“Set aside differences, don’t define CPA for individual good”
Kathmandu, Nov 20 - The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) suggested the government and the Maoists to patch up their differences over the peace agreement through the mechanism comprising representatives from both the sides and not to define the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) for their own goodwill.
In a brief report publicised today to mark the third anniversary of the signing of the peace agreement, the constitutional rights watchdog stressed on the need for maintaining the understanding between the political parties as the ongoing political misunderstanding has made it difficult for the implementation of the agreement.
The NHRC has expressed concern over the continuing violent incidents such as killing, abduction, disappearance and property capture though the human rights situation has substantially improved compared to the armed conflict.
“The state of impunity has increased due to withdrawal of cases relating to serious human rights violations instead of investigating the guilty of human rights violations during the conflict,” read the statement, “Critical tasks mentioned in the CPA have yet to be carried out on the scheduled time.”
The NHRC has also made public the incidents of human rights violations by the state and the Maoists during the three-year period. As per the NHRC report, the government side has carried out 198 cases of torture and inhumane behaviour, while the Maoists have been held responsible for 48 such cases.
Stating that 82 persons due to the Maoists and 6 due to the government had to be internally displaced, the NHRC has made it clear that those involved in such inhumane act has not been booked.
