The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) blamed the government for not acting on its recommendations, thereby diminishing the significance of the rights body.<\/p>\n
In a meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Social Justice and Human Rights, the rights body urged lawmakers to press the government to implement its reports.<\/p>\n
NHRC claimed that the legal provision assigning power to the attorney general, to conduct a judicial trial on its cases, is a major hurdle.<\/p>\n
The Committee\u2019s Chairman, Sushil Kumar Shrestha, said that they will summon the concerned government officials to inquire over the non-implementation of NHRC recommendations.<\/p>\n
On average, the government implements hardly 14 percent of the complaints put forth by the Commission on human rights violations in the country, every year, noted NHRC officials.<\/p>\n
As per the records, of the total 735 rights violation cases recommended by NHRC between 2000 and 2013, only 103 were fully implemented by the government.<\/p>\n
