International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances Observed
Kathmandu, 30 August 2015: Advocacy Forum-Nepal (AF) - together with Conflict Victims Groups, Human Rights Organizations (National and International) and National Human Rights Commission organized a series of programs (discussion program, theatre performance, poem recital, candle lightning and other numbers of activities) focusing on the issues of disappearances to commemorate International Day of the Victims of Enforced Disappearances, 2015 on 28th, 29th and 30th August in Biratnagar, Dhanusha, Kaski, Rupendehi, Banke, Kanchanpur and Kathmandu.
On 29th of August, AF and TRIAL jointly released Media Kit (see attachment for details) which summarizes the United Nations Human Right Committee's decision on conflict era cases of enforced disappearances in Nepal and failure of Nepal's government to implement those decisions. AF and TRIAL once again urged the government of Nepal for prompt initiation for the implementation of UN views and recommendations.
Advocacy Forum-Nepal urges to the government of Nepal to ratify the Convention on Enforced Disappearances and enact domestic laws criminalizing enforced disappearances; amend the TRC/COID Act in line with the decisions of the Supreme Court of Nepal and ensure that the two new commissions respect international standards and fully guarantee victims’ rights, investigate the cases of enforced disappearances; bring perpetrators to justice and provide adequate reparation to the victims and their families.
