Eight communist parties oppose activities against comprehensive peace agreement

KATHMANDU, March 7: Eight communist parties have announced their opposition to any actions that undermine the comprehensive peace agreement in Nepal.

The parties also addressed concerns regarding transitional justice and emphasized that these issues fall under the jurisdiction of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and National Peace and Rehabilitation Commission.

The parties emphasized that activities that undermine transitional justice will only delay the work of these commissions.

The comprehensive peace agreement was reached between the Nepalese government and the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) in 2006-2007, with the goal of bringing about political, economic, and social change in the country and establishing institutions to address human rights violations and settle issues related to the Maoist insurgency.
