Foreword

! e history of subjecting people to enforced disappearances in Nepal goes back to more than half a century. Such an anti-human rights activity has continued in Nepal for some 60 years until today though its degree has fl uctuated in di" erent periods. ! e fi rst recorded case of enforced disappearances in Nepal took place during the protest programs organized against the Delhi Tripartite Agreement in 1951. Ram Prasad Rai, who was involved in the protest against the agreement, was disappeared by the state and his whereabouts remain un-known. Similarly, Sukdev Singh of Hanumannagar in Saptari district was arrested in Inaruwa in the same district in 2013 B.S. and he also remains disappeared since then.

! e trend of subjecting people to disappearance increased with the introduction of au-tocratic Panchayat regime by the king Mahendra in 1961. A committee led by Surya Bahadur Shakya and comprising of Senior Advocate Basudev Dhungana, Dr Sachche Kumar Pahadi and Late Prakash Kaphle as the members was formed on July 31, 1990 for fi nding out the whereabouts of the people disappeared by Panchayat regime. ! e committee submitted their report to the then Prime Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai on April 21, 1991. However, no recommendation of the committee has been implemented as yet.

People were hopeful that the act of disappearing would cease following the restora-tion of democracy. However, the trend of systematic act of enforced disappearance emerged with the spread of armed insurgency. ! e culture of impunity which had been consolidating historically in Nepal, also encouraged the acts of enforced disappearance. As a result of in-stitutional sanctuary provided to impunity, there still exists a tradition where state shuts eyes to grave human rights violations. It is high time that the Government of Nepal ratifi es the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance to prevent such acts of heinous crime in the future.

During the armed insurgency, state proceeded with the act of enforced disappear-ance in a planned manner. On the other hand, the rebelling party, CPN-M, also strived to make people disappear following abductions. Both the confl icting parties of the past adopted abduction and disappearance of persons as a part of war strategy. As a result, Nepal gained the notoriety of being the country with the highest number of enforced disappearances in the world. In light of this record, Chairperson Rapporteur of the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances Stephen J Toope and the member of the Working Group Saeed Rajaie Khorasani visited Nepal from 6-14 December in 2004. Prior to the visit, the Working Group had corresponded to the Government of Nepal by expressing concerns

over the 531 people in Nepal, who were subjected to enforced disappearances from 1980 to 2007. Based on the recommendations made by the Working Group, some laws have now been amended. A bill on Disappearance has been tabled in the parliament for the approval. However, there are demands for rectifi cation of many provisions of the bill. ! e signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the Government and the CPN-M on November 21, 2006 formally concluded the armed confl ict. However, families of the persons subjected to disappearances are awaiting implementation of the commitments expressed in the CPA. Tellingly, the CPA has a provision of fi nding out the whereabouts of the disap-peared people within 60 days from the day of signature.

! is book contains updated details of 930 people who were subjected to enforced dis-appearance by the state as well as the then rebel, CPN-M. Political parties have failed to make headway as to fi nding out their fate and whereabouts even after completion of four years of the signing of the CPA. So, let’s all ask- What are the fate and whereabouts of the people subjected to enforced disappearances ?

About the Book

! is book is translated version of ‘Uniharu Kaha Chhan ? Part 3’, published by IN-SEC in 2010.

It contains only details of persons involuntarily disappeared by the confl icting parties during the armed confl ict that began on from February 13, 1996 and concluded on Novem-ber 21, 2006. It does not contain details of persons, who were involved in the armed confl ict and reported missing. However, their names and addresses are included in Annex 1.

E" orts have been made to make the details used in the book as reliable as possible. 75 district representatives of INSEC visited victims’ homes in order to confi rm and re-confi rm the incidents and details. No incidents of enforced disappearances were found in Tehrathum, Sarlahi, Dolakha, Manang, Mustang, Palpa, Gulmi, Pyuthan, Dolpa, Humla, Bajhang and Darchula districts.

INSEC is continuously monitoring the details of the people subjected to enforced disappearances. ! ere might be some changes in the data presented in this book as records are updated on the basis of fresh information. Since the publication of Nepali version of this book one of the people recorded as disappeared, Dangali Rokaya of Mugu district, has returned home. So, we request you to visit our website- http://www.insec.org.np/victim/ for updated data and details.

ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES IN NEPAL:

A BRIEF ANALYSIS

3

1. Background ! e history of disappearances

carried out by state agencies in Nepal can be traced back to 1951. ! e whereabouts of Ram Prasad Rai, who was actively involved in the protests against the Delhi Agreement signed in 1951, are still unknown. Similarly, the whereabouts of Sukdev Singh of Hanumannagar, Saptari, who was arrested from Inaruwa of the same district in 1956, is still not known. ! e trend of arbitrary arrest and disappearance of people increased in the authoritarian Panchayat era of 1961 - 1989. Such acts have continued, even after the restoration of democracy in 1990.

Incidents of disappearance by the state increased signifi cantly after the CPN-M launched the ‘people’s war’ on February 13, 1996. ! e fi gures soared once the State of Emergency was declared on November 26, 2001 and the Terrorist and Destructive Act (Control and Punishment) Ordinance was issued subsequently. ! e CPN-M was also responsible for the forceful abduction and disappearance of people because they adopted abduction as a part of their war strategy.

One of the major causes of pain to the Nepalese people, in the context of the prevailing state of impunity, is enforced disappearance and the unanswered questions of the victim’s families regarding the act. Although existing national legal provisions do not criminalize the act of enforced disappearance, international laws are in place to protect individuals. ! e acts of enforced disappearance were carried

out in a widespread and organized manner during the armed confl ict.1 Even after four years of the formal conclusion of the armed confl ict, neither has the status of the disappeared persons been made public nor have any formal mechanisms been set up to fi nd the perpetrators.

2. Enforced Disappearance in Nepal2.1 During Panchayat Era

! ere was no evidence of enforced disappearances during the 104 years of the authoritarian Rana Regime or even before that. Rather, the political opponents or anti-government persons were executed by the government. Ram Prasad Rai is the fi rst known victim of enforced disappearance in Nepal. State agencies practiced the act of enforced disappearances in Nepal since 1951.

Historical examples of enforced disappearances will be detailed here. ! e whereabouts of Rudra Prasad Bhattarai from the Ramechhap District and Kalyan Rai, a resident of Ravi in the Panchathar District are still unknown. ! ey were arrested in 1960 and 1961 respectively. Baikuntha Adhikari and Sete Gurung from the Dhading District and Dakman Tamang and Pasang Tamang from the Panchathar District, who were arrested in 1961, remain disappeared to date. ! e whereabouts of Harihar Ray Yadav from the Sarlahi District are also unknown. He was arrested in 1979. Similarly, the whereabouts of Lal Bahadur Rai of Ambarpur VDC in the Panchathar District are still unknown. ! e date of his disappearance has not been

confi rmed. Although it is not known whether

they were arrested or not, the whereabouts of political activists Maheshwar Chaulagain, Govinda Prasad Dahal, Tikaram Adhikari, Ramhari Dahal and Pahalman Sarki from Okhaldhunga, Keshar Bahadur Khadka from Ramechhap, Shri Harsha Khanal from Chitwan, Jit Bahadur Sinjali (Rana) from Syangja, Harsha Bahadur Pradhan from Lamjung, Shankar Prasad Sharma (Regmi) from Salyan, Ganesh Raj Gautam from Banke and Balbhadra Joshi from Baitadi also remain unknown.

Following the Bomb Explosion Scandal of June 20, 1985, Padma Bahadur Moktan (Padam Lama), Ishwar Chandra Lama (Ishwar Lama), Dr Laxmi Narayan Jha, Satyanaran Jha and Surya Nath Ray (Yadav) from Dhanusa and Dilip

Chaudhary and Shaket Chandra Mishra from the Saptari district were arrested and subjected to enforced disappearaces by the security forces.2

A committee was formed on July 31, 1990 comprising of senior advocate Basudev Dhungana, Dr Sachche Kumar Pahadi and Late Prakash Kafl e, with Surya Bahadur Shakya as their chair, to fi nd out about the persons disappeared during the struggle for democracy. Its report, submitted to the then PM Krishna Prasad Bhattarai on April 21, 1991, stated that there were at least 27 persons disappeared after 1960 and seven during the Bomb Attack in 1985. ! e report also mentioned that of those seven, fi ve had been killed. However, the recommendations of their report are yet to be implemented.3

2.2 Disappearance after the Restoration of Democracy

! e trend of disappearances did not come to an end even after the restoration of democracy in 1990. During the local elections of 1992, police arrested Bhuwan Lal ! apa Magar from Doramba VDC in the Ramechhap District; he remains disappeared since May 23, 1992. ! e government has neither made his status public nor has it informed his family members of the details of the incident.

