A/HRC/7/3/Add.2 page 96 from peacekeeping missions. Comments to the last report included a critical analysis of and serious concerns about an army list of personnel excluded from peacekeeping missions on the grounds of having violated human rights. Virtually the same list was included in a November 2007 document provided by the Army to OHCHR, indicating that the NA has not progressed in identifying or punishing those responsible for systematic and serious human rights violations during the conflict. 496. According to the Government, security personnel are vetted against their record of human rights violations and violations of international humanitarian laws. Since 15 May 2005, the Nepal Army has implemented the policy that those who are found guilty of human rights violations are disqualified from participating in the UN peacekeeping missions. Nepal police and the Armed Police Force have also implemented similar policies. (see A/HRC/4/33/Add.2, para. 479). Similarly, human rights have become an integral part of the pre-deployment training package for personnel to be deployed as UN peace-keepers. 497. Recommendation (s) stated: The Special Rapporteur calls on the Maoists to end torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment and to stop the practice of involuntary recruitment, in particular of women and children. 498. According to OHCHR , CPN-M cadres themselves have been responsible for a number of abductions or assaults on journalists, members of political parties or others, as well as one disappearance. Of the five alleged killings by CPN-M cadres since the CPA, one of the victims was a journalist and another was a member of a political party. Although the number of abductions, assault, ill-treatment and other abuses by CPN-M dropped significantly immediately after the signing of the CPA, there has been a resurgence since April 2007 and particularly in October/November, against the backdrop of the political crisis. 499. Abductions were primarily but not exclusively reported in the context of “law enforcement” activities, or enforcement of the CPN-M’s social norms, for example with regard to “illicit” sexual relations. Some also occurred during the disruption of political activities described above. In many cases, those abducted appear to have been interrogated – and sometimes severely beaten. The period of captivity usually lasts for a few hours or several days although some have been held for up to a week or more, with the victims either then being handed over to police or released. It should be noted that since the CPA, CPN-M cadres have more frequently handed individuals suspected of crimes to the police and in some places police have described the collaboration as positive. Nevertheless, taking individuals to undisclosed locations for interrogation and sometime ill-treatment or torture violates the most basic of human rights principles. In several cases, individuals have been handed over to the police with visible injuries allegedly due to beatings without any action being taken to sanction the ill-treatment or torture. Disappearances and killings are the worst consequences of these practices, which undermine the commitments of the CPN-M to uphold human rights. 500. With regard to children under-18 associated with the People’s Liberation Army, 2973 were verified as being present in the PLA (Peoples´ Liberation Army) cantonment
