KATHMANDU: National Human Rights Foundation (HURFON) on Wednesday has expressed its serious concerns over the Commission on the Inquiry of the Disappeared and Truth and Reconciliation Ordinance-2069, demanding not to promulgate the Ordinance sans agreement among the stakeholders and the political parties.
“The Ordinance which is meant to give amnesty to the government officials who had committed grave crimes during the armed conflict is against the universal human rights norms, Comprehensive Peace Agreement and Supreme Court’s principles,” HURFON said in a statement issued today.
HURFON has also urged the government to dispense justice to the conflict victims at the earliest and has asked the concerned authority not to implement the Ordinance without consulting the concerned persons as well as with the political parties.