Similarly, Prabhakar Subedi, 20, a resident of Butwal Municipality-6 in the Rupandehi District was arrested by police from Ratnapark, Kathmandu on June 25, 1993 and was subsequently disappeared. A student of the Pulchowk Engineering Campus in Lalitpur, Subedi was arrested by police in connection with a protest which had been organised by the Communist Party of Nepal-UML (CPN-UML) and supported by other communist parties in

Kathmandu. He was seriously beaten up and injured by the police. Photographs of unconscious Subedi being dragged away by the police were published in media reports. A case was fi led at the Supreme Court on October 1, 1993 regarding the incident; however, fi ve years later, the Court dismissed the case on December 1, 1998. Subedi’s whereabouts are still unknown.

Even after the establishment of democracy, state seemed reluctant to take action against the personnel involved in enforced disappearance and to provide justice to the victims. Most probably, this reluctance also encouraged human rights violations, including enforced disappearances.

2.3. Armed Confl ict and the Trend of Enforced Disappearances

! e disappearance of persons occurred in two ways during the armed confl ict. ! e fi rst was that the persons

6

were forced to disappear by the confl icting parties and the second is the disappearance that occurred when a person went missing while voluntarily participating in the struggle. Both categories of disappearances are of the state’s concern.

! e incident reported in the media regarding the disappearance of Bikas Gandharva during the UCPN-M’s plenum in Palungtar, Gorkha, falls into the second category. ! e incidents of disappearance should be examined in the context of human rights on the basis of the defi nitions provided in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Protection of the Persons against Enforced Disappearance.

! e news that Samundra Kumari

Gandharva of Gorkha fainted in front of the Maoist leaders after learning that her son Bikas, who had joined the rebels, had died in Bhojpur seven years previously received national coverage. “I was living and hoping he would come back one day” She reacted to the information. Her statement represents the sentiment of the families of the disappeared persons. Yet, Bikas was not forcefully disappeared. He was killed in armed confl ict. He is not included in the list of disappeared persons issued by INSEC or the ICRC. However, before the information of his death, he remained as a missing person. ! e status of persons disappeared in such way can be ascertained once the UCPN-M makes available the names of the persons on its side, who were

killed during the confl ict. ! e decade of 1996 – 2006 marked

the history in Nepal as the period with the largest number of people disappeared by both the confl icting parties. During this time, Nepal even topped the list of countries with the largest number of disappearances. ! e government introduced the ‘Kilo Sera II’ operation in May 1998 to stop the nascent ‘People’s War’. Special commando forces were mobilised in districts. In 1998, two persons had been forcefully disappeared by the state and one by the Maoists. Within a year, the number went up to 58 by the state and three by the Maoists. During the fi rst ceasefi re and dialogue between the government and the rebels in 2002, the number of disappearances came down to eight and fi ve respectively.

Nanda Prasad Neupane, 34, of Tripura VDC-2 and Prasad Budha of Sarmi VDC-3 in the Dolpa District were arrested and disappeared by security forces from Ghyar Khola in Ragda VDC, Jajarkot District on May 26, 1998. Mohan Lal Oli, 32, a teacher from Mahadevpuri VDC-4 in the Banke District was arrested in the night of June 12, 1998, as he was sleeping in his house, and was then disappeared by police. Advocate Rajendra Dhakal, a resident of Harmi VDC in Gorkha District, was arrested by police in Jamdi Khola of Khairenitar VDC-6, Tanahu District on January 8, 1999. His whereabouts are still unknown.

Even in Kathmandu, numbers of people were arrested and disappeared by

security forces. Dandapani Neupane, Navin Gautam, Gore Bahadur Purkoti, Milan Nepali, Palsang Lama and Dundu Tiwari were arrested from Tebahal, Bagbazar and other places in Kathmandu on May 16 and 21, 1999 and were subsequently disappeared by the police. ! eir whereabouts have not yet been made public. Protesting against the series of enforced disappearance, the then INSEC chairperson Sushil Pyakurel, Kapil Shrestha and Krishna Pahadi, among others, announced a two-month long protest demanding the whereabouts of the persons forcefully disappeared be made available. ! e number of enforced disappearance increased once the State of Emergency was imposed on November 26, 2001 along with the implementation of TADO. ! is increase continued until the restoration of the parliament in 2007.4

During the armed confl ict, the security authorities arrested the persons

who were suspected of being Maoists, but did not inform their family of the actual charge being levied against them. ! e act of arresting people from anywhere without providing any information became a norm. Enforced disappearance also continued because the state was not acting in a responsible manner. A total of 663 persons were forcefully disappeared by the state and 56 by the Maoists from 2001 to 2007. When the family went to the security authorities after fi nding out about the arrest

of their loved ones, they would be told that no such person had been arrested. ! e Royal Nepalese Army was also mobilised during this period. After its mobilization, the army was mainly responsible for the enforced disappearances of people.

On October 29, 2003, Ayodhdhya Prasad Godiya, 20, of Gangapur VDC-4, was arrested by a team of the Unifi ed Command. His father, Bihari Godiya, was also arrested and disappeared. Family members were told by the soldier at the sentry post at Sonbarsa Camp that Ayodhdhya was there and some clothes were sent to him. After one month, however, his status remained unknown. ! is shows the security authority’s lack of concern for its citizens. ! e number of cases of enforced disappearance declined from 2005 to 2007.

persons were disappeared by the state and 48 by the Maoists. ! is was the time when the political parties and the Maoists forged an alliance against the authoritarian regime of the then king, Gyanendra.

If we analyse the data from the regions, we can see that majority of the people disappeared are from the Mid-Western Region. ! is was also the region most a" ected by the armed confl ict. Within this region, the Bardiya district was the most a" ected, where a total of 206 and 13 people were disappeared by the state and the Maoists respectively. ! e details in the Yearbook show that Nepal Army’s Chisapani Barrack was responsible for most of the cases of enforced disappearance in Bardiya.

analysing the number of disappearances on the basis of caste and ethnicity, people from nationalities accounted for 407 cases, there were 363 cases involving Brahmin/Chhetri people, while there were 160 cases involving di" erent castes.

With regards to gender, the Maoists have disappeared relatively fewer women. Out of 101 forcefully disappeared women, eight were by the Maoists. ! e district with the highest number of disappearances of women is Bardiya, where the whereabouts of 28 women remain unknown. From February 13, 1996 to November 21, 2006, 829 men and 101 women were disappeared. ! e Maoists were responsible for the disappearance of 109 people including eight women. ! e total number of disappearances has been 930, after INSEC updated the number.

from Mugu, whose name was in the list of disappeared persons, returned home after eight years. Rokaya had headed for India after being released from military custody, and had remained out of touch with his family - leading the family to believe that he was among the disappeared persons.

3. Disappearances and International Human Rights Law

As stressed by the United Nations General Assembly, the act of enforced disappearance constitutes a grave violation of human rights. It violates certain human rights as contained in the treaties to which Nepal is a party, including the right of an individual to recognition everywhere as a person before the law (Article 16) and the right to freedom and security (Article 7) of the ICCPR. Additionally, a detainee faces the violation of his rights, including the right to life (Article 6), and extra-judicial killing or torture (Article 7 of ICCPR and CAT). Provisions within the UN Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance,

1992 and the International Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance (2006) have recognized enforced disappearance as a grave breach. According to these documents, the following elements are essential for an act to constitute an ‘enforced disappearance’:a. A person is either arrested, detained,

abducted or otherwise deprived of their freedom

b. Such deprivation of freedom is carried out by the state representatives/o# cials or by an individual or group, authorized or supported by or in collusion of the state, and

c. ! e condition or the whereabouts of a person who has been deprived of their freedom is refused to be acknowledged, which puts such person out of the ambit of legal protection

Although Nepal is yet to ratify the Convention on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance, it is the responsibility of Nepal to refrain from committing enforced disappearances,

as per the ICCPR. ! ese obligations of international human rights laws are applicable in both times of war and peace. ! e state has the obligation to investigate the incidents of enforced disappearance and to bring to justice those individuals or groups responsible for

the acts undertaken without permission, consent or connivance.

