Nepal

Although the armed conflict with the Maoists in Nepal ended in 2006, and the Comprehensive Peace Agreement committed to addressing the root causes of the conflict and the establishment of a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, attempts by the government to pass amnesty laws, the lack of political will to address impunity, the lack of consultations in designing transitional justice processes and mechanisms, and the defiance of court orders and recommendations of the National Human Rights Commissions, have eroded trust between victims, civil society, and the government.  The lack of political will and an inability to take a coordinated and coherent approach to promote a comprehensive transitional justice process that respects truth, justice, and guarantees of non-reoccurrence, has negatively impacted the transitional justice process.
