processes in order to make human rights-friendly constitution as per the spirit of the historical people’s movement of 2006. The Commission therefore has a plan to sensitize CA members and increase awareness among people at the grass-roots level through policy advocacy and outreach programmes that include interactions and consultation among the stakeholders and dissemination of IEC materials for public awareness. 6.2. Ending the culture of impunity Impunity is a serious problem the country has been facing for long. Lack of fear of punishment, inadequate laws, politics of power and ineffective law enforcement mechanisms are the major causes behind the persistence of the state of impunity. During the armed conflict situation, thousands of people lost their lives and millions suffered due to displacement, disappearance, and torture. The government has planned to establish the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Peace and Reconstruction Commission to address the grievances involved and bring the perpetrators of the past human rights abuses to justice as per the CPA. The Commission plans to actively involve through the effective monitoring of activities directed to end the state of impunity. According to an estimate approximately 13 thousand people died during the decade long violent conflict. Many more have been the victims of injury, enforced disappearances, abduction, torture, among other atrocities. The exact figure of victims such as the widows, orphans and cases of internal displacement caused by conflict is hardly available yet. In the recent days, the process of victimizing has indeed declined in figures, but not ended, even after commitment shown through CPA done between GoN and CPN-M. 6.3. Protecting Life, liberty and security Even after the declaration of FDRN, life, liberty and security of the people are under severe threat in different parts of the country. NHRC has been frequently receiving complaints that the CPN-M affiliated Young Communist League (YCL) is largely engaged in the actions such as killing, abduction, physical and mental torture, extortion and disappearance that cause violation and abuse of human rights. In addition, many known and unknown armed groups including the Jantantrik Terai Mukti Morcha, Madheshi Tigers, Terai Cobra, Terai Bagees, and the National Defence Army are largely involved in killing, abduction, torture, extortion and disappearance in the central and eastern part of the Tarai. Despite their continuous involvement in criminal activities, they are claiming themselves as political groups. NHRC has shown grave concern on the degrading condition of human rights violations and has frequently monitored the situation and recommended to the government of Nepal to restore law and order in the country. 16
