Transitional justice issues should be resolved promptly by making them victim-friendly: NHRC

The National Human Rights Commission said that transitional justice issues should be resolved promptly by making them victim-friendly.

Holding a discussion with concerned stakeholders, NHRC Chairman Tap Bahadur Magar said that the transitional justice issues should be resolved at the earliest on the basis of the suggestions given by the Commission.

He opined that the Bill on Transitional Justice has been suggested frequently to be amended in accordance with international principles, Supreme Court orders and recommendations of the Commission.

Magar further said that the Commission has also been drawing the attention of the government not to grant amnesty in the cases of disappearances, extrajudicial killings, kidnappings, torture, rape, and sexual violence.

He asserted that it would be difficult to resolve the transitional justice issues without the joint efforts of the people, who participated in the war, victims, and the government among others.
