Nepal has postponed a planned visit by a UN Special Rapporteur on transitional justice, citing a lack of appointed officials within key commissions. The visit by Duhaime was originally scheduled for June but was cancelled due to outstanding vacancies. Despite citing this lack of staffing as the reason, the government has made minimal progress in filling these crucial positions. These commissions are responsible for investigating war-era abuses, a key component of Nepal’s peace process. The delay raises concerns about the government’s commitment to addressing past human rights violations. Critics suggest the postponement is linked to political stalling tactics surrounding transitional justice mechanisms. The lack of progress hinders efforts to provide accountability and closure for victims of the decade-long conflict.