International humanitarian laws bind all sides during a “non-international armed confl ict”. Nepal is a state party to the four Geneva Conventions, which are the foundations of international humanitarian law. Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions recognizes the rights of the persons taking no active part in hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those deemed to be ‘hors de combat’ as a result of sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, to be treated humanely in all circumstances.

All sides are prohibited from committing violence that would contravene human rights including; murder; mutilation; cruel treatment and torture; the taking of hostages; outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment; and the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without a judgment being pronounced by a regularly constituted court. ! e customary laws which regulate non-international armed confl ict have been developed to ensure the prohibition of the arbitrary denial of freedom, the documentation of detainees and the respect for a detainee’s family life, and thus meeting and contacts with family members or close relatives should be allowed. As per the customary laws, each side of the confl ict has to

adopt all possible measures to maintain a record of all the persons who go missing during combat, and to share with the persons’ families any information they have about those missing persons. In sum, international humanitarian law prohibits the act of enforced disappearance.

4.1 Provisions of the Law on Government Cases

Following procedures should be followed to arrest any person:

! e police can arrest an individual if 1. they have substantial evidence to back up their suspicions.

4.2 Country CodeNumber 116 of the Country Code

contains a provision, which says that to arrest a person after obtaining a warrant in an arms and ammunitions related case, the suspects possible escape routes should be blocked before entering the house to arrest them. If the person could not be arrested during that attempt, they can be arrested

after entering the house from sunrise to the sunset. ! is shows that there should be no night-time arrests in cases where a warrant has fi rst been obtained. Other provisions state that a female police o# cer should be present when a woman is arrested and that the men should not touch her. If she resists, the police can hold her wrist. ! us, the legal provision shows that light force can be used if the situation demands.

Twelfth Amendment of the Country Code had included provisions on enforced disappearance in Chapter 8 (a) (1). It says that a person is considered guilty of kidnapping if he compels another person to go to any place by using force or threatening to use force or showing fear or

threat or overpowering or showing weapons or by using deceitful means or by using intoxicating or stimulant/psychotropic substance or by seizing or controlling any means of transportation by any means or take a person to any place without his or her consent. 8 (a) (2) says an act would be an o" ence of hostage taking if a person is detained by another person, by using force or threatening to use force or showing fear and threat, or by overpowering or by any deceitful means or by seizing or illegally controlling any means of transportation or any place. Any person convicted of such crime would be sentenced to seven to 15 years in jail and fi ned Rs 50,000 to Rs 200,000 or both. Anyone abetting to such act would be liable for similar punishment.

4.3 Police ActSeveral provisions exist to ensure

that an individual’s freedom is not stifl ed even after his arrest. Generally, an individual cannot be arrested without an arrest warrant. However, a person who has committed or was about a commit a crime that would result in a prison sentence of three or more years, or a person who has absconded to avoid arrest, or against whom a judicial warrant has been issued, anyone defying the curfew, or those in possession of arms and ammunition or equipment that can be used to break into a house without any justifi cation, or a person who had fl ed from the jail, or an army or police deserter can be arrested without an arrest warrant.

4.4 Torture and Provision of CompensationSection 3 of the Compensation for

Torture Act says that no person who is

in detention in the course of an inquiry, investigation or hearing, or for any other reason, shall be tortured. It further demands that while placing in detention or releasing any person, their physical or mental condition shall be examined by a physician under the government service as far as possible, and by a concerned o# cial himself in circumstances in which no such physician is available, and that a record thereof shall be prepared and maintained. ! e Act, however, does not criminalize torture as the CAT does.

Disappointed by the government’s inaction, the families of victims did not fi nd any remedy from the Supreme Court to international bodies. ! e Supreme Court’s verdict of June 1, 2007 is considered a landmark one on making the whereabouts of the disappeared persons public. ! e Supreme Court, responding to the 83 Habeas Corpus writ petitions fi led on di" erent dates, on June 1, 2007 ordered the government to establish a high-level commission of inquiry on disappearance, to enact a law which would criminalize enforced disappearance and to provide compensation to the families of the disappeared.5

Responding to a writ which claimed that people arrested on di" erent dates were severely tortured and then disappeared by the army at the Bhariavnath Battalion in Kathmandu, the Supreme Court, on January 9, 2007, gave an order to a panel of judges to submit a report after investigating

5. SC, 2007, Supreme Court Bulletin, Kathmandu: Supreme Court

14

the whereabouts of the 49 detainees who had been disappeared from the battalion, as had also been mentioned in the report of OHCHR in January 2007. ! e Supreme Court, for the fi rst time on August 28, 2006, gave an order to investigate the whereabouts of four disappeared persons arrested in 1999 and 2002. A panel which was headed by the Appellate Court Judge, Lokendra Bahadur Mallik, was formed in September 2006 as per the order of the Supreme Court.

! e panel recommended that the government create a law that defi nes disappearance as an act amounting to a criminal o" ence and that they should form a high-level commission to investigate the cases of disappeared persons.

Two government committees were formed a few years ago to publicise the whereabouts of persons allegedly disappeared by the state. ! e committees publicised the whereabouts of a total of 581 persons. However, the lists publicised by these committees mentioned nothing about hundreds of other disappeared persons. A later e" ort by the government was the formation of a one member committee on May 25, 2006, to publicise the status of disappeared persons. ! is committee stated that the status of 602 persons was unknown and it had information on only 174 persons.

! e government did not set up any judicial commissions to fi nd out the whereabouts of the disappeared persons and to make them public during the armed confl ict. Bowing to the increasing pressure to take action regarding the issue, the government announced a 3-member high

level investigatory commission under the coordination of former Supreme Court justice, Narendra Neupane, on June 26, 2007. ! e other two members were the Nepal Bar Association’s former chairperson, Sher Bahadur KC, and its general secretary, Raman Shrestha.

! e government has disregarded the demand raised by the human rights community for the formation of a law against disappearance as directed by the Supreme Court, and for the formation of a powerful commission on the basis of that law. However, there has not even been a letter of appointment provided to the personnel of the commission. Hence, the commission, which was created without the formation of laws against disappearance, and was only announced to show the government’s intention, has lead to a situation where actual action regarding the disappeared persons remains practically nonexistent.

! e government has proposed the ‘Disappearances of Persons (Crime and Punishment) Bill’ with the Legislature Parliament to try to fi nd and investigate the whereabouts of disappeared persons as per the provisions mentioned in the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the Supreme Court verdict, and the desire of national and international community and the victims to form a commission to investigate cases of enforced disappearances. ! e proposed Bill mentions that ‘A high level commission will be formed to investigate the whereabouts of disappeared, missing persons and those responsible in such acts that occurred during the armed confl ict

15

from February 13, 1996 to November 21, 2006.’ ! e human rights community, however, presented recommendations from their sides that showed that the bill is insu# cient. In this regard, human rights organisations, including INSEC, submitted recommendations for the amendment of some sections of the proposed bill. ! e report presented by the United Nations Secretary General on January 10, 2010 stated that the draft Bill was not in line with the international standards.6

6. Enforced Disappearance and United Nations’ Concern

No steps have been taken towards initiating legal proceedings in incidents of human rights violations and abuses committed in the past, towards providing compensation to the victims, or towards prosecuting the perpetrators. As a result of the institutionally protected impunity, the state mechanisms have remained completely silent, even on incidents of grave human rights violations. It is obvious that such apathy drew the global community’s attention. Regular concerns from the United Nations Secretary General’s human rights mechanisms, including O# ce of High Commissioner for Human Rights, have increased on the deteriorating human rights situation.

In this regard, special rapporteurs and working groups on di" erent thematic issues under the Special Procedures of the United Nations on Human Rights, appealed to the Government of Nepal to invite them to visit Nepal and examine the real situation of the country. ! ere

was no alternative for the Government of Nepal but to formally accept the request of the United Nations Human Rights mechanisms, due to the increasing international concern, and to extend to them an invitation.

