NO GENUINE PEACE WITHOUT GENUINE DEMOCRACY
April 9, 2006, USA (California),
Public forum was organized on “The power of civil society: Promoting Dialogue, Averting violence “at Monterey California (USA).program was focus on conflict countries. Supreme Court Advocate from Nepal was invited to speak about Nepal. On occasion Advocate Tripathi spoke” Civil society of Nepal is fighting to establish democratic peace in the country. State terrorism and state lawlessness is the biggest issue in Nepal. Peaceful and nonviolent movement launches by seven parties and massively participated by civil society has been responded by royal military regime of in very cruel and ruthless manner. But despite of ruthless suppression there is popular and spontaneous uprising of people of Nepal want genuine democracy, freedom and socio economic justice. Without genuine democracy, rule of law and socio economic justice no peace can be establish. Peace and tyranny can not go togher.Peace is not only absence of war. Genuine peace requires genuine and participatory democracy, rule of a law. In Nepal long historical experience show that king and democracy can not go together in Nepal.
In today’s world Democracy and people’s sovereignty is paramount not king. This is defining moment in the history of Nepal. People are coming into street and challenging ruthless and tyrannical and military backed regime of king. King is totally isolated from people. King Gyanendra of Nepal is biggest road block for peace process in Nepal. He left no stone unturned to suppress popular aspiration and lead country toward heavy militarization. He has no respect for people’s rights popular will. He is working on total military strategy. Peace is not his agenda. His hidden agenda is to consolidate and perpetuate his direct and military based regime. Military is working with full impunity and without any accountability in Nepal. There is no civil control over military in Nepal. There is total breakdown of rule of law and constitution. There is no respect for international and national human rights and humanitarian law. There is huge political repression is going on in Nepal. At this critical juncture international civil society and community must come forward to address growing human rights and humanitarian crisis in Nepal. Nepal’s military regime is not a legitimate and constitutional governmet.It has no legitimacy at all international civil society must launch massive campaign to restore full democracy and human rights in Nepal.
World community should not do any thing to legitimatize royal military regime. Impunity should not be tolerated so who are committing a crime against humanity, war crimes and committing systematic violation of human rights must be face trial at international tribunal. They must be brought before justice. Royal military regime must be isolated from international community. People of Nepal must not left alone. Nepal’s democratic movement is the part of global democratic movement.Injstice in one part of the world is threat for justice and human dignity for everywhere. International civil society must exert huge pressure and must mobilize a shame against king’s regime.Internatinal community must support people‘s ongoing movement to establish republican democracy in Nepal. It is proven fact of history of Nepal that democracy and monarchy can not go together.
Program was organized by Global majority which is working at international level for nonviolent conflict resolution and Monterey institute of international Association and Conflict Resolution association. Prominent speaker from various countries who has play a important role for peaceful conflict resolution.Internatinal meeting of Global majority conducted April 6-9 at California also adopted advocate Dinesh Tripathi as a International adviser of global majority.

Your writing shows that only the king is the block of peace and democracy in the country. do you know the parliament is dissolved by poltical leaders…..Maoist problem was deepen in the period of poltical party’s rule. Yes , True Democracy is the only solution and stability of the country …All understands this facts …but poltical leaders like Girja, Sher Bahadur want to establish the government and administrative system as they practiced when they were in government . Every one belives in Democratic system but not the current leadership of major poltical parties. The world has contineously says that the consensus of constitutional forces is the current solution . But Poltical parties are not ready to leson King . they only want to return to the system that country practiced last 15 years. Actually , We can not see the leaders from Panchayat system and leaders after 2046. We need new leadership and vision and true democratic system. So the only wayout is the understanding between …
