand individuals remain missing, including tourists from nearly three dozen countries, while about one hundred thousand surviving residents are displaced. This disaster has not only inflicted profound shock and agony on the region but also left thousands of children orphaned, deprived of their families.
