Impunity has become the greatest challenge in Nepal. This issue attracted great attention even during Nepal’s Universal periodic review at the UN Human Rights Council. Non-implementation of decisions of the Supreme Court and government reluctance to abide by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)’s recommendations to bring the perpetrators of grave human rights violation to justice has left the international community wondering.

The political parties inability to accept people’s general concerns as their common agenda, lack of national consensus on implementation of the past agreements and the parties indulgence in their factional interests rather than having the will, courage and capacity to honesty serve the people are the obstacles to constitution making. These are the reasons holding back the resolution of Nepal’s peace process. (jacket)
