Kathmandu, 20 November: Nepal has made no progress on justice for crimes under international law in the 15 years since the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), four international rights organisations said today. Issuing a press statement, Amnesty International, International Commission of Jurists, Human Rights Watch and TRIAL International said that the government of Nepal should put the needs of victims front and center and set out a clear timeline for holding meaningful consultations and upholding its legal obligations. "Successive Nepali governments have pledged to deliver truth, justice and reparations to victims, including by implementing a 2015 Supreme Court ruling to amend the transitional justice law to disallow amnesties for serious crimes. Nevertheless, they have repeatedly failed to do so. Instead, the two transitional justice commissions have become inactive, while successive governments have used their theoretical existence as a pretext to prevent cases from proceeding through the regular courts," read the statement.
