NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION towards which the Commission is responsible. Similarly, in the absence of the locally elected representatives, people are facing serious problem in enjoying their civil and political rights along with economic, social and cultural rights because there is no where they can take their complaints and difficulties. The Commission’s last annual report of the fiscal year 2059/60 also could not be discussed in Parliament and there was no place where the Commissions problem and grievances could be heard. In the absence of the human rights committee of Parliament, several decisions of the commission have not been finalized. 7.2.14. Human Resources Skilled human resource is imperative for any organization to run smoothly. Although the required number of positions was determined when the Commission was established all of them have not been fulfilled because of financial reasons. Twenty positions were filled on a permanent basis during last fiscal year. Similarly, the process of recruiting staff for its regional offices is on the final stage. This has helped to make the work smooth to a large extent. Still, the inability to fulfill the positions of the chiefs in different divisions has hampered the work of those divisions. Although there is alternative way of fulfilling the remaining positions on temporary basis by bringing staff from the government, the problem is that, on one hand, those staffs do not remain in the Commission for long and they return to their original positions after receiving training.

Therefore, the financial aspect is also taken as an important part of whether or not a human rights commission is given international recognition as a national commission. But the Human Rights Commission Act, 2053 has failed to clearly specify that the state would provide enough financial resources, but instead it said that the Commission could receive financial resource from different sources.The government has not provided sufficient financial resource to the commission. Therefore, the commission has to make continuous efforts to gain funds from the government to go with the concept of national human rights body as stated in the Paris Principles and to use the fund according to its rules and processes. 7.2.16. Development of human rights culture The Commission has been doing many promotional programmes on human rights to help in the creation of an environment for the development of human rights culture by disseminating human rights education. But when the budget provided by the government is not even enough to run the day-to-day administration of the Commission, running human rights programmes becomes a major challenge.
