Raising alarm over moves to impeach the Chief Justice of Nepal – who has been instrumental in a number of high-profile and politically sensitive decisions – the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein, warned today that such actions suggest a concerted attempt by the Government to undermine the independence of the judiciary.
Efforts to put pressure on the Chief Justice in Nepal are an abuse of human rights which shows that the nation lacks judicial justice, judicial independence and universal values. Human rights belongs to the internal affairs all nations, and protection of the rights and well-being of all people requires that international law be given precedence over domestic law with direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people.