! e Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances (WGEID) received a total of 531 cases of disappearance from 1980 to 2007 and it referred them to the Government of Nepal seeking status and clarifi cation. It has received clarifi cation on 211 cases – 132 by the government and 79 by non-governmental sources. Of the cases submitted by the Working Group, the Government of Nepal is yet to clarify details of at least 320 outstanding cases. Of the cases clarifi ed, 150 persons were living freely, 59 persons were in detention and one person was dead at the date of clarifi cation. At least 61 women were reportedly disappeared in the cases transmitted to the government. However, the WGEID has not received clarifi cation on 47 of them. At the invitation of the Government of Nepal, the WGEID carried out a mission to the country from 6 to 14 December 2004. ! e Working Group was represented by the Chairman-Rapporteur, Stephen J. Toope, and Working Group member Saied Rajaie Khorasani. ! e purpose of the visit was to discuss the cases of enforced or involuntary disappearance received and transmitted by the Working Group to the Government of Nepal and to examine the situation of disappearances in Nepal in the light of international human rights standards.

! e OHCHR-Nepal has been 6. http://www.insec.org.np/pics/1251717394.pdf

16

raising its concerns over the cases and patterns of disappearances right from the beginning of its establishment in Nepal in May 2005. It has also been working with various stakeholders, including non-governmental organisations, the NHRC, and families of disappeared people etc. ! e contribution of the O# ce to the capacity building of national institutions and civil society organisations has been of signifi cant importance. ! e O# ce has been calling for the government to put an end to impunity and bring those responsible for crimes of disappearance and other grave violations of human rights to justice. In May 2006, the OHCHR-Nepal publicised a report of its investigations into the arrest, detention, torture and continuing disappearances of individuals arrested by the then Royal Nepal Army (RNA, now the Nepal Army, NA) and then held at the Maharajgunj barracks in Kathmandu in 2003, on the suspicion of being linked to the CPN-M. ! e report was submitted to the Prime Minister, in his capacity as the Minister of Defence, as well as to the Chief of Army Sta" . In the report, the OHCHR-Nepal included a list of 49 persons allegedly disappeared by the army in 2003 from the Bhairavnath barrack.

In a landmark decision passed on October 28, 2008, the UN Human Rights Committee (HRC), which monitors the implementation of the Civil and Political rights, directed the Government of Nepal to thoroughly investigate the solitary confi nement and subsequent disappearance of Surya Prasad Sharma, a resident of Kalika VDC- in the Baglung District, by army personnel after his arrest on January

14, 2002. Sharma was arrested from his home by a group of 10-15 uniformed army personnel at around 5 am in the morning of January 14, 2002. On February 4, 2003, his wife Jashoda Sharma fi led a writ petition of habeas corpus but the Supreme Court, in its verdict passed on February 16, 2005, quashed the petition based on the information provided by the civil and military authorities; who had stated that the victim “was not in the custody or control of the state” at the time of his death as he had drowned after jumping into a nearby river to avoid having to identify a Maoist hideout. As all of the existing legal provisions of Nepal were exhausted, Sharma’s wife had decided to submit the case to the HRC.

! e HRC, an independent body of experts, also directed the government to provide an “e" ective and enforceable remedy” and report to it as to the measures it has taken within 180 days. ! e HRC, in its decision, outlined violations of Article 2(3) (the right to an e" ective remedy), Article 7 (the right not to be tortured), 9 (the right to liberty and security of person) and 10 (respect for the inherent dignity of a human person) of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

7. Progress on Bill on Commission on Inquiry of Disappeared

On June 1, 2007, the Supreme Court directed the government to form a powerful commission to investigate the whereabouts of the disappeared persons after compiling 83 habeas corpus writs fi led on behalf of people detained and

17

disappeared at di" erent times, to draft and implement the law criminalizing enforced disappearance and to provide compensation to the families of the victims subjected to enforced disappearance.

In the same ruling, the Court also had recommended the government to immediately become the party to the Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. ! e government made its stance clear on the Convention rejecting the recommendation for the ratifi cation of the Convention during the UPR Review.

In the course of implementation of the court order, the government tabled an amendment Bill comprising of “enforcing disappearance” in Country Code Chapter 8 (1) and “abducting and taking the body hostage” in 8 (2). ! e Bill was presented as a provision of Country Code and it was also written so. ! e parliament management committee returned the Bill saying it fails to criminalize the act of enforced disappearance and prosecute those responsible and asked the government to make public the new draft Bill incorporating the said concerns within one month.

Bill on disappearance commission was tabled after pressure from national and international actors but is pending in the parliament since April 2010 due to di" erences in the political parties’ stand and some outstanding contentious issues in the Bill. ! ese mainly pertain to things like language of the Bill in terms of whether to put certain key words within the preamble

such that their execution will not necessarily be binding or within the main text where it will be binding. Witness protection is also another issue where there is still di" erence about the types of protection measures to guarantee through this forthcoming Act. ! e temporal jurisdiction of the Bill is also in the process of discussion.

Proposed criminal code and a penal code have, for the fi rst time, tried to bring the act of enforced disappearance in the category of crime.7 ! e draft was tabled at the parliament in June 2011, however, it has not been debated. ! e provision of the criminal code contradicts with the provisions of the draft Disappearance Commission bill.8

8. Frustration among Victims’ Families! e decade long armed confl ict

formally came to an end after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the government and the CPN-Maoists on November 21, 2006. From that day, there have been many written agreements regarding enforced disappearances. Various commitments such as fi nding the whereabouts of disappeared persons, publicizing their whereabouts, establishing a high-level commission of inquiry on disappearance and providing compensation/relief to the families of the disappeared have been expressed in the Code of Conduct for Ceasefi re, 2006, the Decisions of the Seven Political Parties and Maoist Summit Meeting, 2006, the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA), 2006, the Interim Constitution of Nepal, 2007,

7. Articles 200 and 201 of the draft criminal and penal code, 20108. Criminal Code imposes a maximum penalty of 15 years but the Draft Disappearance Commission Bill imposes 7 yea

18

the Common Minimum Program of the Interim Government, 2007 and the 23-point agreement between seven political parties including CPN-Maoist, 2007.

However, neither the government nor the main political parties appear to be serious about fulfi lling these commitments. A comment made by the then Prime Minister (PM), Girija Prasad Koirala, to a team including Sharmila Tripathi from the family of a disappeared people ,as the team was submitting a memorandum is an example of this. PM Koirala said that the government would make public whereabouts of those disappeared by state only after the Maoists disclosed details of those they disappeared. He further said that the government was only prepared to publicise the ‘list’ of persons disappeared by state.9

On the other hand, saying that his party was not in the government, UCPN-M Chairman Prachanda reiterated his commitment to fi nding out the truth by forming a Commission of Inquiry on Disappearance.10 Prachanda, who had held the post of Prime Minister himself, said that he had to tender his resignation for trying to take action against those involved in enforced disappearances.11

! e above instances show that the parties are not serious and sensitive towards the whereabouts of disappeared persons. ! e concern for the victims has been inconsistent. ! e most tangible response has been interim compensation payments

to families of those who died or were disappeared. Yet this has been weakened by political manipulation and the lack of e" ective oversight of fund distribution. For relatives of the more than 1,000 people still missing, distress, frustration and a sense of betrayal has grown.12

Owing to this feeling and the decreasing hope of fi nding their relatives alive, the victim’s families have started registering their death certifi cates to get a sense of closure. In Banke, Bardiya and Surkhet, death certifi cates of 96 persons disappeared by the state and the Maoists have been registered.13

Yet, the concerned o# cials keep on reiterating their commitments. Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal expressed his commitment to fi nding the whereabouts of disappeared persons and take action against the culprits after receiving the fi ve-point memorandum submitted by the family of the disappeared persons on March 18, 2010. Despite the willingness of all three Prime Ministers after the CPA to make the status of disappeared persons public and to take action against the culprits, this has not yet happened. Is it that the leaders of the parties are of the opinion that the past will be forgotten with the passage of time? ! erefore, the following actions should be taken to make the status of persons disappeared public and not to allow such acts to be repeated in the future. Only then will the victims get justice.

ANNEX: 2

International Convention for the Protec-tion of All Persons from Enforced Disap-

pearance

Adopted by UN General Assembly Reso-lution 61/177 on 20 December 2006

Preamble

! e States Parties to this Convention,Considering the obligation of States

under the Charter of the United Nations to promote universal respect for, and ob-servance of, human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Having regard to the Universal Dec-laration of Human Rights,

Recalling the International Cov-enant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the other relevant international instruments in the fi elds of human rights, humanitarian law and inter-national criminal law,

Also recalling the Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance adopted by the General As-sembly of the United Nations in its resolu-tion 47/133 of 18 December 1992 ,

Aware of the extreme seriousness of enforced disappearance, which constitutes a crime and, in certain circumstances defi ned

International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced

Disappearance, 2006in international law, a crime against human-ity,

Determined to prevent enforced disappearances and to combat impunity for the crime of enforced disappearance,

Considering the right of any person not to be subjected to enforced disappear-ance, the right of victims to justice and to reparation,

A# rming the right of any victim to know the truth about the circumstances of an enforced disappearance and the fate of the disappeared person, and the right to freedom to seek, receive and impart infor-mation to this end,

Have agreed on the following articles:

Part IArticle 11. No one shall be subjected to enforced

disappearance. 2. No exceptional circumstances whatso-

ever, whether a state of war or a threat of war, internal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked as a justifi cation for enforced disappearance.

