A/HRC/4/33/Add.2 Page 76 investigación e integración de casos que podrían constituir violaciones a los derechos humanos de los defensores civiles. En este mismo sentido, la CNDH establece comunicación con cada uno de los defensores y realiza una investigación a fin de determinar si el asunto constituye una violación a derechos humanos o bien se trata de hechos que no se imputan a alguna autoridad o servidor público. 409. En el ámbito de la promoción y difusión de los derechos humanos, la CNDH, a través de la Secretaria Técnica del Consejo Consultivo, cuenta con un Programa de Relaciones con Organizaciones Sociales. Para la CNDH es fundamental establecer vínculos de colaboración permanentes con las organizaciones no gubernamentales, para articular esfuerzos en la búsqueda de soluciones a la problemática en materia de derechos humanos. Nepal Follow-up to the recommendations made by the Special Rapporteur in the report of his visit to Nepal in September 2005 (E/CN.4/2006/6/Add.5). 410. The Special Rapporteur notes that the restoration of the House of Representatives in April 2006, the naming of a Prime Minister and the announcement of ceasefires by both sides has had a positive impact with regard to stopping incommunicado detention and torture of those suspected of belonging to the Communist Party of Nepal – Maoist (CPN-M). However, the question of accountability for torture, the routine torture and ill-treatment of criminal suspects by police, and limitations on rights to due process, as well as issues related to the use of excessive force remain to be addressed. The Special Rapporteur expresses continued concern about abuses committed by CPN-M in the context of their “law enforcement” activities, including deaths in captivity, torture and ill-treatment, incommunicado detention in buildings which are not places of detention. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) signed on 21 November 2006 prohibits arbitrary detention, abduction, disappearances and torture/ill-treatment and sets out commitments by both parties “not to encourage impunity.” 411. Recommendation (a) stated: The highest authorities, particularly those responsible for law enforcement activities, declare unambiguously that the culture of impunity must end and that torture and ill treatment by public officials will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted; 412. According to information received from NGOs and other sources, in spite of affirmations by state authorities that torture will not be tolerated and that those responsible will be punished, there is little evidence that this is the case. The legislative framework remains weak, and no state official has been prosecuted and sentenced by an independent court (see below). 413. As indicated above, the 21 November CPA prohibits torture and arbitrary detention by both parties: 5.2.2. Both sides agree to make public the status of the people under one's custody and release them within 15 days. (Comment: This provision suggests that all prisoners will be released, but it is not clear how it will be interpreted.)
