Dispute Resolution Committee – 2015

While some major issues related to federalism, form of government, judiciary, and electoral system remained contested, a high level political mechanism involving senior leaders from major political parties continued to meet. After the earthquake on 12 May, senior leaders from major political parties prioritized finding solutions to disputed issues and finalizing the constitution drafting process in order to focus on post-earthquake reconstruction. As of 3 June 2015, leaders from major political parties are engaged in dialogue with hope to resolve disputed issues within days.¹ Most of the disputes except for the demarcation of the boundary for the provinces were settled and the CA passed the draft constitution on 7 July 2015.² For the boundary demarcation, the drafting committee suggested the establishment of a federal commission, which was mentioned in the draft constitution.
