Kathmandu: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has expressed his commitment to provide all necessary facilitation from the government to make the work of the two transitional justice commissions successful. Addressing the National Conference on Transitional Justice organized by the Accountability Monitoring Committee and conflict-affected organizations today, Prime Minister Oli reviewed why the previous work of the two transitional justice commissions was not successful and emphasized that all responsible parties should work to make the work of the coming days successful.
He assured that the government would be active in providing justice and reparations to the victims, ensuring that unnecessary and unjustified violence in the past would not happen again, and recalled that the law on transitional justice was passed by consensus by the parliament to bring the peace process to a conclusion.
After the law on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission on Enforced Disappearances was passed by the parliament, the recommendation committee formed earlier for the appointment of the officials of those commissions did not reach a consensus and after the term of that committee expired, the government, in consultation with the major parties, made another recommendation. The committee has been formed.
‘All Nepali people want to forget the wounds of the conflict. We have left the path of violence. Let such things not happen again, let us provide justice to the victims. When the peace process has not been completed for eighteen years, it has become embarrassing for us to show our faces at the international level, so now we must be serious about completing the work. Action will be taken against those who violate serious human rights.’, Prime Minister Oli said, ‘There is no need to continue talking about celebrating the People’s War or trying to celebrate it by giving it a public holiday. Such things can make the victim even more victimized.’
At the program attended by Nepali Congress President and former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, Prime Minister Oli emphasized the need for continued support and cooperation from the international community to complete transitional justice, and said that Nepal is making efforts to find a solution to this process in an original way. He also urged not to present such unnecessary issues in a joint manner as transitional justice-related work and the issue of removing employees of any government agency are not comparable. Prime Minister Oli also clarified that the country cannot go back since a federal democratic republic achieved through the people’s struggle has been established.
