UN human rights experts expressed serious concern for the independence of Nepal’s National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Tuesday, following the recent appointment of new members to the Commission in a process that is seen to be inconsistent with international standards.
The statement follows the adoption of an ordinance by the president of Nepal in December, which amended the rules relating to the Constitutional Council, allowing it to hold meetings without a quorum and to further take decisions based on a simple majority. Under current Nepali law, appointments to Constitutional bodies such as the NHRC must be confirmed through a parliamentary hearing process, which could not take place due to the president’s dissolution of Parliament, which has since been considered unlawful by the Constitutional Bench of the Supreme Court of Nepal.

On 26 February 2021, the Supreme Court issued a notice to the central government on a petition seeking caste-based census in the country. The petition said that such a census would address the lack of data needed to provide adequate reservations in jobs and admissions to the Other Backward Classes (OBC) or the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (SEBC). The proforma for the 2021 census has been announced, the petition said, adding it has 32 columns with headers Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, etc but has no mention of the OBCs. It sought urgent court intervention to introduce such a proforma for the 2021 census that has a column for the OBCs. Inadequat
