Federalized Approach to Transitional Justice Process

Following a decade of conflict, a gross violation of human rights, lack of accountability and pervading impunity, current political shift, and transitional justice initiatives in Nepal appear to be crafting renewed prospects for transitional justice processes both at the national and federal level.

Given the context of Nepal where the national TJ process has been delayed, a holistic and devolved approach to transitional justice seems to be equally imperative, particularly now under the federal structure and acknowledging the experience of people’s war from length to breadth of the country.