Article 2For the purposes of this Convention,

“enforced disappearance” is considered to be

402

the arrest, detention, abduction or any other form of deprivation of liberty by agents of the State or by persons or groups of persons acting with the authorisation, support or ac-quiescence of the State, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the deprivation of liberty or by concealment of the fate or whereabouts of the disappeared person, which place such a person outside the protection of the law.

Article 3Each State Party shall take appro-

priate measures to investigate acts defi ned in article 2 committed by persons or groups of persons acting without the authorisation, support or acquiescence of the State and to bring those responsible to justice.

Article 4Each State Party shall take the nec-

essary measures to ensure that enforced dis-appearance constitutes an o" ence under its criminal law.

Article 5! e widespread or systematic prac-

tice of enforced disappearance constitutes a crime against humanity as defi ned in ap-plicable international law and shall attract the consequences provided for under such applicable international law.

Article 61. Each State Party shall take the neces-

sary measures to hold criminally re-sponsible at least:

(a) Any person who commits, orders, so-licits or induces the commission of, attempts to commit, is an accomplice to or participates in an enforced disap-pearance;

(b) A superior who: (i) Knew, or consciously disregarded in-

formation which clearly indicated, that subordinates under his or her e" ective authority and control were committing or about to commit a crime of enforced disappearance;

(ii) Exercised e" ective responsibility for and control over activities which were concerned with the crime of enforced disappearance; and

(iii) Failed to take all necessary and reason-able measures within his or her power to prevent or repress the commission of an enforced disappearance or to submit the matter to the competent authorities for investigation and pros-ecution;

(c) Subparagraph (b) above is without prejudice to the higher standards of responsibility applicable under rel-evant international law to a military commander or to a person e" ectively acting as a military commander.

2. No order or instruction from any pub-lic authority, civilian, military or other, may be invoked to justify an o" ence of enforced disappearance.

Article 71. Each State Party shall make the of-

fence of enforced disappearance pun-ishable by appropriate penalties which take into account its extreme serious-ness.

2. Each State Party may establish: (a) Mitigating circumstances, in particular

for persons who, having been implicat-ed in the commission of an enforced disappearance, e" ectively contribute to

403

bringing the disappeared person for-ward alive or make it possible to clarify cases of enforced disappearance or to identify the perpetrators of an enforced disappearance;

(b) Without prejudice to other criminal procedures, aggravating circumstances, in particular in the event of the death of the disappeared person or the com-mission of an enforced disappearance in respect of pregnant women, minors, persons with disabilities or other par-ticularly vulnerable persons.

Article 8Without prejudice to article 5, 1. A State Party which applies a statute

of limitations in respect of enforced disappearance shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the term of limitation for criminal proceedings:

(a) Is of long duration and is proportion-ate to the extreme seriousness of this o" ence;

(b) Commences from the moment when the o" ence of enforced disappearance ceases, taking into account its continu-ous nature.

2. Each State Party shall guarantee the right of victims of enforced disappear-ance to an e" ective remedy during the term of limitation.

Article 9 1. Each State Party shall take the neces-

sary measures to establish its compe-tence to exercise jurisdiction over the o" ence of enforced disappearance:

(a) When the o" ence is committed in any territory under its jurisdiction or on

board a ship or aircraft registered in that State;

(b) When the alleged o" ender is one of its nationals;

(c) When the disappeared person is one of its nationals and the State Party con-siders it appropriate.

2. Each State Party shall likewise take such measures as may be necessary to establish its competence to exercise ju-risdiction over the o" ence of enforced disappearance when the alleged of-fender is present in any territory under its jurisdiction, unless it extradites or surrenders him or her to another State in accordance with its international obligations or surrenders him or her to an international criminal tribunal whose jurisdiction it has recognized.

3. ! is Convention does not exclude any additional criminal jurisdiction exer-cised in accordance with national law.

Article 101. Upon being satisfi ed, after an exami-

nation of the information available to it, that the circumstances so warrant, any State Party in whose territory a person suspected of having commit-ted an o" ence of enforced disappear-ance is present shall take him or her into custody or take such other legal measures as are necessary to ensure his or her presence. ! e custody and other legal measures shall be as provided for in the law of that State Party but may be maintained only for such time as is necessary to ensure the person’s pres-ence at criminal, surrender or extradi-tion proceedings.

404

2. A State Party which has taken the measures referred to in paragraph 1 of this article shall immediately carry out a preliminary inquiry or investigations to establish the facts. It shall notify the States Parties referred to in article 9, paragraph 1, of the measures it has taken in pursuance of paragraph 1 of this article, including detention and the circumstances warranting deten-tion, and of the fi ndings of its prelimi-nary inquiry or its investigations, indi-cating whether it intends to exercise its jurisdiction.

3. Any person in custody pursuant to paragraph 1 of this article may com-municate immediately with the nearest appropriate representative of the State of which he or she is a national, or, if he or she is a stateless person, with the representative of the State where he or she usually resides.

Article 111. ! e State Party in the territory under

whose jurisdiction a person alleged to have committed an o" ence of enforced disappearance is found shall, if it does not extradite that person or surrender him or her to another State in accor-dance with its international obliga-tions or surrender him or her to an international criminal tribunal whose jurisdiction it has recognized, submit the case to its competent authorities for the purpose of prosecution.

2. ! ese authorities shall take their deci-sion in the same manner as in the case of any ordinary o" ence of a serious na-ture under the law of that State Party.

In the cases referred to in article 9, paragraph 2, the standards of evidence required for prosecution and convic-tion shall in no way be less stringent than those which apply in the cases referred to in article 9, paragraph 1.

3. Any person against whom proceedings are brought in connection with an of-fence of enforced disappearance shall be guaranteed fair treatment at all stages of the proceedings. Any person tried for an o" ence of enforced disap-pearance shall benefi t from a fair trial before a competent, independent and impartial court or tribunal established by law.

Article 121. Each State Party shall ensure that any

individual who alleges that a person has been subjected to enforced disappear-ance has the right to report the facts to the competent authorities, which shall examine the allegation promptly and impartially and, where necessary, un-dertake without delay a thorough and impartial investigation. Appropriate steps shall be taken, where necessary, to ensure that the complainant, witnesses, relatives of the disappeared person and their defence counsel, as well as per-sons participating in the investigation, are protected against all ill-treatment or intimidation as a consequence of the complaint or any evidence given.

2. Where there are reasonable grounds for believing that a person has been subjected to enforced disappearance, the authorities referred to in para-graph 1 of this article shall undertake

405

an investigation, even if there has been no formal complaint.

3. Each State Party shall ensure that the authorities referred to in paragraph 1 of this article:

(a) Have the necessary powers and re-sources to conduct the investigation e" ectively, including access to the documentation and other information relevant to their investigation;

(b) Have access, if necessary with the prior authorisation of a judicial authority, which shall rule promptly on the mat-ter, to any place of detention or any other place where there are reasonable grounds to believe that the disappeared person may be present.

4. Each State Party shall take the neces-sary measures to prevent and sanction acts that hinder the conduct of an in-vestigation. It shall ensure in particu-lar that persons suspected of having committed an o" ence of enforced disappearance are not in a position to infl uence the progress of an investiga-tion by means of pressure or acts of intimidation or reprisal aimed at the complainant, witnesses, relatives of the disappeared person or their defence counsel, or at persons participating in the investigation.

Article 131. For the purposes of extradition between

States Parties, the o" ence of enforced disappearance shall not be regarded as a political o" ence or as an o" ence con-nected with a political o" ence or as an o" ence inspired by political motives. Accordingly, a request for extradition

based on such an o" ence may not be refused on these grounds alone.

2. ! e o" ence of enforced disappearance shall be deemed to be included as an extraditable o" ence in any extradition treaty existing between States Parties before the entry into force of this Con-vention.

