The Conflict Victims Common Platform (CVCP), on January 19, issued a press release strongly objecting to the nomination of office bearers in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP), reports The Himalayan Times. The recommendation committee formed under former chief justice Om Prakash Mishra to nominate office bearers of the two Transitional Justice (TJ) mechanisms had recommended the office bearers on January 18. The CVCP said the recommendation committee endorsed the names recommended by the political parties that were indifferent to the pain and suffering of conflict victims. Stating that their lack of imitative to amend the TRC Act, was one of the major causes behind the failure of the two transitional justice bodies, CVCP said, and the recommendation committee ignored the concerns of the conflict victims. The CVCP further said it recommended party’s loyalists in the two TJ bodies without reviewing causes of their failure, and the rights of the victims could not be ensured by the two TJ bodies as they would be unable to investigate the cases of human rights violations in impartial and independent manner. According to CVCP recommendation of the ‘loyalist and inefficient persons’ in the TRC and the CIEDP was made with the intention of to prolong the TJ process. “We will not support the TRC and the CIEDP unless they are formed after consulting us and amending the TRC Act,” CVCP said in the release. The CVCP urged national and international stakeholders to exert pressure on the Government to address concerns of the conflict victims.
