Nepali Congress leader Bhishma Raj Angdembe criticized the government for creating 'institutional emptiness' by dismissing officials in transitional justice bodies, including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons. Angdembe stated that this inaction prolongs the wait for justice for conflict victims and complicates the transitional justice process. He urged the government to immediately appoint capable and impartial individuals to these commissions.

  • Angdembe accused the government of political partisanship and a strategy to empty sensitive institutions, noting that no institution is exempt.
  • He highlighted that conflict victims have not received justice even two decades after the Comprehensive Peace Accord, a concern also shared by the international community.
  • A United Nations Special Rapporteur, Bernard Duhaime, is scheduled to visit Nepal in June to assess the status of transitional justice.
  • Angdembe pointed out that the third amendment to the TRC Act in 2024 has not resolved all weaknesses and suggested a fourth amendment to address legal loopholes before appointing new officials.
