Jul 06, Kathmandu - The National Human Rights Commission of Nepal has submitted its investigation report on human rights violations during the Gen-Z Movement to the United Nations human rights system in Geneva, Switzerland. The commission has confirmed that the report has been forwarded to international human rights mechanisms for their information.

In a 29-page report previously released, the commission concluded that severe human rights violations occurred during the Genggi protests. It recommended that the government take legal action against top political leaders, security officials, and other individuals responsible. The report also suggested establishing clear legal provisions related to crimes against humanity.

Human rights experts believe that once the report reaches international bodies in Geneva, there could be increased scrutiny of Nepal’s human rights record. The United Nations may also seek updates from the Nepal government on the progress of implementing the commission’s recommendations. However, sending the report to Geneva does not automatically trigger international investigations or sanctions.

The commission stated that it has already shared its decisions and recommendations with the Nepal government for implementation. Moving forward, the government’s response, progress on implementing the recommendations, and accountability measures could become topics of interest within the international community.
