- 67. Birju Chowdhury
- On April 2, 2003 (Chiatra 19, 2059), twenty-one-year-old Birju Chowdhury walked from his home village in Tribuwan VDC, Dang district, to the market of Ghorahi, the district's headquarters, to sell some vegetables his family had grown and to obtain some supplies. After visiting a shopkeeper he knew, Birju Chowdhury was arrested by RNA troops from Ghorahi Army Barracks, who informed the shopkeeper of the arrest. The shopkeeper unsuccessfully tried to convince the soldiers that Birju Chowdhury was merely a farmer and had nothing to do with Maoist activities.
- Upon learning of the detention, the family immediately contacted government officials in Ghorahi. An ex-mayor of Ghorahi contacted the Ghorahi army barracks on the family's behalf, and was informed that Birju Chowdhury was undergoing interrogation, but would be released in due time. Over the next few months, released detainees repeatedly informed the family that they had seen Birju Chowdhury in detention at the Ghorahi army barracks. The family reported the case to various human rights organizations, who in turn informed the ICRC and NHRC of the "disappearance." About six months after his arrest, the family stopped receiving new information about the whereabouts of Birju Chowdhury .63

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)
