Bhishma Raj Angdembe, the parliamentary leader of the main opposition Nepali Congress, has objected to the government creating a 'vacuum' by leaving various sensitive bodies vacant.
Speaking in parliament on Wednesday, leader Angdembe said that important mechanisms of transitional justice have been disrupted by the dismissal of officials based on political affiliation and vested interests.
Stating that even after two decades since the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, conflict victims are still deprived of justice, leader Angdembe said that there is deep international interest in this issue and that UN Special Rapporteur Bernard Dwyme is preparing to visit Nepal in June.
He said, 'The third amendment made in 2024 to fully comply with the Supreme Court's verdict and international standards is still incomplete.' A fourth amendment to the Act is necessary to correct existing legal weaknesses before making new appointments.’
He concluded his remarks by drawing the government’s special attention to bringing the transitional justice process to a logical conclusion, respecting the long-term struggle of conflict victims.
