CHAPTER VII RECOMMENDATIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Environment should be created for guaranteeing the human rights of the people by signing and pursuing the agreement, which the Commission had submitted, to both the government and the agitating forces (Maoists) by maintaining the ceasefire arranged for terminating the seven years armed struggle. Initiative should be taken by His Majesty's Government, non-governmental organisations, human rights activists and civil society for guaranteeing economic, social and cultural rights of the people along with civic and political rights. Necessary programmes like protection of human rights, provision for fooding, housing and clothing etc. should be arranged and implemented for the people who were forcibly displaced by the conflict. Taking consideration of the disturbances in the educational sphere resulting out from assassination, violence and destruction of public property, the schools should be developed as peace areas so that children's education rights be guaranteed. Special programmes should be brought for protecting diverse rights of women and children occupying half of the population who have been tortured by the violence perpetrated under armed conflict. Acts and regulations be framed for punishing the torturer so that violence perpetrated in the name of witchery and other domestic violence could be checked. Necessary budget be allocated to the Commission so as to make the Commission capable of shouldering its responsibility as prescribed by the act. In order to disseminate human rights education in a broad spectrum, His Majesty's Government should frame a policy to incorporate it in the curriculum of the school, campus as well as civil, military, police and other services as compulsory texts. The diverse ministries, agencies and departments of His Majesty's Government should be made to furnish information or cooperation to the Commission which it asks from them for the purpose of human rights protection. Cooperation, coordination, understanding and commitment should be developed between all concerned parties for creating a human rights culture by terminating impunity. 28
