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.
