- 80. Bir Bahadur Thapa
- At about 3 p.m. on April 28, 2002 (Baishak 15, 2059), sixteen-year-old Bir Bahadur Thapa, a grade ten student, was arrested by a group of five or six civilian-clothed RNA soldiers from his home in Bijauri VDC, Dang district. The soldiers reassured the family they just wanted to ask Thapa some questions, and that he would return home soon. Villagers in the next village later told the family that the soldiers had ordered Thapa to run away -- a common tactic used by RNA soldiers, who then shoot the detainee and claim he was trying to escape -- but Thapa refused, and was then blindfolded and handcuffed.
- The family was unable to report the case immediately, because the state of emergency was declared soon after the arrest and they were afraid to leave their village. During the ceasefire, relatives went to report the "disappearance" to human rights organizations and the ICRC, and visited all the army barracks in the district, but learned no news. Another relative was arrested in August 2004 (Bhadra 2061), and was told by a subinspector at the regional police station in Ghorahi that Bir Bahadur Thapa had been detained there for three months, but was not told what happened to him afterwards.
- The family is adamant that Thapa was a student, and not involved in politics. However, Thapa's father is active in the political structures of CPN-M, and the family believes Thapa was "disappeared" because of his father's political activities.77

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)
