Background |
|
In Nepal, after the end of a ten year armed conflict, the victims of human rights violations started to organize themselves with the support of human rights NGOs working on transitional justice (TJ) issues. There are more than 50 victims groups organized in different forums in Nepal. Victims of human rights violations during the conflict have increasingly felt that they are largely excluded in addressing their real needs and aspirations in the transitional justice debate which was highly focused on issues of justice. Despite their involvement in the discussion around the transitional justice, the different conflict victims felt that they were not recognized as an independent actor or the beneficiary of the whole transitional justice process, but were treated as a secondary element in the TJ process. Thus, they have remain fragmented, their voice was ignored and their concern was never regarded as a common voice. Despite the lack of trust among some conflict victims’ groups, the conflict victims’ groups have established a working relationship to advocate for a victim centric transitional justice process asking for their recognition in the overall transitional justice process. While their demand is for the participatory, inclusive and transparent transitional process, they are also actively involved in the advocacy for the TJ mechanisms to be incompliance with the international human rights principle. The TJRC was launched in July 2011 and closed in 2014. The TJRC was established to enhance local knowledge of TJ issues, support effective public participation, especially of the conflict victims in the TJ process, and contribute towards the objective of promoting and protecting the voices of those who seek truth, justice and peace in Nepal. The objectives of the TJRC were:
This project will reestablish the TJRC as a centre to support the work of victims groups and in particular the Conflict Victims Common Platform to advocate and run activities to support victims of the conflict in Nepal.
