The UN’s human rights agency on Monday issued a report criticising Nepalese authorities for failing to bring to justice perpetrators of thousands of serious rights violations during the country’s decade-long civil war. ‘Perpetrators of serious violations on both sides have not been held accountable, in some cases have been promoted, and may now even be offered an amnesty,’ United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said in a statement introducing the 233-page report. The report, which details crimes committed by all parties during the drawn-out civil war that ended in 2006, was published from the UN agency’s archives.
