Problems facing Nepal cannot be solved by force:India to Nepal

Geneva: Amid political turmoil in Nepal, India today called on its neighbour to consolidate Constitution building by accommodating "all sections" and emphasised that problems facing it cannot be resolved through force. In its statement here at the second Universal Periodic Review of Nepal, India also urged the Himalayan nation to investigate and take credible measures to prevent recurrence of "incidents of violence, extra-judicial killings and ethnic discrimination in the country". "We note the concerns expressed by UN human rights bodies, UN Country Team and Nepal's own Human Rights Commission over continuing incidents of violence, extra-judicial killings and ethnic discrimination in the country," India said. Problems facing Nepal are political in nature and cannot be resolved through force or a security-based approach," India said in its statement at the Interactive Dialogue at 23rd Session of the Universal Periodic Review Working Group.
