NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION of the Commission. There are even high officials of the government who lack a clear understanding about the Commission. The government side harbours the notion that the Commission only raises questions and makes suggestions on the violation of human rights by the officials working in government bodies and it is not concerned about violations from the Maoist side. The formation of the Commission was to look into the violation of human rights by the government bodies and to make recommendations on the responsibilities of the government to give a sense of human rights to the citizens. If any group or individual other than the government does anything that violates human rights it comes under serious crime to other activities against the law according to the nature of the work. It falls under the state’s responsibility to take action against those individual or group to protect the people’s rights. Therefore, the Commission does not look into controversies between individuals, but looks into the violation of human rights by the bodies to take actions due to its failure to fulfill its responsibility and makes necessary recommendations to the concerned bodies. The related bodies should be clear about it. In the present situation of conflict, the Commission has received complaints of the non-state party, calling itself a new regime, of involving in murder, rape, kidnapping and other activities that violates human rights. Legally, the Commission is in no situation of making recommendation, order or take action against the non-state party. Still, the Commission is making all efforts on how to make the nonstate party responsible. That is why, because the responsible units are not clear about the limit, area of authority and its reach, the commission has to face additional challenges in its functioning. 7.2.10. Implementation of the decisions of the Commission With the Commission carrying out investigations on the complaints it receives, and on the basis of the reports of the investigation, it has asked for factual information and reactions. But the failure of His Majesty’s Government and the related bodies to provide information in a systematic manner makes it difficult for the Commission to make decisions on the complaints and also to implement the decisions it has taken. During this period, the Commission had written to the government through the Cabinet Secretariat to implement its decision on several issues including Doramba and others. The government has only partially implemented the decisions sent by the Commission, but on many other important decisions, the implementation of the decisions has faced problems because the Commission has not received timely information about their implementation. However, things can be expected to improve after the responsibility of coordinating between different government agencies regarding the implementation of the Commission’s decisions is given to the Human Rights Promotion Centre under the Office of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers of His Majesty’s Government. 7.2.11. Lack of cooperation from the concerned bodies The Commission cannot function effectively without appropriate cooperation from the government bodies and agencies. The Commission expects cooperation in areas such as providing information and notices demanded by it as soon as possible, in unrestricted access to jail and custody and detention centre for inspection and investigation and in implementing its suggestions. There is involvement of the security forces in several cases of human rights violation. Although getting information and access to the police forces is somewhat easier, 80
