Government officials have made strong objections about what they call extra-territorial interference by the UN's OHCHR-Nepal. They made the accusation at a recent high-level meeting headed by Foreign Minister Ramesh Nath Pandey. "The High Commissioner's office is not supposed to tell the government to announce a ceasefire," said a secretary who attended the meeting. "All that office should do is announce whenever there is a violation of the international concept of human rights." Another participating government official said that the UN office is quick to point out any small transgressions by government forces but closes its eyes to Maoist attacks. Government officials also criticised the office's reports as being based on newspaper articles or reports prepared by NGOs. The meeting was attended by the chief secretary and the secretaries of the Home, Defence and Women and Social Welfare Ministries, along with senior officials of the army and police. With the 62nd meeting of the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva in March, Ian Martin sought the government's input about one month ago. Once Martin gets a reply he will prepare his report and send it to UN Human Rights High Commissioner Louise Arbour.
