A/HRC/7/3/Add.2 page 82 In the view of the Special Rapporteur, such a mechanism could be situated within NHRCM; 408.

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, paras. 33-35). 411. The Government provided information by letters dated 7 March 2007 and 25 January 2008. 412. The Special Rapporteur expresses concern at reports that the implementation of the new constitutional and legal provisions in many cases is still flawed and that impunity for current and past crimes continues; that not one member of the armed forces or the CPN-M (Communist Party of Nepal – Maoist) cadres has been brought to criminal justice for acts of torture committed during the conflict. He is also concerned about the attempts at granting amnesties for severe human rights violations. 413. 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; 414. According to the Office of the United Nations High Commission for Human Rights (OHCHR), in spite of statements by the authorities that they are committed to ending impunity, in 2007, as in previous years, perpetrators of killings, torture and other violence enjoyed almost total impunity whether in the case of human rights violations committed by the State, abuses committed by CPN-M cadres or criminal acts of violence committed by armed groups, those involved in violent protests or violence stemming from discriminatory practices. Likewise, those responsible for gross violations and abuses during the conflict have yet to be prosecuted. The lack of commitment on the part of the authorities to address these issues is deeply worrying.
