8.2 Support to End Impunity The major factors responsible to increase the menace of impunity are ineffectiveness in the enforcement of law, inadequacy of law, nexus between politics/bureaucracy and crime, withdrawal of criminal cases of heinous nature. The large number of crimes committed during the conflict has remained unreported. The conflict resulted into displacement, disappearance, followed by serious mental, psychological, bodily and economic and social losses. Delay in the formation of transitional justice mechanisms has aggravated the situation as victims of conflicts are long awaited for justice. The NHRC therefore would work through its dialogues, advocacy, lobbying and campaigning programs followed by monitoring the compliance of CPA to lessen the state of impunity. 8.3 Support to End Discrimination Despite legal reform initiatives have been taken, discrimination exists in Nepalese society. The caste and sex based discrimination rest on the top of discriminatory practices. The discriminatory practice against dalits, SOGI groups, mentally ill people, people living with HIV/AIDS, people with disability, rural women and returnee sex workers are serious. NHRC therefore plans to launch dialogue and advocacy programs followed by monitoring the situation of discrimination. 8.4 Capacity Development of HRD The role of HRD is immensely important to increase the human rights capacity at all levels. Larger number of HRD in the field requires updates on human rights issues. The HRD defending the rights of different sections of people such as women, children, minorities and so would require special skills and knowledge to enable them to defend on those rights. The NHRC has therefore planned to develop structured syllabus for HRD training and hold series of training mainly to potential human rights trainers. 8.5 National Capacity Building on HRBA and Ensure Development Initiatives to Needy People The rights based approach is expected to contribute to sustainable human development. The realization of human rights among targeted population would increase feeling of ownership in development processes and results. The development agents involved both in public and private sectors are found less acquainted on how to integrate human rights concerns in sustainable human development (SHD) initiatives. NHRC plans to impart ToT to development trainers and HRD on this issue. To ensure that the fruits of development are delivered to the needy people in human rights friendly manner, the Commission plans regular monitoring of development plans and initiatives. 8
