POLITICAL VIOLENCE: Culture of Impunity
Over the past 75 years, Nepal has seen seven different constitutions and four political systems, with violence consistently being used as a means to challenge and overthrow these systems. The 2015 Constitution of Nepal, the sixth in this series, includes references to past violent political movements in its preamble, effectively legitimizing political violence. While all political parties have denounced the recent violent incident in Tinkune, the ruling parties responsible for the new constitution have been less vocal in their condemnation of the violence that occurred during a protest by Pro-monarchists. With the constitution itself acknowledging and even glorifying past violence, there seems to be no end in sight to the culture of impunity in Nepal.
