- 48. Pushpa Raj Devkota
- Twenty-eight-year-old Pushpa Raj Devkota was a local Maoist activist responsible for propagandistic work. He was arrested on December 24, 2003 (Poush 9, 2060), in Parasi Bazzar, Nawalparasi district. The family found out about his arrest about a month and a half later from a letter delivered by a messenger. The letter indicated that Devkota was arrested by "security personnel in civilian clothes."
- Several days later the family reported the case to INSEC and the ICRC. On July 11, 2004, after a visit to the Nawalparasi barracks, a respected international organization informed them that the army had admitted they killed Devkota in the barracks on May 20, 2004 (Jestha 7,2061).
- The organization urged the army to inform the family, but the RNA refrained from doing so. The relatives did not dare to contact the barracks themselves, fearing persecution. They contacted the CDO, and were told that nobody was killed inside the barracks, but that one person died while being transported to a hospital from the barracks, and that that might have been Devkota. The death was never formally acknowledged, and Devkota remains "disappeared" to date.46

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)

- “बलपूर्वक बेपत्ता पार्ने कार्य”लाई अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय मानवीय कानुन तथा मानवअधिकार कानुनअन्तर्गत एकै किसिमले परिभाषा गरिएको छ। रोम विधानमा परिभाषा गरिएअनुसार मानवीय कानुनअन्तर्गत बलपूर्वक बेपत्ता पार्ने कार्यका तत्वहरू र मानवअधिकारको कानुनी क्षेत्रका मुख्य पाठबाट लिइएको यसको परिभाषाको तुलना यस प्रकार गरिएको छ। (बाँकी पढ्नुहोस्))
