UN concerned over recent Govt. decisions to appoint, pardon and promote alleged perpetrators of human rights violations

 

KATHMANDU – 10 November 2011 – The United Nations Human Rights Office in Nepal (OHCHR-Nepal) today expressed concern over a series of recent decisions by the Government of Nepal to appoint, promote or pardon public officials implicated in serious crimes and human rights abuses in Nepal. Such decisions, taken in relation to both senior politicians and officials of Nepal’s security forces, undermine efforts to address impunity in the country, and taint recent positive progress on the peace process.
