The National Human Rights Commission has concluded

The National Human Rights Commission has concluded that the state is unresponsive to rights violation cases and this has impacted conflict victims, disaster victims, and victims of other socio-economic factors.

NHRC member and Spokesperson Mohna Ansari said the government was somewhat responding to reparation appeals and recommendations made by the NHRC, while other recommendations regarding legal prosecution were ignored or simply dumped.The national human rights watchdog provides two types of recommendations — providing reparations and taking legal action — in cases of rights violation. She also said the government didn’t respond to the recommendation to provide food to the drought-hit Karnali region and to supply water to many quake-affected districts.
“In a recent case wherein a child died while standing to welcome the prime minister in Surkhet, police simply refused to register a First Information Report,” Ansari told THT on the occasion of the 68th International Human Rights Day. “It’s an insult to the NHRC as well as a crime against the child.”
A 13-year-old girl died recently in Surkhet when she was waiting in line to welcome Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who had visited the district to inaugurate a business fair.
