"Mr President, a civil war lasting almost 10 years between Maoist fighters and the Royal Nepalese Army, as it was then, ended in a peace settlement in 2006. No winners or losers were declared. It was a unique situation, because the army, which had been under the monarch’s control and had fought against the Maoists, did not reach the settlement with them: it was the other political parties that did so.
Nepal is still trying to solve the problems connected with promoting the peace process. Many things that were agreed are awaiting implementation and people are growing restless. The main issue with regard to the incomplete peace process probably relates to the national army, its size and its leadership. The army needs to be democratically controlled. Nepal needs to be offered assistance, as former Maoists are integrated into its national army, security forces and other positions of responsibility. The UN should swiftly investigate the human rights crimes that have occurred among Nepalese peacekeeping forces.
The National Human Rights Commission of Nepal deserves praise for its valuable work. The international community must endeavour to participate consistently in the resolution of critical problems. The future of the peace agreement, however, lies in the hands of the Nepalese decision-makers."@en1
