It will serve as a platform to showcase the important developments that have taken place in the field of crime investigation, the many activities that have taken place, in the field of investigation, prosecution, medico legal expertise, as well as the challenges being faced by our institution during the previous year. Nepal Police is now in the cusp of change, a new National Criminal Code and the National Criminal Procedure Code has come into force displacing then Muluki Ain, its effective operation and implementation has been one of the major points of focus of our organization in effectively bringing about the criminal justice system uptodate with modern practices and societal needs. The Operations and Crime Investigation Department has also focused its efforts and energy on meeting the challenges due to new types of crimes and need for modernization of the policing system. Recently established Human Trafficking Investigation Bureau, Central Cyber Bureau are some of the specialized investigative units which have come up and manning them and providing the right mix of training and experienced personnel for their effective day to day operation has been a challenge which Nepal Police is dealing with at present. Expanding the access to and capacity of Data Centers, enhancing Digital Forensic Lab and expanding capacity of Central Police Forensic Lab are also highlights of the year gone by. Digital sketch software, online police verification systems are some of the ongoing projects which will help to increase the efficiency of Nepal Police going forward. A more effective interaction with the community through Community Police Partnership programs will help to embed the concept of the rule of law in the society which is just now coming out of the shadow of the insurgence. The most daunting challenge ahead might be the allocation of resources as we move forward to a federal system of policing. Yet Nepal Police is preparing and has the will to follow the constitution and the laws of the land and will, I am sure, maintain its status as the foremost investigative organization of Nepal. I look forward to showcasing our activities from the past year and the way forward.

    ANNUAL PUBLICATION 1 2 CID MAGAZINE 2074 CIDMAGAZINE Annual Publication 2074 ANNUAL PUBLICATION 3 Felicitation from the Chief of Nepal Police I would like to extend warm felicitation to the Crime Investigation Department for the continuity of publication of CID Magazine on the occasion of its anniversary. The image of Nepal Police significantly depends on successful investigation of crimes. However, investigation of crimes is a challenging job and, at the same time, it is also dynamic. Therefore, it is an essential part of policing to upgrade investigative approaches and tools to make police more efficient to dispel the notion “criminals are one step ahead of police”. “Let a hundred culprits go free, not a single innocent be punished” is one of the widely accepted tenets in criminal jurisprudence, which implies that an investigator should take every measure to avoid conviction of an innocent person. Nevertheless, we also need to do everything in our capacity to ensure that criminals are not given any ground to perpetrate crimes with impunity. In order to achieve this, the Crime Investigation Department should continuously focus on development and expansion of its professionals, as well as other necessary resources. I am sure that the Crime Investigation Department will seize this opportunity to devise strategy by identifying and analyzing its weaknesses and future challenges in order to harness its potential and motivate its personnel to investigate and control crimes more effectively in the days to come. I extend my best wishes to CID Magazine and hope that it will be informative and resourceful to the readers. Prakash Aryal Inspector General of Police Nepal Police 4 CID MAGAZINE 2074 ANNUAL PUBLICATION 5 Message from the CID Chief I am grateful for this opportunity of serving as the stores and analyses all crime-related data is a Chief of Crime Investigation Department (CID), significant achievement of this department.

  • Assessing Inclusivity in the Post-War Army Integration Process in Nepal
    Assessing Inclusivity in the Post-War Army Integration Process in Nepal Subindra Bogati IPS Paper 11 Abstract One of the key features of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), signed in 2006 by the Maoists and seven other major political parties, was the integration and rehabilitation of the Maoist combatants. After years of discussion on the written agreements and their interpretations, which were designed to facilitate the decision-making process regarding the fate of Maoist combatants, the situation of having two armies in one country finally came to an end in 2013. However, there is no clear mechanism to observe and monitor the ex-combatants after providing them with voluntary retirement packages. It is important to understand the extent to which their aspirations for a better society have been met, or to what extent they experienced changes in the social, political and economic order of Nepal, since the programme of integration and rehabilitation commenced. And with over 15,000 trained and ideologically influenced combatants opting to retire, there is fear of a growing number of new armed ethno-political and criminal groups, who may be eager to recruit militarily trained and politically aware Maoist cadres. © Berghof Foundation Operations GmbH – CINEP/PPP 2014. All rights reserved. About the Publication This paper is one of four case study reports on Nepal produced in the course of the collaborative research project ‘Avoiding Conflict Relapse through Inclusive Political Settlements and State-building after Intra-State War’, running from February 2013 to April 2015. This project aims to examine the conditions for inclusive political settlements following protracted armed conflicts, with a specific focus on former armed power contenders turned state actors.

