Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has said that amnesty will not be granted in cases of serious crimes committed during the armed conflict while finalizing transitional justice.
Prime Minister Oli, who arrived in Boston today from New York, USA after participating in the 79th General Assembly of the United Nations, while addressing a program held at Howard University, clarified that the transitional justice process recently passed by the Parliament will protect the rights and interests of the victims, including legal remedies.
After the formation of the government under his leadership with the participation of two major parties, the bill related to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Commission of Inquiry on Disappeared Persons was passed by the Parliament on the basis of almost unanimous consent.
He made it clear that he was determined to end the violent process to heal the wounds of the conflict and help the entire society move forward with a spirit of reconciliation, peace and harmony. Prime Minister Oli informed that Nepal is a naturally non-violent, tolerant and peaceful society as it is the birthplace of Gautam Buddha, the promoter of peace.
Prime Minister Oli also presented the topic of climate justice, which is being raised in the forums of the United Nations, among the professors and students of the university.
