2008

Minimum Implementation Minimal implementation

According to the UN Secretary General’s report, the Ministry of Peace and Reconciliation continued to work towards establishing a Truth and Reconciliation Commission. However, the OHCHR-Nepal insisted on a comprehensive and inclusive consultation process.1

In an effort to establish the TRC, the Council of Ministers on 25 June 2008 singed an agreement that recommitted their parties to establish several commissions, including the TRC.2 This recommitment, however, did not materialize due to the delay in the formation of the government.
