The major challenge to the protection of human rights in Nepal is the reigning culture of impunity. We campaign against impunity and are vociferous for the reform of law and policy which is inconsistent with Nepal's international obligations. We work for the enactment of comprehensive legislation which adequately addresses disappearances, torture and witness protection. We have also been campaigning for the establishment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Disappearance Commission and the Ratification of various international treaties safeguarding the rights of people. As a part of International Advocacy/Lobby, AF has been making regular submissions to UN Mechanisms and presentations in different international fora. Recent AF Campaigns include:
1. Campaign Against Impunity
2. E-petition Campaign
3. Media Campaign Against Impunity
4. Advocacy on Vetting
We welcome all national/international organizations and individuals to join hands with us and express solidarity to our efforts to combat impunity and uphold human rights and rule of law in Nepal.
