Nepal and the Pax Indianus
Published By: ACHR on eSS | Published Date: July, 14 , 2009In May 2009, the Asian Centre for Human Rights (ACHR)
warned of growing threats to sustainable peace in Nepal.
Since that time, Nepal’s politics have continued to polarize.
Nepal still has two armies – the Nepal Army and the Maoist
People’s Liberation Army, both with sharply opposing
political ambitions. The peace process is stalled. Outside
Kathmandu, the country is falling into anarchy: strikes have
paralysed the country, armed (including ethnic-based) groups,
societal violence and criminality proliferate. For the first
time, this chaos outside Kathmandu is beginning to affect
the capital itself. URL: [http://www.achrweb.org/briefingpapers/BPNepal-07-09.pdf]