  • Nepal 2020 Human Rights Report
    NEPAL 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Nepal is a federal democratic republic. The 2015 constitution established the political system, including the framework for a prime minister as the chief executive, a bicameral parliament, and seven provinces. In 2017 the country held national elections for the lower house of parliament and the newly created provincial assemblies. Domestic and international observers characterized the national elections as “generally well conducted,” although some noted a lack of transparency in the work of the Election Commission of Nepal. The Nepal Police are responsible for enforcing law and order across the country. The Armed Police Force is responsible for combating terrorism, providing security during riots and public disturbances, assisting in natural disasters, and protecting vital infrastructure, public officials, and the borders. The Nepal Police and Armed Police Force report to the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Nepali Army is responsible for external security and international peacekeeping, but also has some domestic security responsibilities such as disaster relief operations and nature conservation efforts. The Nepali Army reports to the Ministry of Defense. Civilian authorities maintained effective authority over the Nepal Police, Armed Police Force, and Army. Human rights organizations documented some abuses by members of the security forces. Significant reported human rights issues included: unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings by the government; torture and cases of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by the government; arbitrary detention; serious restrictions on free expression, the press and the internet, including site blocking and criminal defamation laws; interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association, including overly restrictive nongovernmental organization laws; restrictions on freedom of movement for refugees, notably resident Tibetans; and significant acts of corruption.

  • 2019 Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor: Nepal
    Nepal MODERATE ADVANCEMENT In 2019, Nepal made a moderate advancement in efforts to eliminate the worst forms of child labor. The government published the Nepal Labor Force Survey Report, with data on child labor and forced labor. In addition, the government introduced a new education policy during the reporting year, providing free and compulsory education to all children. The police also created a new anti-trafficking bureau to assist in child victims’ rescue and rehabilitation, as well as coordination with the Department of Labor on cases of hazardous child labor. However, children in Nepal engage in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation, sometimes as a result of human trafficking. Children also perform dangerous tasks in the production of bricks. The Department of Labor’s budget, the number of labor inspectors, and available resources and training are all insufficient for enforcing labor laws, including those related to child labor. Furthermore, children age 17 are excluded from the protections of the country’s hazardous work list, leaving them vulnerable to the worst forms of child labor. I. PREVALENCE AND SECTORAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHILD LABOR Children in Nepal engage in the worst forms of child labor, including in commercial sexual exploitation, sometimes as a result of human trafficking. Children also perform dangerous tasks in the production of bricks. (1,2,3) Table 1 provides key indicators on children’s work and education in Nepal. Table 1.

On 21 July 2008, Ram Baran Yadav won 308 of the 590 votes in the Constituent Assembly to become Nepal's first president (AFP 21 July 2008). On 18 August 2008, Chairman Prachanda [Pushpa Kamal Dahal] of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M) was sworn in as prime minister with 464 Constituent Assembly votes (Xinhua News Agency 18 Aug. 2008; see also BBC 28 Aug. 2008). According to Agence France Presse (AFP), the terms of Nepal's peace process include the integration of Maoist combatants into Nepal's security forces, with the Maoists demanding that these combatants be integrated into the Nepalese army (25 Nov. 2008). Sources reporting on Maoist People's Liberation Army (PLA) integration into the Nepalese army include differing estimates on the number of combatants remaining in camps (ICRC 27 May 2008, 191; UN 30 Oct. 2008). According to the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in 2007, there were an estimated 30,000 members of the PLA contained in 7 main and 21 satellite camps (27 May 2008, 191). A UN Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) article indicates that there are 20,000 PLA combatants in the 28 cantonment camps monitored by the UN mission in Nepal (30 Oct.

Candles at the Maiti Ghar Mandala form the number 13,246, the official count of Nepalis killed as of May 2006. This memorial event was organized by citizens’ peace group Himsa Birodh as part of a monthly candlelit vigil at the Mandala. © This Report was produced by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Geneva, October 2012 3 OHCHR NEPAL CONFLICT REPORT – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Chapter 1 – Introduction Between 1996 and 2006, an internal conflict between the Government of Nepal and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN (Maoist)) left over 13,000 people dead and 1,300 missing. 1 By signing the Comprehensive Peace Accord (CPA) on 21 November 2006, the Government of Nepal and the CPN (Maoist) committed to establishing the truth about the conduct of the war and to ensuring the victims of the conflict receive both justice and reparations. 2 To that end, the CPA references commitments to form two transitional justice mechanisms: a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and a Commission on Disappeared Persons (CDP). This Report documents and analyses the major categories of conflict-related violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law that allegedly took place in Nepal from February 1996 to 21 November 2006. The cases and data presented in the Report come from the Transitional Justice Reference Archive (TJRA), a database of approximately 30,000 documents and cases sourced from the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), national and international NGOs and from OHCHR’s own monitoring work in the country following establishment of its country office in Nepal in May 2005.
