Much ado about nothing

Without a commitment to end the process right, term-extension of the TJ bodies is meaningless.

For the fourth time, the terms of the twin transitional justice bodies have been extended. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons Nepal have been without office-bearers for over a year and a half. On Wednesday, the government extended their terms until mid-June. The extension comes as the government prepares to present a bill to amend the flawed Enforced Disappearances Enquiry, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act, which is a precondition for the completion of the transitional justice process.
