The whole world is watching our transitional justice process

Despite our continuous pressure, the government has been reluctant to finalise the bill to reform the NHRC.

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) is not just a human rights watchdog but also a mechanism with a supervisory role in transitional justice. However, it is often criticised for not doing enough in this regard. Binod Ghimire of the Post sat down with Surya Prasad Dhungel, a commission member and an expert in transitional justice, to discuss a range of issues from the constitutional body’s performance to the future of the transitional justice process. Incidentally, Dhungel was one of the 52 appointees to various constitutional bodies whose appointments were recently upheld by the Supreme Court.
