KATHMANDU: The 2006 Comprehensive Peace Agreement that brought then warring Maoists to peace process categorically called for establishment of Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Commission on Inquiry of the Disappeared to deal with transitional justice.
But in the following years, even after the elections of the Constituent Assembly that doubled as Parliament, the parties that had come together to sign the peace deal continued warring over several issues, resulting in failure to form the two major commissions. Eventually, after years of wrangling, the signatory parties to the peace deal could neither establish the commissions nor promulgate the constitution, and the CA-cum-Parliament died at the stroke of midnight of May 27, dealing a blow to the victims of decade-long conflict.