3. States Parties undertake to include the o" ence of enforced disappearance as an extraditable o" ence in any extradi-tion treaty subsequently to be conclud-ed between them.

4. If a State Party which makes extradi-tion conditional on the existence of a treaty receives a request for extradition from another State Party with which it has no extradition treaty, it may con-sider this Convention as the necessary legal basis for extradition in respect of the o" ence of enforced disappearance.

5. States Parties which do not make ex-tradition conditional on the existence of a treaty shall recognize the o" ence of enforced disappearance as an extra-ditable o" ence between themselves.

6. Extradition shall, in all cases, be sub-ject to the conditions provided for by the law of the requested State Party or by applicable extradition treaties, in-cluding, in particular, conditions relat-ing to the minimum penalty require-ment for extradition and the grounds upon which the requested State Party may refuse extradition or make it sub-ject to certain conditions.

7. Nothing in this Convention shall be interpreted as imposing an obligation to extradite if the requested State Par-ty has substantial grounds for believing

406

that the request has been made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing a person on account of that person’s sex, race, religion, nationality, ethnic origin, political opinions or membership of a particular social group, or that com-pliance with the request would cause harm to that person for any one of these reasons.

Article 141. States Parties shall a" ord one another

the greatest measure of mutual legal assistance in connection with crimi-nal proceedings brought in respect of an o" ence of enforced disappearance, including the supply of all evidence at their disposal that is necessary for the proceedings.

2. Such mutual legal assistance shall be subject to the conditions provided for by the domestic law of the requested State Party or by applicable treaties on mutual legal assistance, including, in particular, the conditions in relation to the grounds upon which the requested State Party may refuse to grant mutual legal assistance or may make it subject to conditions.

Article 15States Parties shall cooperate with each oth-er and shall a" ord one another the greatest measure of mutual assistance with a view to assisting victims of enforced disappearance, and in searching for, locating and releasing disappeared persons and, in the event of death, in exhuming and identifying them and returning their remains.

Article 161. No State Party shall expel, return (“re-

fouler”), surrender or extradite a per-son to another State where there are substantial grounds for believing that he or she would be in danger of being subjected to enforced disappearance.

2. For the purpose of determining wheth-er there are such grounds, the compe-tent authorities shall take into account all relevant considerations, including, where applicable, the existence in the State concerned of a consistent pattern of gross, fl agrant or mass violations of human rights or of serious violations of international humanitarian law.

Article 171. No one shall be held in secret deten-

tion. 2. Without prejudice to other interna-

tional obligations of the State Party with regard to the deprivation of lib-erty, each State Party shall, in its legis-lation:

(a) Establish the conditions under which orders of deprivation of liberty may be given;

(b) Indicate those authorities authorized to order the deprivation of liberty;

(c) Guarantee that any person deprived of liberty shall be held solely in o# cially recognized and supervised places of deprivation of liberty;

(e) Guarantee access by the competent and legally authorized authorities and institutions to the places where per-sons are deprived of liberty, if neces-sary with prior authorisation from a judicial authority;

(f ) Guarantee that any person deprived of liberty or, in the case of a suspected enforced disappearance, since the per-son deprived of liberty is not able to exercise this right, any persons with a legitimate interest, such as relatives of the person deprived of liberty, their representatives or their counsel, shall, in all circumstances, be entitled to take proceedings before a court, in order that the court may decide without de-lay on the lawfulness of the depriva-tion of liberty and order the person’s release if such deprivation of liberty is not lawful.

3. Each State Party shall assure the com-pilation and maintenance of one or more up-to-date o# cial registers and/or records of persons deprived of lib-erty, which shall be made promptly available, upon request, to any judicial or other competent authority or insti-tution authorized for that purpose by the law of the State Party concerned or any relevant international legal in-strument to which the State concerned is a party. ! e information contained therein shall include, as a minimum:

Declaration on the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearance, 1992Declaration on the Protection of all Per-sons from Enforced Disappearance

General Assembly resolution 47/133 of 18 December 1992

! e General Assembly,Considering that, in accordance with

the principles proclaimed in the Charter of the United Nations and other international instruments, recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human fam-ily is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

418

Bearing in mind the obligation of States under the Charter, in particular Ar-ticle 55, to promote universal respect for, and observance of, human rights and fun-damental freedoms,

Deeply concerned that in many countries, often in a persistent manner, en-forced disappearances occur, in the sense that persons are arrested, detained or ab-ducted against their will or otherwise de-prived of their liberty by o# cials of di" er-ent branches or levels of Government, or by organized groups or private individuals acting on behalf of, or with the support, direct or indirect, consent or acquiescence of the Government, followed by a refusal to disclose the fate or whereabouts of the persons concerned or a refusal to acknowl-edge the deprivation of their liberty, which places such persons outside the protection of the law,

Considering that enforced disap-pearance undermines the deepest values of any society committed to respect for the rule of law, human rights and fundamen-tal freedoms, and that the systematic prac-tice of such acts is of the nature of a crime against humanity,

Recalling its resolution 33/173 of 22 December 1978, in which it expressed con-cern about the reports from various parts of the world relating to enforced or invol-untary disappearances, as well as about the anguish and sorrows caused by those disap-pearances, and called upon Governments to hold law enforcement and security forces legally responsible for excesses which might lead to enforced or involuntary disappear-ances of persons,

Recalling also the protection a" ord-

ed to victims of armed confl icts by the Ge-neva Conventions of 12 August 1949 and the Additional Protocols thereto, of 1977,

Having regard in particular to the relevant articles of the Universal Declara-tion of Human Rights and the Internation-al Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which protect the right to life, the right to liberty and security of the person, the right not to be subjected to torture and the right to recognition as a person before the law,

Having regard also to the Conven-tion against Torture and Other Cruel, In-human or Degrading Treatment or Pun-ishment, which provides that States parties shall take e" ective measures to prevent and punish acts of torture,

Bearing in mind the Code of Con-duct for Law Enforcement O# cials, the Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement O# cials, the Declaration of Basic Principles of Justice for Victims of Crime and Abuse of Power and the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners,

A# rming that, in order to prevent enforced disappearances, it is necessary to ensure strict compliance with the Body of Principles for the Protection of All Persons under Any Form of Detention or Imprison-ment contained in the annex to its resolu-tion 43/173 of 9 December 1988, and with the Principles on the E" ective Prevention and Investigation of Extra-legal, Arbitrary and Summary Executions, set forth in the annex to Economic and Social Council resolution 1989/65 of 24 May 1989 and en-dorsed by the General Assembly in its reso-lution 44/162 of 15 December 1989,

Bearing in mind that, while the acts

419

which comprise enforced disappearance constitute a violation of the prohibitions found in the aforementioned international instruments, it is none the less important to devise an instrument which characterizes all acts of enforce disappearance of persons as very serious o" ences and sets forth stan-dards designed to punish and prevent their commission,

Proclaims the present Declaration on the Protection of All Persons from En-forced Disappearance, as a body of prin-ciples for all States;

Urges that all e" orts be made so that the Declaration becomes generally known and respected;

Article 11. Any act of enforced disappearance is

an o" ence to human dignity. It is con-demned as a denial of the purposes of the Charter of the United Nations and as a grave and fl agrant violation of the human rights and fundamental freedoms proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and re-a# rmed and developed in internation-al instruments in this fi eld.

2. Any act of enforced disappearance places the persons subjected thereto outside the protection of the law and infl icts severe su" ering on them and their families. It constitutes a violation of the rules of international law guar-anteeing, inter alia, the right to recog-nition as a person before the law, the right to liberty and security of the per-son and the right not to be subjected to torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

It also violates or constitutes a grave threat to the right to life.

Article 21. No State shall practise, permit or tol-

erate enforced disappearances. 2. States shall act at the national and re-

gional levels and in cooperation with the United Nations to contribute by all means to the prevention and eradica-tion of enforce disappearance.

Article 3Each State shall take e" ective legis-

lative, administrative, judicial or other mea-sures to prevent and terminate acts of en-forced disappearance in any territory under its jurisdiction.

Article 41. All acts of enforced disappearance

shall be o" ences under criminal law punishable by appropriate penalties which shall take into account their ex-treme seriousness.

2. Mitigating circumstances may be es-tablished in national legislation for persons who, having participated in enforced disappearances, are instru-mental in bringing the victims forward alive or in providing voluntarily in-formation which would contribute to clarifying cases of enforced disappear-ance.

