Nepal Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has received support from international rights groups to initiate independent human rights monitoring of the conflict. But despite constant alerts, the government has ignored its call to establish five regional monitoring units in cooperation with the United Nations.

Instead, the government has proposed a parallel human rights cell in the prime minister's office. It is known that the army is not happy with the NHRC's findings on the Doramba and Mudhbara incidents. Since the breakdown of peace talks in August, there has been a rise in extrajudicial killings, torture and arbitrary detentions. "A large number of people have been held incommunicado in army barracks. Officers at army barracks have been refusing to accept habeas corpus notices issued by the Nepal Supreme Court on behalf of detainees," said a press statement by International Commission of Jurists.
