- 57. Raju Chettri
- At about midnight on October 18, 2003 (Kartik 1, 2060), a group of fifty to sixty RNA soldiers, some of them in uniform and others in civilian dress, surrounded the home of thirty-one-year-old Raju Chettri (also known as Mekh Bahadur Chettri) in Pumdi Bhumdi VDC, Kaski district. Chettri tried to hide, but the army began beating his two brothers, threatening to kill them if Chettri didn't surrender, so he came out of the house and went with the soldiers.
- The day after the arrest, Chettri's relatives went to the CDO's office, who confirmed that Chettri was in custody, but told the family not to worry, explaining it was "only for a small interrogation." The family reported the "disappearance" to Amnesty International, the ICRC, INSEC, and the Federation of Journalists, among others. They visited the Fulbari barracks, the Bijayapur barracks, and the Gairapatan Police Post, but everyone they spoke to denied any involvement in the arrest. However, two detainees released from the Fulbari barracks told the relatives that they had been kept together with Chettri, and smuggled a short, two-line letter out from Chettri around March 2004.
- Chettri was a journalist for the pro-Maoist newspaper, Rastriya Shavhiman Weekly. The newspaper was later shut down by the government because of its pro-Maoist sympathies. When his relatives tried to visit him at Fulbari barracks, the soldiers refused them entry, saying that "a journalist who only writes about army killings is not a true journalist."54

Applicable International Law
- During armed conflicts of all types, a substantial body of law – with both international and domestic origins – is in operation. In terms of international law, two main systems applied during the conflict – international human rights law (IHRL) and international humanitarian law (IHL). These two systems are largely complementary and mutually reinforcing, with the shared objective of protecting life and human dignity. The primary difference between them is when they apply. IHRL provides protection during times of peace and times of war, while IHL applies only during periods of armed conflict. Both systems of law consist of treaties ratified by states parties, and of customary international law. (continue reading)
लागु अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय कानुन
- सबै प्रकारका सशस्त्र द्वन्द्वहरूमा राष्ट्रिय तथा अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय दुवै रूपमा निर्माण भएका कानुनहरूको समूह कार्यान्वयनमा रहेको हुन्छ। अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय कानुनको सन्दर्भमा, दुईवटा प्रमुख प्रणालीहरू द्वन्द्वको क्रममा लागु गरिएका हुन्छन् र ती हुन् अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय मानवअधिकार कानुन र अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय मानवीय कानुन। यी दुवै प्रणाली एक अर्काका परिपूरक तथा एक अर्कालाई मद्दत पुर्याउने खालका छन् र यिनीहरूको साझा उद्देश्य मानव मर्यादाको संरक्षण गर्नु हो। यिनीहरूबीचको प्राथमिक भिन्नता भनेको ती कतिबेला लागु हुन्छन् भन्ने हो। मानवअधिकार कानुनले शान्ति र युद्ध दुवै समयमा सुरक्षा प्रदान गर्दछ भने मानवीय कानुन सशस्त्र द्वन्द्वको बेला मात्र लागु हुन्छ। दुवै कानुनी प्रणाली पक्षराष्ट्रद्वारा अनुमोदित सन्धिहरू र प्रथाजनित अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय कानुनबाट निर्माण भएका हुन्छन्। (बाँकी पढ्नुहोस्)
