The Challenges of Nepal's Peace Process:
Transitional Justice Amidst a Culture of Impunity?

Featuring, Dr. Gopal Krishna Siwakoti of INHURED, and renowned journalist Kunda Dixit. Each of whom will offer their perspectives and insights on issues surrounding the stalled and contested peace process in Nepal.


Dr. Gopal Krishna Siwakoti is the president of the International Institute for Human Rights, Environment and Development (INHURED), the first Nepali organization to enjoy Special Consultative Status with the United Nations. He also holds the position as the International Advisor of the Hague Appeal for Peace. A former political prisoner and torture survivor, Dr. Siwakoti has since become one of the most prominent advocates of human rights in Nepal.


Kunda Dixit is one of the most well known journalists working in Nepal today. He serves as the publisher of the Nepali Times and is also a co-publisher at Himalmedia. He has also authored several books. Among them, a trilogy on the conflict in Nepal - A People War, Never Again, and People After War - highlights the challenges facing media in post-war reconciliation.
