Balance Between Civic Rights And Duties

A functional self-governance is a legitimising ethics of modern rule. It is entrusted with the tasks of executing the standard of democratic norms and mobilising and allocating society's resources to meet rational interests of Nepalis, such as freedom, security, identity and essential needs. The constitutional doctrine presupposes that elected rule has a duty to advance the interest of entire Nepalis, not just its clients. Nepalis have shown great enthusiasm in the local elections and exercised their conscience beyond the belief of leaders. Besieged by multi-polar political conflicts, they seem feeble to fulfil public goods and execute the constitutional premises of popular sovereignty, durable peace, an inclusive polity and progressive change.
