No more delay

The government should uphold the principle that reparations are the right of victims.

Every development in Nepal’s transitional justice process has been followed by different interventions from the Supreme Court: right from the formulation of the legislation to set up the transitional justice commissions to the annulment of the amnesty provisions in the law was carried out after the top court’s directives. It has made yet another intervention in favour of the victims of the Maoist insurgency and those from state atrocities in different periods. A division bench of the top court has asked the government to formulate a consolidated reparation policy. It has also asked the state authorities to amend different rules, directives and policies relating to the distribution of the relief and compensation that are discriminatory towards women.
