- Name BASNET, Pushpa
- Alleged Dates of Arrest5 September 2003
- According to at least ten relatives of the disappeared interviewed by OHCHR, when they heard about the arrests, they made inquiries with state authorities, including the RNA, the Nepal Police, APF, and Home Ministry. Many filed habeas corpus petitions and visited various RNA barracks following clues wherever they could be found. They received no official information. One father searched continuously for his three sons, all student members of ANNISU-R, after they were arrested from public places in Kathmandu by individuals in plain clothes between August and December 2003. He immediately informed the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Amnesty International, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) and local non-governmental organisations after their disappearance and filed habeas corpus petitions. The detention of one of his sons, Birendra Basnet, was finally acknowledged by the RNA after 19 months of secret detention in June 2005. He was released under a Supreme Court order in December 2005. The father's efforts to find the other two sons, Pushpa and Dhirendra Basnet, have proven fruitless to date. Multiple witness testimony gathered by OHCHR confirms that all three sons were arrested and detained by the Bhairabnath or Yuddha Bhairab battalions.

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: सम्बद्ध कानुनी खाका
- “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))
