Still Waiting for Justice. No End to Impunity in Nepal
Advocacy Forum and Human Rights Watch
October, 2009, Human Rights Watch:
Three years after a historic peace agreement ended a decade-long armed conflict, specifically promising greater respect for human rights and accountability, impunity remains firmly entrenched in Nepal. No member of the security forces or the Maoists has been held to account in civilian courts for grave human rights abuses committed during the conflict; most cases that have been filed are stalled. Human rights violations committed since the end of the conflict also continue to go unpunished: cases against suspects are routinely withdrawn, with the victims offered token amounts of Money. This report is a follow-up to our 2008 report, 'Waiting for Justice: Unpunished Crimes from Nepal’s Armed Conflict' and provides updates on the 62 cases highlighted there.
