Kathmandu :The Conflict Victims’ Common Platform (CVCP) today sent a letter to Minister for Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs, Bhanubhakta Dhakal, seeking the active participation of conflict victims in transitional justice process. The letter stated that experiences showed that a solution to the issue would not be possible by excluding conflict survivors in transitional law amendment process, it is said.

The CVCP which concluded its November 20-21, 2018 national conference issuing the Kathmandu charter has demanded the government also pay attention to the issues included in the charter.
