He opined, “It is necessary to take the transitional justice to logical conclusion. We are ready to give justice to the victim families. We will do what can be done for that.” The PM argued that the government has been involved to carry out activities in order to fulfill the national and international responsibilities related to human rights and activities are underway to take action against the guilty of serious types of crime including human trafficking. He mentioned that the Commission has been working for human rights protection and promotion from its establishment and the government of Nepal has been helping the Commission like budget as well as other support.

Similarly, NHRC Chair Top Bahadur Magar shared that respect for human rights, its protection, promotion and fulfillment would be possible only from the collaboration of all—government, constitutional commission and civil society as the lone effort of any body of the state would not be possible for the same.
