The Government has finally prepared a draft for amending the Act governing the two transitional justice bodies Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP), adhering to the Supreme Court (SC) verdict and international standards on transitional justice, reports Kathmandu Post on June 22. The proposal is likely to be tabled in Parliament for endorsement in two weeks. The draft was prepared three years after the apex court in 2015 struck down a dozen provisions of the CIEDP and TRC Act, 2014 saying that they were inconsistent with transitional justice norms and practices. The 22-page draft has proposed changes in a majority of 42 clauses of the Act. The amendments are based on the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the SC verdict, basic principles of transitional justice, consultation with stakeholders including the international community and the local reality. As per the apex court’s ruling, the draft defines conflict-era cases as “severe” and “others”, denying amnesty in cases under the first category. It says there will be no amnesty for extra-judicial killings, enforced disappearance, rape and torture while those involved in other criminal offences could get conditional reconciliation after fulfilling the given conditions. There would also be no statute of limitation for registering a case against the perpetrators.

Conflict victims at an interaction held on June 29 at the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) have rejected the draft amendment to transitional justice act that addressed none of their demands, reportsThe Himalayan Times. The Cabinet on June 28 decided to table the first amendment bill on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP). As per the bill, perpetrators will not get amnesty in serious human rights violations but could get waiver in sentences as per the prevailing laws — up to 60 per cent if they did not reveal the truth and did not assist the court, but if they assisted the court, revealed the truth, apologized to the victims and pledged not to commit such crimes again, they could get up to 75 per cent punishment waiver. The bill, which proposes to have retroactive effect, also proposes a maximum jail term of three years in other crimes, and provisions withdrawal of cases lodged by police officials against Maoist cadres. Perpetrators of other crimes could also be sent to open prison if they helped the cause of transitional justice and assisted the investigation. Expressing reservations over the provision of punishment waiver and open prison, Conflict Victims Common Platform Chairman Bhagi Ram Chaudhary said “After waiving 75 per cent of the sentence and other departmental actions faced by the perpetrators, there will virtually be no punishment left. Cases related to serious human rights violations should be addressed through the criminal justice system.” On the occasion, NHRC Chairman Anup Raj Sharma said a ‘syndicate’ of political parties was trying to sabotage the whole transitional justice process with an amendment draft that had been ‘translated’ and ‘guided by a motive’. “The draft is focused at providing immunity to perpetrators, and the whole design is to tire the victims. So we should not stop exerting pressure,” he said.

Four United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteurs David Kaye, Clement Nyaletsossi Voule, Michel Forst and Ahmed Shaheed on July 11 questioned several provisions of the National Integrity Policy (NIP) that the Government is preparing to introduce, reports Kathmandu Post. They have questioned several provisions of the policy, putting them into three major categories: definition and reporting requirements; restriction of scope of activities; and access to funding. The six-page document forwarded to Nepal’s permanent mission in Geneva states that if the policy is adopted in its current form, it may have negative impacts on the activities of organizations and civil society in general as it would severely impinge on the exercise of the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of association guaranteed under international human rights laws.

Sitaula charged that KP Oli-led Government was seizing fundamental rights of citizens. “The government’s indifference to the demands raised by Dr Govinda KC, who has been on hunger strike in Jumla since June 30, is evidence that the government is hell-bent on seizing people’s rights,” Sitaula said.

The opposition Nepali Congress (NC) at a meeting of senior NC leaders led by Vice-president Bimalendra Nidhi held at the party’s central office in Lalitpur District of Province 3 on July 17 announced a series of protests against the KP Sharma-led Government’s “authoritarian” rule, reports Kathmandu Post. Objecting to the Government’s “totalitarian” stance, NC lawmakers have hit back by disrupting House proceedings for the past few days. They have increased pressure on the Government to accede to the just demands of social activist and reformer Dr Govinda KC. He has been on an indefinite hunger strike since June 30 in Jumla, pressing for reforms in the country’s medical education. The NC backs Dr KC’s demand that the Government table the National Medical Education Bill in Parliament at the earliest retains the provisions of the health education ordinance that was in force until July 4.