Article 5In addition to such criminal penal-

ties as are applicable, enforced disappear-ances render their perpetrators and the State or State authorities which organize,

420

acquiesce in or tolerate such disappearances liable under civil law, without prejudice to the international responsibility of the State concerned in accordance with the principles of international law.

Article 61. No order or instruction of any public

authority, civilian, military or other, may be invoked to justify an enforced disappearance. Any person receiving such an order or instruction shall have the right and duty not to obey it.

2. Each State shall ensure that orders or instructions directing, authorizing or encouraging any enforced disappear-ance are prohibited.

3. Training of law enforcement o# cials shall emphasize the provisions in para-graphs 1 and 2 of the present article.

whether a threat of war, a state of war, inter-nal political instability or any other public emergency, may be invoked to justify en-forced disappearances.

Article 81. No State shall expel, return (refouler)

or extradite a person to another State where there are substantial grounds to believe that he would be in danger of enforced disappearance.

2. For the purpose of determining wheth-er there are such grounds, the compe-tent authorities shall take into account all relevant considerations including, where applicable, the existence in the State concerned of a consistent pattern

of gross, fl agrant or mass violations of human rights.

Article 91. ! e right to a prompt and e" ective ju-

dicial remedy as a means of determin-ing the whereabouts or state of health of persons deprived of their liberty and/or identifying the authority or-dering or carry out the deprivation of liberty is required to prevent enforced disappearances under all circumstanc-es, including those referred to in article 7 above.

2. In such proceedings, competent na-tional authorities shall have access to all places where persons deprived of their liberty are being held and to each part of those places, as well as to any place in which there are grounds to be-lieve that such persons may be found.

3. Any other competent authority en-titled under the law of the State or by any international legal instrument to which the State is a party may also have access to such places.

Article 101. Any person deprived of liberty shall be

held in an o# cially recognized place of detention and, in conformity with na-tional law, be brought before a judicial authority promptly after detention.

2. Accurate information on the deten-tion of such persons and their place or places of detention, including trans-fers, shall be made promptly available to their family members, their counsel or to any other persons having a legiti-mate interest in the information unless

421

a wish to the contrary has been mani-fested by the persons concerned.

3. An o# cial up-to-date register of all persons deprived of their liberty shall be maintained in every place of deten-tion. Additionally, each State shall take steps to maintain similar centralized registers. ! e information contained in these registers shall be made avail-able to the persons mentioned in the preceding paragraph, to any judicial or other competent and independent na-tional authority and to any other com-petent authority entitled under the law of the State concerned or any inter-national legal instrument to which a State concerned is a party, seeking to trace the whereabouts of a detained person.

Article 11All persons deprived of liberty must

be released in a manner permitting reliable verifi cation that they have actually been re-leased and, further, have been released in conditions in which their physical integrity and ability fully to exercise their rights are assured.

Article 121. Each State shall establish rules under

its national law indicating those o# -cials authorized to order deprivation of liberty, establishing the conditions under which such orders may be given, and stipulating penalties for o# cials who, without legal justifi cation, refuse to provide information on any deten-tion.

2. Each State shall likewise ensure strict

supervision, including a clear chain of command, of all law enforcement of-fi cials responsible for apprehensions, arrests, detentions, custody, transfers and imprisonment, and of other o# -cials authorized by law to use force and fi rearms.

Article 131. Each State shall ensure that any per-

son having knowledge or a legitimate interest who alleges that a person has been subjected to enforced disappear-ance has the right to complain to a competent and independent State authority and to have that complaint promptly, thoroughly and impartially investigated by that authority. When-ever there are reasonable grounds to believe that an enforced disappearance has been committed, the State shall promptly refer the matter to that au-thority for such an investigation, even if there has been no formal complaint. No measure shall be taken to curtail or impede the investigation.

2. Each State shall ensure that the com-petent authority shall have the neces-sary powers and resources to conduct the investigation e" ectively, includ-ing powers to compel attendance of witnesses and production of relevant documents and to make immediate on-site visits.

3. Steps shall be taken to ensure that all involved in the investigation, including the complainant, counsel, witnesses and those conducting the investigation, are protected against ill-treatment, intimi-dation or reprisal.

422

4. ! e fi ndings of such an investigation shall be made available upon request to all persons concerned, unless doing so would jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation.

5. Steps shall be taken to ensure that any ill-treatment, intimidation or reprisal or any other form of interference on the occasion of the lodging of a com-plaint or during the investigation pro-cedure is appropriately punished.

6. An investigation, in accordance with the procedures described above, should be able to be conducted for as long as the fate of the victim of enforced dis-appearance remains unclarifi ed.

Article 14Any person alleged to have perpe-

trated an act of enforced disappearance in a particular State shall, when the facts dis-closed by an o# cial investigation so war-rant, be brought before the competent civil authorities of that State for the purpose of prosecution and trial unless he has been ex-tradited to another State wishing to exercise jurisdiction in accordance with the relevant international agreements in force. All States should take any lawful and appropriate ac-tion available to them to bring to justice all persons presumed responsible for an act of enforced disappearance, who are found to be within their jurisdiction or under their control.

Article 15! e fact that there are grounds to

believe that a person has participated in acts of an extremely serious nature such as those referred to in article 4, paragraph 1, above,

regardless of the motives, shall be taken into account when the competent authorities of the State decide whether or not to grant asylum.

Summary of the Supreme Court’s Directive Order

Directive Order ruled by the Supreme Court to the government of Nepal to immediately investigate all allegations of enforced disap-pearances with the following instructions: (A) ! e report of the investigation team constituted by this court clarifi es the events regarding the following persons among the people said to be disappeared. Chakra Bahadur Katuwal died in the custody due to torture. Regarding Rajendera Prasad Dhakal, Bipin Bhandari and Dil Baha-dur Rai, their initial point of the arrest by the security forces has been determined as stated above, but their conditions after that have not been clarifi ed till date. In the case of Chakra Bahadur Katuwal, it is necessary that due process of prosecution will be ad-opted, pursuant to existing laws and a writ of mandamus, on his subject, will be issued. It should be issued in the name of the re-spondent Ministry of Home A" airs, as well as the Government of Nepal. It should order that any agency, o# cial or employee, any other person who was involved in the process, or any other person who was inves-tigated and processed by Departmental ac-tion and punishment will be subject to the concerned o# ce chief and employees. ! is order is also issued to give necessary order to the concerned agency or employees. Regarding the case of Rajendra Dhakal, Bipin Bhandari and Dil Bahadur Rai, they have been identifi ed by the ju-dicial investigation team as being arrested by security forces. However, their status remained as unknown till date. O# cials or employees involved in the process should

be prosecuted on the basis of additional research and thereby justice should be pro-vided to the victims. In order to launch im-mediate prosecution, other measures, such as defi ning the crime of disappearance, sanctioning the same and providing com-pensation, should be ensured. If they are not, there is no possibility of obtaining full justice. ! erefore, an order is issued in the name of the respondent regarding the nec-essary action to be taken for prosecuting the erstwhile chief of security agency, as well as other employees who were responsible. ! e order also regards that the concerned person and victims must be provided compensation on the basis of the law, pursuant to section (B) hereunder. It must be completed as well the additional necessary investigation, as suggested by the report of the investigation team constituted by this court. ! e conclusion of the investiga-tion team is that the mentioned people were arrested by the security force and taken to a certain point and thereafter their status re-mained unknown. As it is not appropriate for the responsible person to enjoy impu-nity and unaccountability, a writ of manda-mus is issued in the name of respondents including Ministry of Home A" airs, as well as the Government of Nepal. Accordingly, immediate Departmental action must be taken against the chief and employees who are identifi ed as responsible by the report of investigation team and other necessary in-quiry must be done.

(B) ! is court has taken note of the petitions by Lekhnath Neupane asking for mandamus and other cases of habeas corpus where additional investigation is yet to be carried out. Similar demands by other pe-

432

titioners in similar circumstances have been received claiming of acts of disappearance. Also in this case the petitioners have asked for special provisions.

