National Human Rights Commission (Nepal)

National Human Rights Commission (Nepal)

The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of Nepal was established as an independent body in 2000. The country has since displayed a poor record in human rights [2]. During 2005, Sushil Pyakurel, an NHRC Commissioner, was barred from his monitoring work and left the country [3]. In 2007, the appointment of new commissioners was welcomed internationally as a sign of progress.[1]
