This document has been made public in a situation of enormous challenges with the Commission. It is over three years the Constitution making process is underway. The NHRC Bill that was drafted three and half years ago has been now pending with the Parliament, and therefore NHRC has to work under the earlier law made long before NHRC was elevated to a constitutional status. The rapid depletion of staff due to better opportunities elsewhere and reverse effects on motivation mainly due to lack of job security has been crucial problem for the Commission. The dedicated, motivated, sincere and experienced staff is a prerequisite and asset for every organization. Such staffing situation is a must to ensure desired results. The NHRC has backlog of number of complaints which require investigation and monitoring. Settling of complaints may require significantly a long time in a situation of inadequate staff and therefore may take some years to overcome this problem. The non-implementation of many recommendations has increased the level of frustration among the victims and their kin once they are unable to realize justice for a long time. Despite the Government of Nepal’s increased response in awarding compensation to victims and attending to the policy recommendation of the Commission, it is regrettable to note that none of the perpetrators indicated in the recommendations has been subject to prosecution. Nevertheless, NHRC will strive to maximum utilization of human and other resources for the implementation of this Strategic Plan. In addition to this, further measures will also be undertaken to ensure the success of this strategic plan. Kedar Nath Upadhyay Chairperson NHRC,Nepal ii
