Amnesty Calls for Urgent Action in Nepal
Amnesty Calls for Urgent Action in Nepal Government rejects international criticisms Email Article Print Article Maina Dhital (maina) Amnesty International has called on the international community for urgent action into Nepal's political instability and violent insurgency. Issuing a press statement from its headquarters in London, Amnesty has said that ten years of war and political instability have turned the human rights situation in Nepal into one of the worst in the world. It has also urged the international community to review Nepal's participation in peacekeeping operations abroad, given the Royal Nepalese Army's poor human rights record at home. Nepal has been participating in U.N. peacekeeping operations for half a century. Amnesty has also urged those foreign governments that continue to supply weapons to Nepal to impose an arms embargo until the human rights situation has significantly improved. "The people of Nepal have lived through far too much violence already," Irene Khan, the Secretary General of Amnesty, said. "Without urgent action from the international community and all parties in Nepal, a new generation will grow up knowing nothing but bloodshed and conflict."