Amnesty International (AI), the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) and TRIAL International on July 20 said that the Draft bill on transitional justice fraught with serious shortcomings, reports The Himalayan Times. “The legitimacy and viability of the Government of Nepal’s draft ‘Bill to Amend the Act on Commission on Investigation of Disappeared Persons, Truth and Reconciliation, 2014’ must be questioned due to the lack of a meaningful consultation process, and serious shortcomings when evaluated against international law and standards,” said Amnesty International, the International Commission of Jurists and TRIAL International today in their preliminary comments on the draft bill. While welcoming certain aspects of the draft bill, the three international human rights organizations identified weaknesses in the draft bill from an accountability perspective that, if not addressed, will contribute to impunity, they warned in a media advisory. “This is especially true when it comes to the failure to address the demand for reconstituting the current transitional justice commissions, ensure punishment proportionate to the gravity of the crimes and a need to comply with not just the ‘letter’ but also the ‘spirit’ of decisions by Nepal’s Supreme Court,” they said.

Various civil society organizations have asked the Government to introduce provisions, in the bill to amend the Enforced Disappearances Enquiry, Truth and Reconciliation Commission Act-2014, for reshuffling members of the two transitional justice bodies, reports Kathmandu Post on July 22. The Government in June unveiled its ‘zero draft’ of the bill to amend the law in line with the 2015 directive of the Supreme Court that ordered legal amendments in line with international standards. “Have a new set of commissioners, chosen for their merits and credentials in the field of human rights and women’s rights rather than their loyalty to a political party,” read the recommendations, calling for independence of the commissions. More than three years since their formation, the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) have not completed investigation into a single case. The CIEDP, which has received some 3,000 complaints, has completed preliminary probe into 500 cases so far but it has yet to begin detailed investigation. The progress of the TRC is worse. Out of some 63,000 complaints, it has completed preliminary investigation into 2,000 cases but not a single case has been fully probed. Civil society organizations argue that even if the law is strong, the transitional justice bodies will fail to deliver if their members are chosen for their loyalty rather than professional integrity and if the commissions are kept under the shadow of the Government.

The main opposition party, Nepali Congress (NC), has demanded the post of either Speaker or Deputy Speaker in Parliament, reports Republica on July 27. The party has maintained that the ruling Nepal Communist Party (NCP) has to give up either the post of either Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives (HoR) in line with the constitutional provision. While the erstwhile Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist Centre (CPN-Maoist Center) leader Krishna Bahadur Mahara was elected as Speaker, Shiva Maya Tumbahamphe of the erstwhile Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist-Leninist (CPN-UML) was elected to the post of Deputy Speaker of the HoR. But the two parties united later. The Article 912 (1) of the constitution states that the Speaker or Deputy Speaker should be from different political parties.

According to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA) the price of peace in Nepal is NR 166 billion and still counting, reports Republica on December 21. Although work on one of the three building blocks of the peace process – transitional justice for conflict victims — is yet to begin in earnest, a rough calculation of the money spent so far has reached the astounding figure of over NR 166 billion. The two other building blocks of the peace process were promulgating a new constitution through an elected Constituent Assembly (CA) and management of the erstwhile Maoist combatants. According to figures prepared by the Government, a total of NR 117.74 billion was spent for promulgating a new constitution through an elected CA. Another major expense the country had to bear for the ongoing peace process is the relief provided to conflict-affected individuals. Although the amount provided to conflict victims during 2016/17 is yet to be tallied from district administration offices (DAOs) across the country, the amount released after 2006 under the head of relief for those affected by the Maoist insurgency has totalled NR 17.34 billion. According to the MoHA, which now oversees the distribution of relief to conflict victims, the money was distributed to the kin of those killed during the insurgency, to single women and the families of the disappeared, among others. Each family of those killed in the course of the insurgency was provided NR 1 million. The Government spent NR 9.796 billion separately for cantonment management, while an additional Rs 1.544 billion was spent for the development of infrastructure in the cantonments. Altogether 17,052 erstwhile Maoist combatants participated in the verification process of integration into the Nepal Army. While 15,642 ex-combatants chose rehabilitation into society, another 1,422 chose integration. The ex-combatants who opted for voluntary rehabilitation were provided a package of NR 500,000 to 800,000, depending on their rank in the Maoist armed outfit.
