"The Significance of Justice" - short film by Amnesty International

Written By Pbc on Saturday 27 August 2011 | 07:35

Nepal's ten year internal conflict resulted in over 1,300 unresolved cases of disappearances by state forces and the Maoists. To date not one person has been prosecuted for these grave human rights abuses. 

This short film uses the story of five young men from Janakpur, Nepal, taken by members of the army and police in October 2003 to illustrate the political opposition to holding individuals responsible for such crimes to account from both sides of the conflict, through interviews with the brother of one of the disappeared, the lawyer working on the case, and the Maoist Home Minister.
