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.
