Executive summary and recommendations -- Introduction -- Can there be peace and justice? -- Cultures of impunity -- After the war -- What needs to be done -- Conclusion
Summary
Failure to address the systematic crimes committed during Nepal's ten-year civil war is threatening the peace process. There has been not a single prosecution in civilian courts for any abuses. The cultures of impunity that enabled the crimes in the first place have remained intact, further increasing public distrust and incentives to resort to violence. The immediate priorities should be prosecutions of the most serious crimes, investigation of disappearances and action to vet state and Maoist security force members
