Speaking in the program Advocacy Forum's Chairperson Mandira Sharma said that the adoption of the bills through ordinance would not be acceptable to victims, victims' families and human rights defenders under any circumstances. "The government passed a law curtailing the power of National Human Rights Commission immediately after the exit of the Office of United Nation High Commissioner on Human Rights in Nepal (OHCHR-Nepal). In this condition the government's attempt to pass the bills through ordinance seems preplanned," she said. She further said that there might be multiple causes behind the passing of the bills through ordinance. Firstly, human rights organizations will oppose the bills if they are passed through ordinance and the government will have a chance to accuse them of non-cooperating on human rights issues. Secondly, there would be no discussion on the content of the bills. Thirdly, the government will accept the bill only under its current form, and would let it fail if it comes under question by other parties. The government had not established the commissions for three years after the election of Constituent Assembly (CA). That it is now trying to form the commission through ordinance after the dissolution of the CA proves that the government is not sensitive towards the demands of victims. If these laws are passed through ordinance they would not comply with the norms and standards entrenched in international law and in treaties of which Nepal is party. The bills passed through ordinance can't address the demands of victims. Likewise, the political parties are not willing to address the human sensitivity which is one of their big weaknesses.

In the program, Basil Fernando, a Sri Lankan national and Policy and Program Director of AHRC, Hong Kong said, "Nepal and Sri Lanka are passing through the same stages. Till 1971 Sri Lanka was a very prosperous country but the politicians, for petty reasons, divided the people along the lines of language, culture and territory and faced an internal war which lasted for decades. He further said that AHRC worked for the promotion and protection of human rights in Nepal during the autocratic rule of Kings in Nepal but even after the reinstatement of democracy the human rights situation in Nepal is not much improved. The subsequent governments are withdrawing criminal cases too instead of prosecuting them which damages the rule of law and human rights protection in Nepal.

In the program the participants had raised various issues of human rights in Nepal and discussed on them.
