"The way we raised this issue at the Geneva meeting, it has become very clear to the entire world community as to who has imposed it, why and how it is done," Thapa told reporters at Tribhuvan International Airport upon his arrival home on Friday."Now the international community has also known the hardships that Nepali people have been undergoing and its root cause as well."
Stating that people in the land-locked Nepal have been deprived of the transit rights and are facing acute shortage of essential goods, Thapa hoped that India will play a positive role toward ending the crisis.
He claimed that representatives from almost all the countries, except for a few, have shown their goodwill toward supporting Nepal at this hour of need.
Thapa said that the promulgation of new constitution from the Constituent Assembly and that adoption of universal democratic principles and proportional inclusive representative system as key features of the new statute were widely appreciated in the forum, where representatives from 193 countries participated.
Asked about the questions regarding the transitional justice raised by Indian delegates during the Geneva meeting, Thapa said there is no point in raising such issues at this point as Nepal has already progressed with regard to addressing the conflict-era issues.
"We have already established Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and Commission on Enforced Disappearances (CED). These bodies have already started their work and also the Supreme Court has made significant contribution in this connection," said Thapa. "Thus, a country may express their concern on this matter but this is no longer a serious problem in Nepal."
