Victims, rights activists criticise ruling party bid to form political mechanism to facilitate transitional justice

The move is political, and goes against the principles of transitional justice and Nepal’s international commitments to uphold human rights, they say.

Victims of the armed conflict and human rights defenders have opposed the idea of forming a political mechanism to facilitate the conclusion of the transitional justice process, as proposed by the six-member task force formed to propose measures to end the months-long dispute within the ruling party.
