In a bid to restart the long-stalled transitional justice process, at a meeting on January 6, Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali said that Government will hold consultations with conflict victims and other stakeholders in all seven Provinces from January 13, reports Republica. According to Government officials, consultations will be held in two sessions – one session exclusively for conflict victims and another round of consultations together with all the stakeholders. The consultations will primarily focus on how to address the concerns raised by conflict victims and other stakeholders while drafting the laws and on ways to resolve the insurgency era-cases.

Presenting a memorandum to Minister of Foreign Affairs Pradeep Gyawali, the Conflict Victims’ Common Platform (CVCP) on January 6 demanded that the transitional justice act be amended on the basis of the Supreme Court’s verdict of January 2, 2013, which states any amendment or new act should be drafted by a drafting task force including victims, experts and human rights activists. The CVCP said the process of appointment of members to two transitional justice commissions should start only after the amendment of the act. The commissions — Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) — have remained vacant since the office-bearers retired in mid-April. A recommendation committee led by former chief justice Om Prakash Mishra has published a list of 61 candidates aspiring for TRC and CIEDP posts. However, former CVCP Chairperson Suman Adhikari said “None of the 61 candidates are competent enough to lead the commissions as no competent person wants to lead such toothless commissions. We suggested amendment to the act in line with SC verdicts to empower the commissions and search for competent office-bearers.”

Bhagiram Chaudhari, Chairperson of the Conflict Victims’ Common Platform (CVCP), said that cobnflict victims have lost all hope that the incumbent Government and the political parties will ensure that the transitional justice process is victim-friendly, reports Kathmandu Post on January 9. In an interaction with Law Minister Pradeep Gyawali on January 5 and 6, victims’ representatives had asked that thorough discussions be held with victims across the country before taking the legal amendment process forward. The Law Ministry, however, has scheduled interactions in all provincial headquarters for a single day, on January 13, with inputs from all the concerned parties, including victims, human rights activists, civil society members and local leaders. “It is clear the consultation is nothing but a formality to show the world that the government talked to concerned parties before the amendment,” said Bhagiram Chaudhari. Chaudhari further expressed concern that the transitional justice process was becoming increasingly opaque.

Conflict victims have urged the Government to suspend the process initiated to appoint commissioners for key Transitional Justice (TJ) bodies at least until the new law is promulgated, reports My Republica on January 11. On January 10, Primary victim groups--Conflict Victims' Common Platform (CVCP) and National Network of Disabled Conflict Victims –(NNDCV) threatened to stay away from the TJ process. Both the groups warned of boycotting the TJ process if their demands were ignored, while conflict victims have announced to reject their participation in national consultations scheduled for January 13, 2020. “Since the consultation scheduled for January 13 is just for the sake of consultation and not meaningful as demanded by the victims, it’s not acceptable to us,” reads the statement issued by CVCP. After spending 10 months without doing anything substantive to complete the given assignment, a committee formed to suggest commissioners for the two commissions - Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) - has reportedly finalized the probable candidates. The recommendation process is now said to be delayed until the consultations are organized.

Senior Police officials said faced with massive Police crackdown that has left the party’s organizational structure in shambles in recent months, the outlawed CPN-Maoist-Chand has devised a new strategy to ‘accumulate strength’, while making its presence felt through explosions time and again, reports Republica on January 12. Senior Police officials have concluded that the Chand-led outlawed Maoist group has devised this new strategy as nearly 1,300 party senior leaders including 260 central level leaders have been arrested so far after the government banned their activities in early March 2019.

Conflict victims decried Government’s consultations held on January 13 as a sham, reports Kathmandu Post. As victims and human rights defenders had feared, the consultations held simultaneously in all seven provincial headquarters — Biratnagar, Janakpur, Hetauda, Pokhara, Butwal, Surkhet and Dhangadi were more formality than genuine efforts to listen to their grievances and concerns. The consultations were held in two sessions—three hours with victims and another three hours with human rights defenders, civil society members, security forces and the media. Conflict victims and human rights defenders described the entire process as a farce. “Some of our friends couldn’t even put forth their concerns due to time constraints. Rather than listening to our voices, the discussion was aimed at showing that the government has taken our feedback to amend the Act,” Badri KC, a conflict victim from Baglung who was present at the consultation in Pokhara, told. “The discussion was just a formality. I am not at all hopeful about our concerns being incorporated in the Act,” Shree Kumari Budha, whose father was killed by the Maoists in Thawang, Rolpa and who was present at the consultation in Butwal, told. Former Conflict Victims Common Platform (CVCP) chairperson Suman Adhikari said “The victims were only given three hours. This means, the government is holding the consultations in a ritualistic manner.”

Human Rights Watch (HRW) in its World Report 2020 said on January 15 that the Government of Nepal is rolling out a series of laws to undermine the freedom of expression, while denying justice to victims of conflict-era abuses, reports The Himalayan Times. According to the report, the KP Sharma Oli-led Government proposed amendments to the law related to transitional justice, but they did not meet international standards that could ensure trial for those most responsible for the worst crimes committed during the conflict. “Instead, the current government, like its predecessors, continued to resist amending the transitional justice legislation to abide by the landmark 2015 Supreme Court ruling, which struck down key components of the current law, such as provisions that would allow amnesty even for perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity,” it warned.

Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Co-chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who led the 10-year long Maoist insurgency from 1996 to 2006, on January 15 said the allegation that he was responsible for 17,000 conflict-era killings was false, but added that he was ready to take responsibility of 5,000 deaths, reports The Himalayan Times. “Please check the statistics. The then state killed 12,000 people. If you hold me responsible for the killing of 5,000 persons, I am ready to accept it,” said Dahal at a programme held at Tundikhel on the occasion of Maghi festival. Dahal also reiterated that he would take full responsibility of the ‘people’s war’. “I take full responsibility of all good and bad work of the war.

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.
