In a rare parliamentary practice, Speaker Krishna Bahadur Mahara on August 2 overruled the protest of the Nepali Congress (NC) Member of Parliaments (MPs) and ordered the House to get on with the day’s business whilst the opposition lawmakers remained standing from their seats - a gesture that otherwise would have led to session’s disruption, reports Kathmandu Post. The NC lawmakers had rose from their seats demanding that they be allowed some time to cross-question Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa soon after he finished responding to Parliament queries on the recent incident of rape and murder of a 13-year-old girl in Kanchanpur. The Speaker, however, refused to immediately grant the opposition lawmakers’ demand and urged them to take their seats, so the session could get on with other businesses of the day. Despite the Speaker telling the NC lawmakers that they would be allowed time to quiz Home Minister Thapa later, they did not heed his advice. The opposition MPs remained standing, hoping the Speaker would adjourn the session.

NC on August 4 said the Parliamentary Hearing Committee (PHC)’s rejection of chief justice nominee Deepak Raj Joshee had undermined democracy and independence of the judiciary, reports The Himalayan Times. The NC’s party office bearers’ meeting and the meeting of the parliamentary party today reached this conclusion. Both meetings concluded that the Constitutional Council led by Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli had nominated Deepak Raj Joshee for the post of Chief Justice, but his party’s lawmakers at the PHC had rejected the PM’s recommendation, which was not right.

Six top leaders of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) have accused the party Chairmen KP Sharma Oli and Pushpa Kamal Dahal, and General Secretary Bishnu Poudel of undermining the role of the party secretariat, reports The Himalayan Times on August 4. According to party sources, the six disgruntled leaders — Madhav Kumar Nepal, Jhalanath Khanal, Narayan Kaji Shrestha, Bamdev Gautam, Ishwar Pokharel and Ram Bahadur Thapa — said that Oli, Dahal and Poudel had ‘hijacked’ the role of the party’s secretariat. The newly enacted statute of the party states that crucial decisions should be taken formally by the party’s secretariat, but these three leaders have been flaunting this rule, said party sources, adding that most of these decisions were taken at the prime minister’s official residence in Baluwatar. They also claimed that sometimes Deputy Parliamentary Party leader Subas Chandra Nembang was consulted. “We need to discuss some serious national issues and chart our future course accordingly. However, we have not been able to do that,” said a confidant of one of the six disgruntled leaders requesting anonymity.

Dahal said that the main opposition party NC is having a hard time tolerating the recent leftist unification.

Concerned over the provision of community service for war criminals involved in serious human rights violations, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has suggested drop community service provision in Transitional Justice Related Bill-2018, reports Republica on August 8. “Granting amnesty to rights abusers under the pretext of community service is not in line with the norms of transitional justice. The international community will not accept such provision nor is the provision in accordance with the past Supreme Court verdicts,” said NHRC Secretary Bed Prasad Bhattarai.

Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on August 8 referred to ‘hue and cry’ made by the opposition Nepali Congress (NC) against the rejection of chief justice nominee Deepak Raj Joshee as ‘overreaction’, reports The Himalayan Times. He shared this view during a meeting with senior leaders of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) at his residence in Baluwatar, Kathmandu. “The Constitutional Council had recommended Joshee’s name for the post of chief justice. But the Parliamentary Hearing Committee overturned the CC’s decision after it conducted its investigation and found Joshee unsuitable for the post,” senior NCP leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha quoted the PM as saying.

National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has objected to some penalty provisions proposed in the draft bill of the transitional justice act and recommended at least 59 changes, arguing they are too lenient, reports Kathmandu Post on August 9. The group has particularly expressed concern over the provision that suggests only three years of community service as punishment for perpetrators of war crimes, and advised the government to make necessary changes, so the punishments fit the crimes. The provision states that those perpetrators who co-operate during investigation would be considered for commutation of jail sentence. Such persons would be fined up to Rs 500,000 and be put to community service for three years. During the period of community service, they would not be allowed to take up jobs or positions of profit. The commission described the provision as a mere tokenism and urged the government to be serious about prosecuting the crimes that were committed by the Maoist insurgents as well as the state security forces during the decade-long conflict. “One found guilty in severe cases of human rights violations must be jailed. Only community service is not going to work. It will be injustice to the victims if the perpetrators don’t even get jail sentence,” said NHRC member Sudip Pathak.

Eight disgruntled leaders of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) have opposed recommendations of task forces formed to finalise unification of the erstwhile Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML) and the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Center), reports The Himalayan Times on August 16.

As per the task force’s recommendation, the 145-member Sindhupalchowk District Committee will have 73 members from the CPN-UML and 72 from the CPN-Maoist Center.

NCP Co-chairman and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal speaking at the 15th Doramba Killing Memorial Day in Doramba of Ramechhap District on August 16 said that the onus is on Government to look after victims’ families’, reports The Himalayan Times. “As many as 21 soldiers of the rebel army were killed by the then Royal Nepal Army while the former were holding a district level meeting at Doramba during peace talks between the government and the Maoist army at Hapure of Dang on 3 August 2003. This incident was premeditated by the royalists to foil the peace process. Hence, the government should take responsibility for the family members and education of the children of the victims,” said Dahal.

Victims of the decade-long armed conflict have demanded that the Government revise the new criminal code that came into effect on August 17, claiming that it has failed to address the Supreme Court (SC) verdict in relation to enforced disappearance and was not in line with international standards, reports The Himalayan Times on August 21. The SC had on June 1, 2007, issued a verdict stating that enforced disappearance was a continuous crime and crime against humanity and that the government should enact laws criminalising enforced disappearances as per international standards. Ram Kumar Bhandari, founder and director of the National Network of Families of the Disappeared and Missing, said “The code was not applicable with retrospective effect and did not encompass war-era disappearances. This has made our case weaker. It also does not include norms of international enforced disappearance laws.” The victims also demanded that the two transitional justice bodies — the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) — be reconstituted, as they had failed to fully investigate a single complaint even after three-and-a-half years of their formation. The TRC has so far conducted preliminary investigation into 2,765 complaints out of more than 60,000, while the CIEDP has completed ‘first phase of detailed investigation’ into around 1,100 cases out of over 3,000 complaints.

Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal (RJP-N) lawmaker Laxman Lal Karna speaking at an interaction organised by Tarai Human Rights Defenders Alliance in Kathmandu on August 22 said that provisions of the new Citizenship Bill were more stringent than those of the Constitution, reports The Himalayan Times.Karna said the new bill had proposed that a foreign woman married to a Nepali man would have to submit evidence of renouncement of her citizenship within six months failing which her naturalised Nepali citizenship would be revoked. “Many women may not be able to produce the evidence of the renouncement of their citizenship in six months,” he added. Karna said the state should not make such rigid laws on citizenship.

Lenin Bista, a former Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) child combatant, was stopped by immigration officers from flying to Bangkok on August 24 ‘for not seeking permission from any government agency for his travel’, reports The Himalayan Times. Bista, whose trip and accommodation were sponsored by Bangkok-based Asian Resource Centre, was going to participate in a seminar titled ‘Youth in conflict areas: Healing in peace building through social engagement’. Bista, a resident of Kavrepalanchowk District was recruited as a child soldier by the rebels during the conflict and served the Maoist party for seven years before the party signed a peace deal with the government in 2006. He was among 2,973 child combatants declared unfit for integration by the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN).

Former disqualified child combatants are frustrated that years after being disqualified by the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) they have not got financial or other support from the Government, reports The Himalayan Times on August 26. Lenin Bista, a disqualified child combatant, said “Most disqualified combatants are past school-going age and cannot pursue their studies. The best option is to provide them with one-time financial assistance and their children with scholarship. If the government keeps giving us money, we may develop a habit of dependence on the government. The government should help build our capacity instead.” Another former child combatant, Tulasi Nepal, said the state and the erstwhile Maoist party should apologise for the mistakes they committed during conflict. “We have only got the tag of disqualified combatants,” he added. He said the best way to address the concerns of disqualified combatants would be to give them shares in mega projects and cooperative schemes. Altogether 2,973 fighters were disqualified from the Maoist army as minors in a UN verification process. Another group of 1,035 were disqualified because they were recruited after the ceasefire in May 2006 that ended the armed conflict.

Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), which has largely failed to look into war-era cases of rights violation, is delaying the reparation policy, which could guide relief provisions for thousands of people awaiting justice, reports Kathmandu Post on August 27. Reparation—the process of providing victims with monetary and other relief as per their wish—is one of the five pillars of transitional justice. The TRC and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) were formed in 2015 to look into war era cases of human rights violations and to recommend action. In the three-and-a-half years since, the TRC has completed preliminary investigation into hardly 2,800 cases among the 63,000 filed to it without completing detailed probe into a single case. The CIEDP, which received some 3,000 cases, has completed preliminary investigation into some 500 complaints but has failed to launch a detailed study.

Civil society groups during an event on the International Day of Disappeared in the Capital Kathmandu on August 29 accused the Government of trying to tire out the victims so they get frustrated and give up, reports Kathmandu Post. Ram Kumar Bhandari, President of Nepal Society of Families of the Disappeared and Missing, said “We won’t give up unless we know about the status of our relatives and those involved in the heinous crime are punished. The CIEDP hasn’t even cared to investigate into the disappeared cases in Bhairavnath, Chisapani, Charaali, Bhorletar, and Dhanusha Battalions—which have been accused of forcibly disappearing dozens of people. None of the battalion commanders has been interrogated, let alone asked to release a statement, on the accusations by hundreds of victims’ families. Justice delayed is justice denied. The commission should either deliver or give up.” According to the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP), by the end of the decade-long insurgency, there were 3,196 complaints of disappearances by the state and the Maoists, of which at least 2,369 have been identified as ‘genuine’ cases. Officials at the commission say they can understand the pain and frustration among the families and are working to resolve the cases despite different constraints. Lokendra Mallick, the chairperson of CIEDP, told that the commission has completed a preliminary investigation of 1,210 cases from 43 different Districts. Mallick said the commission hasn’t been able to recommend the actions against the perpetrators because there are no legal provisions to criminalise the forceful disappearance. The criminal code that came into effect on August 17 has criminalised forceful disappearance, but it does not apply to crimes committed before the law went into effect, essentially ignoring all the war-era disappearances. “I urge the victims to put pressure on the government as well, so it can introduce such a law,” Mallick said, reiterating that the commission is committed to providing justice to the victims.

Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) officials said its work will be bogged down deeper since the Government hasn’t released funds necessary for the probe, reports Kathmandu Post on August 29. Forty days after the new fiscal year, the TRC has received budget enough only for the salary of its staff while there is no money to cover their travel expenses or payments for the services of experts investigating the cases. The commission’s total budget for the current fiscal year is Rs117 million, which includes salary, travel costs, and a stipend for employees, as well as allowances for the victims who need to travel to the TRC offices to record statements. The commission has seven offices at the provincial level and a central office in Kathmandu. The Government released Rs37.70 million from the state coffers in mid-July, while agreeing to transfer Rs80 million granted by Germany to the Peace Fund. However, officials at the commission say there has been no progress in transferring the money received from Berlin. “Our provincial offices have been doing nothing but administrative works since July 17. Investigation is impossible without travel, and we don’t have money for it,” Lila Udasi Khanal, a member of the commission, told.
