Minister for Law and Justice Lila Nath Shreshta said that Government is preparing to extend the terms of the two transitional justice commissions, reports Kathmandu Post on June 17. “There is no option other than term extension. We wish we could revise the transitional justice Act as directed by the Supreme Court, but the government alone cannot do it,” the Minister said. On February 26, 2015, the Supreme Court had directed the Government to amend around half a dozen provisions in the Enforced Disappearances Enquiry, Truth and Reconciliation Act, 2014 - the provisions that allowed amnesty even in cases of serious human rights violation. Amending the Act is a must to prosecute the incidents of serious crimes and human rights violations that were perpetrated by the Maoist rebels and the state security forces during the decade-long Maoist insurgency.
