Truth and Reconciliation Commission

The Unified CPN-Maoist and CPN-Maoist have voiced alarm at the same time over the decision made by the Supreme Court a few days ago pertaining to the newly formed Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Commission for Inquiry into Enforced Disappearance. Jointly issuing a press communique' today, Chairman of Unified-Maoist Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' and CPN-Maoist Chairman Mohan Baidhya have stated that the apex court's ruling that the cases of the conflict period would be relevant with criminal law and general court procedures would be against the peace agreement. They have also demanded the revocation of the SC's ruling. The press release demands the cases of the conflict period sub- judice at the government bodies and National Human Rights Commission be forwarded to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in their existing states. It states that the peace agreement could be breached and the country could again head to conflict if the conflict related cases are not immediately sent to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