! e written statement regarding the people who are said to be disappeared did not help to determine their status and a formal investigation has not been under-taken yet. ! erefore, it is not easy to express a certain opinion on the status of these people. ! e legal, structural and remedial measures are not su# cient to especially ad-dress the e" ects caused to the disappeared persons and their families. It does not seem that the prevailing legal structure is enough to address the problems. ! erefore, a direc-tive order is hereby issued in the name of the respondent Government of Nepal to address these problems by making the pro-visions mentioned hereunder.

i. It is found that there is no law in our country with respect to the address of the series of disappearance occurred during the time of confl ict. ! ere is absence of law as well on other matters, such as: arrest, deten-tion, hostage taking, and conditions during the time of detention and related measures, rights of the victims, remedies available for them and their families, provisions for ef-fective investigation, etc. Even though there is an Act for carrying out inquiry on a mat-ter of public importance, this Act does not cover the inquiry on matter pertaining to disappearance. In the absence of law, no real, e" ective and practical investigation can be carried out. Additionally, under the existing criminal law no provision is found to address legal and institutional questions relating to the issue. With the purpose of e" ectively addressing this problem, it is necessary to

establish a law with priority. ! is law should include the provisions that the act of dis-appearance is a criminal o" ence. It should defi ne the act of disappearance pursuant to the defi nition in the International Conven-tion for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance of 2006. It should also incorporate provisions, such as: rights of detainees; liability of those who keep in detention; determination of the place of de-tention; access of the lawyer and families of the detainees; right to be informed of the reason of detention; judicial remedy; right to remedy for the detainee who is put in il-legal detention, or for the concerned per-sons and their families who have become victim of illegal detention or disappearance; right to compensation; a fl exible provision of limitation that does not adversely a" ect investigation process; complaint hearing agency and its liability with respect to il-legal detention or disappearance; provi-sion for the creation of a formal detention centre and provision for putting detained people in such detention centre: right to humanitarian treatment while in detention, descriptions such as length of the detention, condition, name, title, address and other rel-evant details of the person who is ordered in detention: liability of making arrangements while transferring the detainee: right of the families to know all conditions of the de-tainee and development of the process, as well as easy access to the same: terms re-garding the condition of being released: the provisions regarding the record of his/her mental and physical condition. It is equally important to attract the attention towards international standards. ! ey included that no pardon can be granted with respect to a

433

person who are prosecuted for allegedly be-ing involved in the act of disappearance and to a person who is convicted for the same crime. For this purpose, the International Convention for the Protection of all Per-sons from Enforced Disappearance should be adopted as a guideline.

ii. For the purpose of implementa-tion of the Act made pursuant to here above for the purpose of protection of the persons forcefully disappeared, it is also expedient to provide for an arrangement in the Act for a separate Commission of Inquiry with respect to such disappeared persons. Given that separate powers, skills and procedures are deemed necessary for probing such kinds of problems. It is needed to determine the Criteria for Commission on Enforced Dis-appearance developed under the guidelines of the United Nations O# ce of the High Commission for Human Rights.

It is needed to include provisions such as, that: all related incidents are in-quired: the jurisdiction of the Commission is clarifi ed: the inquiry does not replace the jurisdiction of the court: the persons nomi-nated for such commission are appropriate and competent for the work: provisions re-garding terms of o# ce and conditions of service and facilities are provided: represen-tation of women, lower caste and communi-ties are provided: powers, duties and func-tions of the Commission are prescribed in the Act: considering the nature of the prob-lem of inquiry, it could be initiated on the basis of the information received from any source. It is necessary to include provisions such as: the continuity of the inquiry until the status is made clear: security of victims, witness, plainti" , advocate and investigator

assisting in the probe: rights of the victims about recording their statements and rais-ing their concerns and rights to keep their statements confi dential: the power of the commission to inspect necessary places, of-fi ces, etc. and to question all persons who it deems necessary to inquire. It is also neces-sary to ensure the availability of means and resources necessary for such Commission in order to accomplish its performance. It is expedient to consider all these matters while enacting the law.

It is expected that the law will be en-acted in a wise manner and under legislative power entrusted by sovereign Nepali people. When the mentioned issues will be given expedient scope, all people facing problems will be benefi ted.

(C) A directive order is hereby issued in the name of respondents- government of Nepal, Ministry of Home A" airs and the O# ce of the Attorney General. It takes the decisions to enact an Act for the protection of the disappeared persons, which will pro-vide for a Commission of Inquiry for the disclosure of the causes of their disappear-ance and their status. It will be achieved by forming a powerful commission in order to carry out an in-depth and comprehen-sive inquiry of the mentioned persons and thereby, submitting the report. A criminal investigation on the basis of the report will be undertaken. ! ereby, it will be decided to prosecute concerned persons on the basis.

(D) It will certainly take a long time to complete the mentioned steps. ! ey in-volve making new law, constituting a Com-mission of Inquiry, taking report from it,

434

and launching prosecution on that basis. However, considering the complexities of the problem and the imperative to resolve it as soon as possible, the solution would be facilitated only if the Executive and Legis-lature put this matter on their high priori-ties. All organs of the State have the obliga-tion to protect the disappeared persons and provide them justice. We consider that it is a natural expectation to be confi dent about the fact that the responsible organs will play a positive role for a work delineated by the Constitution. It seems necessary that the Government of Nepal takes special initia-tion to expedite the process of making law.

! e persons stated in the petitions and their families can feel the sense of jus-tice only when the mentioned stages are completed. It is imperative to put forward this process with expedient priority.

(E) As stated in Section (D), the petitioners of this case have been de-manding and waiting various kinds of rem-edies from this court for a long time (some of them since 1999. It is likely to take more time to provide them e" ective remedy by completing the above mentioned stages. In addition to the e" ect that the concerned person has to bear due to disappearance, their family members have to continuously face several social, economic and mental suf-ferings. Factors such as, the time spent for the search of the disappeared person, labour and expenditure, psychological distress, loss of labour productivity and security due to the absence of disappeared person, must be considered for reaching social and economic results. On the one hand, the State has not been able to make public the status of the

persons who are said to be disappeared. On the other hand, families of the disappeared persons have been continuously bearing the loss and liability in connection to the inci-dent. As the pain created by this situation will continue until the status of the person who are said to be disappeared becomes evi-dent, it seems essential to address the prob-lem.

! e demands of the petitioners can be appropriately addressed and their fi nal status can be clarifi ed in the course of the implementation of the Act as men-tioned above. In other words, if the status of concerned person is clarifi ed, and the culprit is also determined, he/she would get the punishment determined by the law. Similarly, when the petitioner is entitled of compensation, he/she may receive it as per the procedures determined by the same law. However, it does not seem possible for the family members who are searching for their loved ones to travel the long road to justice with their own resources and with a dis-tressed mind. ! is Bench is confi dent that immediate relief, even if partial, should be provided to them. ! is will save them from discarding the tiring the path of justice ow-ing to frustration. It will also provide them with support and cooperation in adopting the legitimate path of searching their loved ones.

It is not possible to provide specifi c legal remedy, such as punishment or com-pensation, in the situation when the real condition of detainee is not clarifi ed. How-ever, it seems expedient to provide relief as a grant even though in symbolic form in view of the situation at the time of deciding this case. It is grant with the limited purpose of

435

assisting the victim family to bear the liabil-ity undertaken by them while seeking access to justice. It will not a" ect the amount and nature of the remedy to be provided as per the law as to be found by a further investi-gation.

! e incident of violation of right to freedom and security of life is not a mat-ter that can be compensated in monetary or economic terms. However, this court considers the obligation of the State to pro-vide assistance to the victim. ! is court also considers that the rights would be mean-ingless in the absence of e" ective remedy. ! is court, therefore, in order to respect the right of victims’ families to seek remedy, has positively considered the need of providing immediate relief of interim nature.

Accordingly, this order is hereby issued in the name of the Government of Nepal, as well as the Cabinet Secretariat pursuant to Article 100 and 107 (2) of the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007. ! is order provides: to give immediate relief of two hundred thousand rupees (200,000

NRP) for the nearest claimant of Chakra Bahadur Shahi, who is considered to be dead and whose death is verifi ed by the in-vestigation of the DIT constituted by the order of this court; to give two hundred thousand rupees (200,000 NRP) to each member of the families of those who are declared dead; to give Rs 150,000 to each family member of Rajendra Prasad Dhakal, Bipin Bhandari and Dil Bahadur Rai, who have been found by the DIT constituted by this court to be arrested by security forces and disappeared; and to give Rs 100,000 to each family member to the remaining per-sons stated in the petition, whose status has not been clarifi ed.

A directive order is hereby issued in the name of the Government of Nepal to frame and implement appropriate relief package. It includes the employment with-out any adverse e" ect relating to matters mentioned above. It also considers the status of the victims till date and the loss and dif-fi culties that might have to be continuously borne due to the cause of disappearance.
