Nepal, a country with urgent development needs, has been overwhelmed by an unstable political environment over the past two decades. It is on this background that corrupt practices have continued to flourish in areas of public and private life. The 2016 Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) placed Nepal 131st among 176 countries with a score of 29 out of 100. In 2015, it ranked 130th among 168 countries with a score of 27 out of 100. This signifies the existence of pervasive corruption. The TI visualized generic pillars of integrity - with foundations of politics, society, economy and culture The National integrity System of Nepal demonstrated three sound characteristics of strength in 2017. Because of these features, the country could really enter into an era of implementation of the republican constitution. Elected local governments are in full shape in six provinces while province number 2 is in final preparation for the third phase- local polls. There is consensus among all political parties (represented in the parliament) including those which agitated against some provisions of constitution during the past two years, for holding provincial elections in 7 provinces and polls for federal parliament within the constitutional deadline of January 21, 2018. Nepal also witnessed optimism in economy generated by comparatively more stability in government and politics accompanied by less labor-unrest and more energy-supply during the year. The 7.2 % growth last year in the economy boosted investment particularly in infrastructure supporting sectors like cement, iron, hotel, bank, insurance, hydro-electricity and tourism. Some milestone legislative measures – Criminal Code Bill 2073 (amendment to Civil Code 1964), Public Procurement Act 2073, Local level Election Act 2073, Election of MPs 2073, Election of MLAs 2073 and Annual Progress Report (APR) 2073/74 (2016/17) 6 Labor Bill 2074, among others, were endorsed by the Parliament. Similarly, Bills related to medical education, local level, judicial council, social behavior etc are being deliberated at the Parliament. These legal frameworks increase the hope towards curbing impunity, criminalizing corruption and improving the accountability mechanism. On the backdrop of some success in the legal front, failures of NIS at the grass-root level is felt by earthquake survivors and flood victims. The pace of relief and reconstruction has been extremely slow. Victims of the decade long insurgency are ignored and overlooked by those at the helm of governance. Big promises, small delivery- the state Despite the much proclaimed policy of zero tolerance to corruption, the 'anti-corruption' agenda remained in the backyard of most of the NIS-pillars. Political parties and government did not take any initiative to end this trend. Their dependence on power sharing and remaining close to the resources of the government abets corruption. Neither the ruling parties nor the opposition raised a strong voice on major issues reported by the media - the Nepal Oil Corporation land purchase deal, affiliation of medical colleges, gold smuggling, Ncell capital gain tax, Tax Settlement Commission embezzlement etc. Despite much public support, no assurance was made by the political leaders to look into the issues raised by Dr Govinda KC for the much needed reforms in the medical education sector. The anti-corruption body - Commission for the Investigation of Abuse of Authority – had to take a defensive position because of a court case and an impeachment-motion against its then chief commissioner. Following the SC-verdict, on the annulment of appointment of Lok Man Singh Karki as Chief Commissioner, CIAA faces a challenge to clear its public image. Its institutional aura was also damaged by the impeachment motion at the parliament. The then CIAA-chief was accused of running parallel government, misusing power and threatening bureaucrats and politicians. CIAA is now pursuing Annual Progress Report (APR) 2073/74 (2016/17) 7 a strategy of restoring its image and undertaking its routine tasks – promotive (awareness), preventive (reforms) and punitive (action-oriented measures). Similarly, another anti-corruption body –National Vigilance Centre – also remained virtually non- effective in the absence of adequate support from the PM. It could neither produce its annual report in time nor could it draw the attention of Prime Minster

  • India-Nepal,Kalapani,Nepal,Open Border
    APRIL 2020 ISSUE NO. 356 India and Nepal’s Kalapani Border Dispute: An Explainer SOHINI NAYAK ABSTRACT Neighbours India and Nepal, who share an open border, have not always had the most amicable of relations, oscillating from one extreme to the other. One of their long-standing disputes is over the border area of Kalapani. This discord has the potential to disrupt the other aspects of their ties, especially in the domains of the economy and cross-border security. Further, if the two countries fail to arrive at a resolution to the disagreement, it might give other stakeholders such as China an opportunity to interfere. This brief explains the Kalapani issue and in that context, explores what can be expected of the bilateral relationship in the future.

  • Diplomacy in the Perspective of Boundaries 37
    Diplomacy in the Perspective of Boundaries 37 DIPLOMACY IN THE PERSPECTIVE OF BOUNDARIES n Buddhi Narayan Shrestha Abstract Diplomacy is an instrument for negotiation to find mutually acceptable solutions to a common challenge in a non-confrontational and polite manner. In this perspective, border diplomacy refers to the diplomatic approaches to demarcate, manage and resolve the border disputes in a peaceful manner. For Nepal, border diplomacy for demarcation and management should be based on the dynamic equilibrium of both the neighbours, China and India. This paper revisits the crux of diplomacy and border diplomacy for the peaceful settlement of disputes in a peaceful way. The research emphasizes on border demarcation diplomacy, focussing on Nepal-India and Nepal-China borders. The study explains about the border dispute between Nepal and India in the region of Lipulek, Limpiyadhura and Kalapani. Further, the paper suggests border management diplomacy for Nepal-China and Nepal-India, focusing on the Kalapani issue, and alerts about the possible circumstances during the negotiations and recommends Nepal’s potential strategies for border management in the future. Keywords: Nepal-India Borderlands, Border Management Diplomacy, Border Demarcation Diplomacy, Broader Strategy Background The word “diplomacy” comes from the Latin word “diploma” which refers to an official document, which in turn is derived from the Greek word δίπλωμα (diploma), which meant document folded over (Constantinou, 1996, p. 77). But in modern international relations, diplomacy is the process of conducting negotiations between representatives of groups or states. Comprehensively, diplomacy as a tool of foreign policy refers to the conduct of international relations through professional diplomats and experts concerning the issues of peacekeeping, trade, war, economics and culture, and ushering international treaties, agreements, alliances and other manifestations of foreign policy (Melissen, 2005).

  • What Is Sugauli Treaty ?*
    AIMSA Collection For study What is Sugauli Treaty ?* Buddhi Narayan Shrestha** 1. Background: The border treaty signed between the then government of East India Company and Nepal on March 4, 1816 is known as the Sugauli Treaty. The result of the treaty was that Nepal lost almost one-third of its territory on the east, south and west. Students of history know it well why and how the treaty took place. But it would be beneficial for others as well to know the historical background of the country. Late King Prithvi Narayan Shah unified the small fiefdoms / principalities and created a big and powerful Nepal. His descendents continued with the unification and expansion of the country. The East India Company government could not bear Nepal spreading out and becoming stronger. So, they resorted to trickery and deceit in the battles of Nalapani, Jaithak and Makawanpur to defeat the Gorkhalis and forced Nepal to counter-sign in the Sugauli Treaty. 2. Unequal Treaty: Sugauli Treaty is known as an unequal treaty. Because any treaty is meant to give both the sides more or less equal or equitable benefits even if one side get a little more benefit and the other a little less. But Nepal suffered only losses because of the treaty while the British India gained a huge territorial advantage. The British got the facilities of corridor in the east and in the west, also it got all the facilities and benefits. No provision of facility and concession was made for Nepal. The territory of Nepal that had been unified and expanded to Teesta in the east, Kangara Fort in the West and nearly to the confluence of Ganga and Jamuna in the south, was curbed on all the three sides.
