since impunity for perpetrators of
human rights violations is quasitotal, it seems that this type of
vetting does not reach many alleged
perpetrators.
Non-governmental sources: The NA
has not progressed in identifying or
punishing those responsible for
systematic and serious human rights
violations during the conflict. The
list of army personnel excluded from
peacekeeping missions on the
grounds of having violated human
rights was virtually the same list
included in a November 2007
document provided by the Army to
OHCHR.
(s) 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.
The instances of extortion,
kidnapping and intimidation by the
Maoists have declined significantly
after the signing of the peace
agreement.
Non-governmental sources:
Although the number of abductions,
assault, ill-treatment and other
abuses by CPN-M dropped
significantly immediately after the
signing of the Comprehensive Peace
Agreement and further reduced after
April 2008, reports of such abuses
by the Young Communist League
(YCL) have continued.

Non-governmental sources: Women
are continued to be tortured, illtreated and sexually harassed by the
police. For example, during
investigations, women report being
Nepal Army as well as police officials
against whom there are credible
allegations of human rights violations
continue to be nominated for UN
posts or for participation in DPKO
operations.
Non-governmental sources: The
number of abductions, assaults, illtreatment and other abuses by the
CPN-M dropped significantly
immediately after the signing of CPA
and after elections. However, abusive
activities continue to be reported
particularly intimidation, and
interference in decision making
processes at the local level. There has
been no accountability for past acts of
violence, including torture, by Maoist
cadres during the conflict. The CPNM has failed to cooperate with
ongoing police investigations into
incidents of torture and killings.
Non-governmental sources:
Mistreatment of women in police
custody continues to be an issue of
concern.
A/HRC/13/39/Add.6
Torture and ill-treatment against
women
The Special Rapporteur also
received shocking evidence of
torture carried out by the Maoists.
Nepal Army has been unwilling to
make public the information relating
to internal vetting processes.
